DefiLlama Interaction Conduit

This repository furnishes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint that functions as a reverse proxy to the publicly accessible DefiLlama API. It empowers intelligent agents (like Cursor) to interface with the DefiLlama endpoints by leveraging the provided OpenAPI specification.

Key Capabilities

• Automates the provisioning of MCP functions derived directly from the DefiLlama OpenAPI schema.
• Utilizes the definitive DefiLlama API documentation.
• Transforms abstracted MCP callTool invocations into concrete HTTP requests directed at the DefiLlama infrastructure.
• Manages the reception and error handling for all API responses.

Setup and Deployment Directives

Utilizing npx (Preferred for Agent Clients)

Once published to the npm registry, clients such as Cursor can be configured to fetch and execute this server automatically via npx. Insert the following configuration into your client's MCP manifest (e.g., mcp.json):

{ "mcpServers": { "defillama": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@nic0xflamel/defillama-mcp-server" ] } } }

Kindly substitute "defillama" with your preferred identifier key.

Integration via Smithery (For Claude Desktop Use)

To achieve streamlined installation through Smithery:

bash npx -y @smithery/cli install @nic0xflamel/defillama-mcp-server --client claude

Local Execution / Development Flow

1. Clone the source repository.
2. Execute dependency installation: npm install.
3. Compile the project: npm run build.
4. Initiate the service: Execute npm start or utilize the globally linked binary defillama-mcp-server (ensure npm link has been run if not using npx).
5. Adjust your MCP communication layer to connect via stdio, referencing the execution command structure provided in the npx example (adapting for local path resolution or the linked binary).

WIKIPEDIA: XMLHttpRequest (XHR) is an API in the form of a JavaScript object whose methods transmit HTTP requests from a web browser to a web server. The methods allow a browser-based application to send requests to the server after page loading is complete, and receive information back. XMLHttpRequest is a component of Ajax programming. Prior to Ajax, hyperlinks and form submissions were the primary mechanisms for interacting with the server, often replacing the current page with another one.

== History == The concept behind XMLHttpRequest was conceived in 2000 by the developers of Microsoft Outlook. The concept was then implemented within the Internet Explorer 5 browser (1999). However, the original syntax did not use the XMLHttpRequest identifier. Instead, the developers used the identifiers ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP") and ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"). As of Internet Explorer 7 (2006), all browsers support the XMLHttpRequest identifier. The XMLHttpRequest identifier is now the de facto standard in all the major browsers, including Mozilla's Gecko layout engine (2002), Safari 1.2 (2004) and Opera 8.0 (2005).

=== Standards === The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) published a Working Draft specification for the XMLHttpRequest object on April 5, 2006. On February 25, 2008, the W3C published the Working Draft Level 2 specification. Level 2 added methods to monitor event progress, allow cross-site requests, and handle byte streams. At the end of 2011, the Level 2 specification was absorbed into the original specification. At the end of 2012, the WHATWG took over development and maintains a living document using Web IDL.

== Usage == Generally, sending a request with XMLHttpRequest has several programming steps.

Create an XMLHttpRequest object by calling a constructor: Call the "open" method to specify the request type, identify the relevant resource, and select synchronous or asynchronous operation: For an asynchronous request, set a listener that will be notified when the request's state changes: Initiate the request by calling the "send" method: Respond to state changes in the event listener. If the server sends response data, by default it is captured in the "responseText" property. When the object stops processing the response, it changes to state 4, the "done" state. Aside from these general steps, XMLHttpRequest has many options to control how the request is sent and how the response is processed. Custom header fields can be added to the request to indicate how the server should fulfill it, and data can be uploaded to the server by providing it in the "send" call. The response can be parsed from the JSON format into a readily usable JavaScript object, or processed gradually as it arrives rather than waiting for the entire text. The request can be aborted prematurely or set to fail if not completed in a specified amount of time.
