0xArchive MCP Server

Typed 0xArchive market data tools for MCP-capable clients.

0xArchive is granular market data infrastructure for Hyperliquid and Lighter.xyz. HIP-3 builder perps, HIP-4 outcome markets, and Hyperliquid Spot all live under the Hyperliquid namespace. This server exposes 111 typed tools for order books, trades, candles, funding, open interest, liquidations, L4/L3 order-level data, outcome markets, spot pairs, TWAP statuses, data quality, and wallet-managed auth.

Use MCP when you want typed tools or shared client config across any client that supports MCP, including Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex CLI or IDE setups with MCP enabled, and other agent clients. Claude Code and GPT Codex are equal first-class coding-agent paths: use this server wherever MCP is available, and use the same API key with the CLI, SDKs, skills, llms.txt, OpenAPI, and markdown docs wherever shell, repo, or file context is the better route.

First Tool Result

The MCP server is published to npm as @0xarchive/mcp-server. Install it globally or run it on demand with npx:

# Option A: install globally
npm install -g @0xarchive/mcp-server

# Option B: one-shot with npx (no install needed)
npx -y @0xarchive/mcp-server

export OXARCHIVE_API_KEY="0xa_your_api_key"

# Claude Code command mechanics (npx form, no local checkout required)
claude mcp add 0xarchive -s user -t stdio \
  -e OXARCHIVE_API_KEY="$OXARCHIVE_API_KEY" \
  -- npx -y @0xarchive/mcp-server

The claude mcp add line is a Claude Code setup mechanic. Codex CLI or IDE users with MCP enabled should register the same stdio command in their Codex MCP config: npx -y @0xarchive/mcp-server. Ask one narrow question first:

What's BTC's current funding rate?

Expected result: the client invokes a concrete 0xArchive MCP tool and returns live venue data or a direct auth/configuration error.

Usage Examples

Prompt	Tool that fires
"Give me a BTC market summary"	get_summary
"Show ETH 4h candles for the past week"	get_candles
"What's the current funding rate for SOL?"	get_funding_current
"Compare BTC funding on Hyperliquid vs Lighter"	get_funding_current + get_lighter_funding_current
"Show me SOL liquidations in the last 24 hours"	get_liquidations
"Get BTC orderbook with 20 levels"	get_orderbook
"Any data incidents this month?"	get_data_incidents
"What's the km:US500 price on HIP-3?"	get_hip3_summary
"List active HIP-4 outcome markets"	get_hip4_outcomes
"Show me the SLA report for January 2026"	get_data_sla

Setup

1. Install

# Global install
npm install -g @0xarchive/mcp-server

# Or run on demand without installing
npx -y @0xarchive/mcp-server

2. Get an API Key

Create an account at 0xArchive signup, generate an API key, and set OXARCHIVE_API_KEY. Or use the web3_challenge and web3_signup tools to get a free API key with just an Ethereum wallet, no browser needed.

3. Add to an MCP client

Claude Code command mechanics:

claude mcp add 0xarchive -s user -t stdio \
  -e OXARCHIVE_API_KEY=0xa_your_api_key \
  -- npx -y @0xarchive/mcp-server

4. Add to Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "0xarchive": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@0xarchive/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "OXARCHIVE_API_KEY": "0xa_your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

For GPT Codex and other agent workflows, use this same stdio server command wherever your client supports local MCP servers. If MCP is not available there, route the same API key through the CLI, SDKs, skills, markdown docs, llms.txt, or OpenAPI. The acquisition path is shared: make one authenticated request, then expand into replay, SDKs, Data Catalog exports, or agent tooling.

Realtime WebSocket Channels

The MCP server exposes the historical REST endpoints. For realtime, point any WebSocket client at wss://api.0xarchive.io/ws?apiKey=... and subscribe to:

Channel	Notes
trades, hip3_trades, hip4_trades, lighter_trades	Realtime + replay fills (one row per side per trade)
liquidations, hip3_liquidations	Realtime + replay liquidations. Each event is a fill row with is_liquidation: true (same shape as trades).
orderbook, hip3_orderbook, hip4_orderbook, lighter_orderbook	Realtime + replay L2 orderbook updates (~1.2 sec resolution)
hip4_open_interest	Realtime + replay HIP-4 per-side open interest snapshots
hip4_l4_diffs, hip4_l4_orders, l4_diffs, l4_orders, hip3_l4_diffs, hip3_l4_orders	Order-level events (Pro+, realtime only, no replay)
outcome_settled	HIP-4 outcome resolution event. Fired once per outcome when is_settled flips to true.

Build+ tier required for any WebSocket access; Pro+ for L4 channels.

Web3 Authentication

Tool	Description
web3_challenge	Get a SIWE challenge message for a wallet address
web3_signup	Create a free-tier account and API key with a signed SIWE message
web3_list_keys	List all API keys for a wallet
web3_revoke_key	Revoke a specific API key
web3_subscribe	Subscribe to a paid tier (build/pro) via x402 USDC payment on Base

Free-tier flow: web3_challenge (get SIWE message) → sign with personal_sign (EIP-191) → web3_signup (submit signature) → receive API key.

Paid-tier flow (x402): web3_subscribe with tier → returns 402 with pricing → sign USDC transfer (EIP-3009 on Base) → web3_subscribe again with payment_signature → receive API key + subscription.

Pricing Tiers

Some endpoints require a paid plan. The server returns clear error messages with upgrade guidance when tier limits are hit.

Tier	Price	Access
Free	$0/mo	BTC-only historical data
Build	$49/mo	All coins, REST API, 25 WS subs
Pro	$199/mo	Full orderbook depth, 100 WS subs
Enterprise	Custom	Tick data, 200 WS subs

Upgrade at 0xarchive.io/pricing.

Tool Annotations

All 111 tools carry MCP annotations so clients can reason about safety and retry behavior.

Market data tools (106):

Annotation	Value	Meaning
readOnlyHint	true	Tools never modify data
destructiveHint	false	No destructive side effects
idempotentHint	true	Safe to retry on failure
openWorldHint	true	Queries an external API

Web3 tools (5): readOnlyHint: false, idempotentHint: false. These create accounts, keys, and subscriptions.

All tools also declare an outputSchema so clients can validate structured responses.

Smart Defaults

• Time range: Defaults to last 24 hours if not specified
• Limit: Defaults to 100 records
• Interval: Defaults to 1h for candles
• Pagination: Returns cursor for next page when more data available
• Timestamps: Accepts both Unix milliseconds and ISO 8601 strings

Data Catalog

For large-scale data exports (full order books, complete trade history, etc.), use the Data Catalog. It lets you choose markets, datasets, and date ranges, see a live quote, and export zstd-compressed Parquet. MCP tools are best for typed point queries and moderate data pulls; the Data Catalog is the file-export path.
