Upbit Exchange Interface Server (MCP Implementation)

This repository furnishes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) compatible server designed to interface seamlessly with the Upbit Cryptocurrency Exchange's published OpenAPI. It equips developers with robust utilities for querying market intelligence (e.g., quotes, order books, trade logs, candlestick data), examining custodial asset status, initiating and invalidating trade placements, handling digital asset transfers, and applying quantitative analysis techniques.

Core Capabilities

• Acquisition of market telemetry (tickers, order depth, transaction records, candle timelines)
• Access to account holdings (asset balances, historical order submissions)
• Mechanisms for order placement and cancellation
• Functions supporting deposit and withdrawal operations
• Integrated quantitative analysis primitives

Operational Functionality Matrix (Korean Documentation)

Market Data Acquisition

• Current cryptocurrency quotation retrieval (get_ticker)
• Order book visualization data fetch (get_orderbook)
• Recent transaction log retrieval (get_trades)
• Summary statistics for major crypto pairs (get_market_summary)

Account Status Review

• Inventory of held assets and associated balances (get_accounts)
• Querying past order submissions (get_orders)
• Detailed inspection of a singular order record (get_order)
• Statement review for digital asset movements (get_deposits_withdrawals)

Transaction Execution Layer

• Creation of limit/market buy orders (create_order)
• Creation of limit/market sell orders (create_order)
• Trade request termination (cancel_order)

Visual examples demonstrating in-situ usage are provided below.

Prerequisites for Deployment

Accessing the Upbit API necessitates securing the requisite credential set:

1. Establish a verified account on Upbit if not yet registered.
2. Navigate to the Upbit Developer Portal.
3. Generate a new set of API access credentials.
4. Ensure that the assigned permissions (read access, trading authority, withdrawal capability, as required) are correctly configured.
5. Securely cache your credentials (UPBIT_ACCESS_KEY, UPBIT_SECRET_KEY) within a local .env configuration file (refer to the Installation section for structure).

Installation Procedures

1. Repository Cloning: bash git clone https://github.com/solangii/upbit-mcp-server.git cd upbit-mcp-server

2. Dependency Resolution: bash cd upbit-mcp-server uv sync

If the uv dependency manager is absent, install it via:

```bash # Install uv installer script curl -Ls https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Update shell initialization file to include uv in PATH

echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc source ~/.zshrc # Adapt for your specific shell (e.g., .bashrc) ```

1. Environment Variable Configuration: In the project's root directory, create a .env file and populate it with your Upbit secrets: UPBIT_ACCESS_KEY=your_access_key_here UPBIT_SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key_here

Execution Methods

Integration via Claude Desktop

Method 1: Direct Configuration Embedding

Integrate the MCP service straight into Claude's configuration registry:

1. Obtain and install Claude Desktop.

2. Modify the configuration file path specified below:

3. macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

4. Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

5. Incorporate the following JSON structure (ensure directory paths are absolute): json { "mcpServers": { "upbit-mcp-server": { "command": "/full/path/to/upbit-mcp-server/.venv/bin/python", "args": [ "/full/path/to/upbit-mcp-server/main.py" ] } } }

6. Initiate a restart of the Claude application to load the revised settings.

Method 2: Utilizing the fastmcp Utility

fastmcp install main.py --name "Upbit API"

Direct Python Execution

uv run python main.py

Active Development Mode (Web Interface Access)

fastmcp dev main.py

Important Advisory

• Caution is paramount, as this service possesses the capability to submit live trading instructions.
• Under no circumstances should your private API credentials be committed to publicly accessible version control systems.

Historical Context of Asynchronous Web Communication

XMLHttpRequest (XHR) represents a browser-native JavaScript object interface designed to dispatch asynchronous HTTP requests between a client-side web application and a remote web server. Its methods enable post-page-load data exchange, fundamentally underpinning the Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) paradigm. Before Ajax gained prominence, server interaction relied predominantly on full-page refreshes triggered by hyperlinks or standard HTML form submissions. The genesis of the XHR concept traces back to 2000, originating with Microsoft Outlook developers. It was subsequently implemented in Internet Explorer 5 (1999), although initially employing COM object instantiation syntax like ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP") rather than the standardized identifier. By the release of Internet Explorer 7 (2006), cross-browser support for the XMLHttpRequest identifier became universal. It is now the accepted standard across major browser engines, including Mozilla's Gecko (2002), Safari 1.2 (2004), and Opera 8.0 (2005).

Standardization Trajectory

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) published the initial Working Draft specification for the XMLHttpRequest object in April 2006. This was followed by the Level 2 specification Working Draft on February 25, 2008, which introduced features like progress monitoring, cross-site request facilitation, and byte stream handling. By the close of 2011, Level 2 features were consolidated back into the primary specification document. In 2012, development responsibility transitioned to the WHATWG, which maintains the document as a continuously evolving specification utilizing Web IDL definitions.

Standard Operational Flow

Executing a request via XMLHttpRequest generally involves a sequence of programming steps:

1. Instantiate the XMLHttpRequest object via its constructor call.
2. Invoke the "open" method to define the request method (GET/POST, etc.), specify the target Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), and declare the operation mode as synchronous or asynchronous.
3. For asynchronous operations, assign an event listener callback function designed to react to state transitions.
4. Initiate the actual data transmission by invoking the "send" method.
5. Process state changes within the defined event listener. Upon successful server response, data is typically accumulated in the "responseText" attribute. When the object finishes processing, its state transitions to 4, signifying completion ("done").

Beyond these fundamental steps, XHR offers extensive control over request transmission and response processing. Custom HTTP headers can be appended to influence server behavior. Data can be uploaded to the server by passing it directly into the "send" argument. Server responses, commonly formatted as JSON, can be parsed immediately into native JavaScript objects or streamed incrementally rather than waiting for the entire payload. Furthermore, the request can be terminated prematurely or subjected to a timeout constraint.
