Common questions

Is Hummingbot MCP safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: HUMMINGBOT_USERNAME, HUMMINGBOT_PASSWORD

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 8 months ago, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 13 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

MCP Hummingbot Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables Claude and Gemini CLI to interact with Hummingbot for automated cryptocurrency trading across multiple exchanges.

Installation & Configuration

Option 1: Using uv (Recommended for Development)
  1. Install uv (if not already installed):
   curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
  1. Clone and install dependencies:
   git clone https://github.com/hummingbot/mcp

cd mcp uv sync

  1. Create a .env file:
   cp .env.example .env
  1. Edit the .env file with your Hummingbot API credentials:
   HUMMINGBOT_API_URL=http://localhost:8000

HUMMINGBOT_USERNAME=admin HUMMINGBOT_PASSWORD=admin

  1. Configure in Claude Code or Gemini CLI:
   {

"mcpServers": { "hummingbot-mcp": { "type": "stdio", "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/path/to/mcp", "run", "main.py" ] } } }

   

Note: Make sure to replace /path/to/mcp with the actual path to your MCP directory.

Option 2: Using Docker (Recommended for Production)
  1. Create a .env file:
   touch .env
  1. Edit the .env file with your Hummingbot API credentials:
   HUMMINGBOT_API_URL=http://localhost:8000

HUMMINGBOT_USERNAME=admin HUMMINGBOT_PASSWORD=admin

Important: When running the MCP server in Docker and connecting to a Hummingbot API on your host:

  • Linux: Use --network host (see below) to allow the container to access localhost:8000
  • Mac/Windows: Change HUMMINGBOT_API_URL to http://host.docker.internal:8000
  1. Pull the Docker image:
   docker pull hummingbot/hummingbot-mcp:latest
  1. Configure in Claude Code or Gemini CLI:

For Linux (using --network host):

   {

"mcpServers": { "hummingbot-mcp": { "type": "stdio", "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "--rm", "-i", "--network", "host", "--env-file", "/path/to/mcp/.env", "-v", "$HOME/.hummingbot_mcp:/root/.hummingbot_mcp", "hummingbot/hummingbot-mcp:latest" ] } } }

For Mac/Windows:

   {

"mcpServers": { "hummingbot-mcp": { "type": "stdio", "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "--rm", "-i", "--env-file", "/path/to/mcp/.env", "-v", "$HOME/.hummingbot_mcp:/root/.hummingbot_mcp", "hummingbot/hummingbot-mcp:latest" ] } } }

   (Remember to set `HUMMINGBOT_API_URL=http://host.docker.internal:8000` in your `.env` file)

Note: Replace hummingbot-mcp with your actual container name. You can find the container name by running:

   docker ps

Server Configuration

On first run, the server creates a default configuration from environment variables (or uses http://localhost:8000 with default credentials). Configuration is stored in ~/.hummingbot_mcp/server.yml.

Using the configure_server Tool
# Show the current server configuration

configure_server()

Update the host and port

configure_server(host="192.168.1.100", port=8001)

Update credentials

configure_server(username="admin", password="secure_password")

Update everything at once

configure_server( name="production", host="prod-server", port=8000, username="admin", password="secure_password" )

Only the provided parameters are changed; omitted ones keep their current values. The client automatically reconnects after any update.

Environment Variables

The following environment variables can be set in your .env file for the MCP server:

VariableDefaultDescription
HUMMINGBOT_API_URLhttp://localhost:8000Initial default API server URL (used only on first run)
HUMMINGBOT_USERNAMEadminInitial username (used only on first run)
HUMMINGBOT_PASSWORDadminInitial password (used only on first run)
HUMMINGBOT_TIMEOUT30.0Connection timeout in seconds
HUMMINGBOT_MAX_RETRIES3Maximum number of retry attempts
HUMMINGBOT_RETRY_DELAY2.0Delay between retries in seconds
HUMMINGBOT_LOG_LEVELINFOLogging level (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL)

Note: After initial setup, use the configure_server tool to update the server connection. Environment variables are only used to create the initial default configuration.

Requirements

  • Python 3.11+
  • Running Hummingbot API server
  • Valid Hummingbot API credentials

Available Tools

The MCP server provides tools for:

Server Management
  • configure_server: View or update the active Hummingbot API server connection
  • No parameters: show current server config
  • Any parameters: update and reconnect
  • Configuration persists in ~/.hummingbot_mcp/server.yml
Trading & Account Management
  • Account management and connector setup
  • Portfolio balances and distribution
  • Order placement and management
  • Position management
  • Market data (prices, order books, candles)
  • Funding rates
  • Bot deployment and management
  • Controller configuration

Development

To run the server in development mode:

uv run main.py

To run tests:

uv run pytest

Troubleshooting

The MCP server now provides comprehensive error messages to help diagnose connection and authentication issues:

Connection Errors

If you see error messages like:

  • ❌ Cannot reach Hummingbot API at - The API server is not running or not accessible
  • ❌ Authentication failed when connecting to Hummingbot API - Incorrect username or password
  • ❌ Failed to connect to Hummingbot API - Generic connection failure

The error messages will include:

  • The exact URL being used
  • Your configured username (password is masked)
  • Specific suggestions on how to fix the issue
  • References to tools like configure_server
Common Solutions
  1. API Not Running:
  • Ensure your Hummingbot API server is running
  • Verify the API is accessible at the configured URL
  1. Wrong Credentials:
  • Use configure_server tool to update server credentials
  • Or check your .env file configuration
  1. Wrong URL:
  • Use configure_server tool to update the server URL
  • For Docker on Mac/Windows, use host.docker.internal instead of localhost
  1. Docker Network Issues:
  • On Linux, use --network host in your Docker configuration
  • On Mac/Windows, use host.docker.internal:8000 as the API URL
Error Prevention

The MCP server will:

  • Not retry on authentication failures (401 errors) - it will immediately tell you the credentials are wrong
  • Retry on connection failures with helpful messages about what might be wrong
  • Provide context about whether you're running in Docker and suggest appropriate fixes
  • Guide you to the right tools (configure_server) to fix issues
