Defillama tools (6)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
get_chains_tvlTotal Value Locked (TVL) across all blockchains, ranked highest first. Shows which chains hold the most DeFi capital.
get_protocolGet current TVL, 1d/7d change, chains, and category for a single DeFi protocol by name (e.g. 'Aave', 'Uniswap', 'Lido').
get_stablecoinsLargest stablecoins by circulating supply, with peg type (fiat-backed, crypto-backed, algorithmic).
get_token_pricesCurrent USD price for one or more tokens. Use DefiLlama coin ids, comma-separated: 'coingecko:bitcoin,coingecko:ethereum' or 'chain:0xcontract' (e.g. 'ethereum:0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2').
get_yield_poolsTop DeFi yield / farming pools by APY. Optionally filter by chain (e.g. 'Ethereum'), project (e.g. 'aave'), and minimum TVL in USD to avoid tiny risky pools.
search_protocolsSearch DeFi protocols by name, token symbol, or category (e.g. 'lending', 'dexes', 'aave'), ranked by TVL. Leave query empty for the top protocols overall.

What its tools let an agent do: 6 read
Install Defillama in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y defillama-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

What the publisher says

DefiLlama MCP
An MCP server that gives Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent live DeFi data from DefiLlama — chain and protocol TVL, token prices, yield/farming pools, and stablecoin supply.
No API key. No signup. The public DefiLlama API is free.
Most "MCP for X" repos are half-finished and break on the second request. This one ships
with tests and graceful error handling so an agent can actually rely on it.
What your agent can do
Ask things like:
- "Which chains have the most TVL right now?"
- "What's Aave's TVL and how did it move this week?"
- "Find the highest-APY stablecoin pools on Ethereum with at least $10M TVL."
- "Price of BTC and ETH?" (coingecko:bitcoin,coingecko:ethereum)
- "List the biggest stablecoins by circulating supply."
Tools
Install
No install needed. It runs straight from npm via npx.
Claude Desktop
Add to claudedesktopconfig.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"defillama": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "defillama-mcp"]
}
}
}Cursor
Add to .cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"defillama": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "defillama-mcp"]
}
}
}Restart the client and the defillama tools appear.
Coin ids for prices
gettokenprices uses DefiLlama coin ids, comma-separated:
- By CoinGecko id: coingecko:bitcoin, coingecko:ethereum
- By contract: chain:0xcontract, e.g. ethereum:0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2 (WETH)
