MCP Bitpanda Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes tools for interacting with the Bitpanda API. This server allows programmatic access to Bitpanda features like trades, wallets, and transactions via the MCP protocol.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18 or later recommended)
• npm (comes with Node.js)
• A Bitpanda API Key (set as BITPANDA_API_KEY environment variable)
• (Optional) MCP-compatible client or runner (e.g., VSCode extension, CLI)

Setup

1. Clone the repository or ensure you are in the project directory.

2. Install dependencies: bash npm install

3. Build the server: bash npm run build This will create a build directory with the compiled JavaScript code.

Installing via Smithery

To install MCP Bitpanda Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @matteoantoci/mcp-bitpanda --client claude

Running the Server

• Directly: bash node build/index.js or, if you have a start script: bash npm run start

• Via MCP runner: Configure your MCP client to run the server using stdio transport. Example MCP settings entry: json "mcp-bitpanda": { "transportType": "stdio", "command": "node", "args": [ "/path/to/mcp-bitpanda/build/index.js" ] // Add environment variables, e.g., for the API key "environmentVariables": { "BITPANDA_API_KEY": "YOUR_BITPANDA_API_KEY" // Replace with your actual API key or use a secure method to provide it } // ... other optional settings ... }
