Overview

What is MCP Bybit API Interface?

MCP Bybit API Interface is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides a convenient interface to the Bybit V5 API. It allows users to fetch market data, manage account information, and place or cancel orders through MCP tools. The server is intended for developers and traders who want to interact with Bybit programmatically via AI assistants or custom workflows.

How to use MCP Bybit API Interface?

Clone the repository, install dependencies with uv sync, and run mcp-bybit-server over stdio. Configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) by adding the server definition to its settings file with environment variables for your Bybit API credentials, testnet flag, and trading enablement. The server can also be run via Docker. Trading tools are disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled with TRADING_ENABLED=true.

What is the default order size limit?

MAX_ORDER_SIZE_USDT defaults to 100 USDT. This caps the estimated notional value of a single order to guard against accidental large trades.

Does the server support the Bybit testnet?

Yes. Set TESTNET=true in the environment variables to use the Bybit testnet. Combine with TRADING_ENABLED=false for a fully read‑only test setup.

What API key permissions are needed?

Reading market data requires Read permission. Placing trades requires Trade permission. Checking wallet balances requires Wallet permission. IP restrictions are recommended.

What transport does the server use?

The server communicates over stdio. It is designed to be run as a subprocess by an MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) via the command line or Docker.
