xt-tradekit

XT.COM AI TradeKit — native Node MCP server. Gives AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP client) direct access to the XT.COM exchange: spot & USDT-M perpetual trading, market data, aggregated derivatives/sentiment/on-chain data, and news — with no Python required.

Install

npm i -g xt-tradekit

Register with Claude Code:

claude mcp add xt-tradekit -- xt-tradekit

Or run zero-install (always latest):

claude mcp add xt-tradekit -- npx -y xt-tradekit

Restart your session to activate. Market data / analysis / news work out of the box (no key needed).

API key (trading only)

Credentials are read from environment variables or a local file — never from the AI conversation.

• Environment: XT_ACCESS_KEY / XT_SECRET_KEY
• File (mode 600): ~/.xt-tradekit/credentials.json (legacy ~/.xt-exchange/credentials.json is also supported)

{ "access_key": "…", "secret_key": "…" }

Least privilege: enable only Read + Trade; do not enable Withdraw for AI-agent trading; bind an IP allowlist. Never paste your keys into an AI chat — the assistant checks status via xt_credentials_status (masked only). If a key is ever exposed, rotate it.

Tools (39)

| Group | Tools | |-------|-------| | Spot market | ticker · top movers · depth · klines · symbol info | | Futures market | ticker · depth · klines · funding rate (current+history) · contract info | | Aggregated data | open interest · long/short ratio · taker volume · liquidations · fear & greed · global overview · coin profile · token security · sentiment snapshot | | News | XT announcements (10 locales) · announcement search · aggregated crypto news | | Spot trading | balances · open orders · history · place · cancel · cancel-all | | Futures trading | account · positions · orders · place · cancel · history | | Assets | transfer · withdraw · deposit/withdraw chains | | Credentials | status (masked) |

Safety

• Keys never enter the conversation — read only inside the server process for HMAC request signing; never returned, logged, or included in errors.
• Mandatory confirmation — place/cancel order, transfer and withdraw tools require showing parameters to the user first; withdrawals require a second confirmation (irreversible).
• Read-only mode — XT_TRADEKIT_READONLY=1 disables all write operations at the server level.
• Minimal dependencies — only @modelcontextprotocol/sdk and zod; native fetch/crypto/fs, no postinstall scripts.
