Funding Rates MCP server
by kukapay
Ask your AI to compare crypto funding rates across Binance, OKX, Bybit and more, in one table.
This is a small helper that lets your AI look up funding rates for crypto trading pairs on several big exchanges at once. Funding rates are the small fees traders pay each other on certain crypto trades, and they differ from exchange to exchange. If you follow crypto markets even a little, this saves you from opening six websites and writing numbers down.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI one new skill. This helper connects your AI to live funding rate data from crypto exchanges like Binance, OKX, Bybit, Bitget, Gate and CoinEx. Once it is connected, you just ask in plain words and the AI fetches the numbers for you.
What this MCP server does
You ask your AI something like compare funding rates for Bitcoin and Ethereum across all exchanges. The AI passes your request to this helper. The helper then contacts each exchange and collects the current funding rate for each trading pair you named. It lines everything up in a table with one row per coin and one column per exchange. It also adds a Divergence column that shows the biggest gap between exchanges for that coin, which is handy if you are curious about arbitrage.

Try asking your AI
- “Compare funding rates for BTC/USDT:USDT and ETH/USDT:USDT across all exchanges.”
- “Compare funding rates for SOL/USDT:USDT on Binance, OKX, and Bybit.”
- “Show me the funding rates for BTC/USDT:USDT, ETH/USDT:USDT and SOL/USDT:USDT on Bitget and Gate.”
- “What is the funding rate divergence for ETH/USDT:USDT right now?”
What it gives back to you
You get back a small table in the chat. Each row is a trading pair like BTC/USDT:USDT, each column is an exchange, and the cells show the current funding rate as a percentage. There is also a Divergence column showing the largest difference between exchanges for that pair. Nothing is changed anywhere; it is just a read-only snapshot.
