description: Kraken ships an official MCP server embedded in the Kraken CLI (krakenfx/kraken-cli). Running
  `kraken mcp` starts a Model Context Protocol server over stdio that exposes 151 tools across the Spot,
  Futures, and Earn surfaces, letting LLM agents (Claude, Cursor, Gemini) drive Kraken accounts by tool-calling
  without writing a custom HTTP client. Authentication uses the same API-key credentials as the CLI (KRAKEN_API_KEY
  / KRAKEN_API_SECRET and the futures pair). A separate community FastMCP server (oilst/kraken-mcp) also
  exists. There is no Kraken-hosted remote (HTTP) MCP endpoint; the official server is local/stdio via
  the CLI.

  official: false
notes: The Kraken CLI's 151 MCP tools map onto the same operations catalogued in openapi/kraken-spot-rest-openapi.yml
  and openapi/kraken-futures-rest-openapi.yml; each CLI command group above corresponds to a cluster of
  MCP tools.
