Common questions

Perps MCP: what it is and how to connect.

What is the OptimistFi perps MCP connector?

OptimistFi connects an AI assistant to perpetual futures research: funding, open interest, prices, order-book depth, liquidations and Hyperliquid account positioning. It covers crypto, stock, index, commodity and FX perps. Each response identifies its sources, timestamps and coverage.

How do I connect OptimistFi to Claude?

Open OptimistFi in Claude’s connectors directory and connect it, or add https://mcp.optimistfi.com/mcp as a custom remote MCP connector. The public research tools require no API key or sign-up.

Does the connector execute trades or need my private key?

The public MCP tools are read-only. They do not place orders, sign transactions or require a private key. Private exchange accounts and notification delivery require separate authenticated services.

Also included

US stock research when you need the underlying company.
