Copy this message into a Claude chat. The AI checks your computer, tells you which file it will change, and waits for your OK every time.

Please install the MCP server Defillama MCP for Claude on this computer, in this order: 1) Check Node.js with node -v. If it is missing, tell me to install it from https://nodejs.org/en/download; do not install it yourself. 2) Use only this config (already checked by PopNx MCP): { "mcpServers": { "defillama": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "defillama-mcp" ] } } } 3) Tell me the full path of the file you will change, or the command you will run, and wait for my OK. 4) No key is needed. 5) Do what we agreed, then check that the Defillama MCP tools really show up.

Common questions

Is Defillama MCP safe?

It passed 3 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

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 5 months ago, and the latest version (1.0.2) reached the registry 5 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

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

What can I use instead?

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

DefiLlama MCP

An MCP server that gives Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent live DeFi data from [DefiLlama](https://defillama.com) — 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

Tool	What it does
`get_chains_tvl`	TVL across all blockchains, ranked
`search_protocols`	Search protocols by name / symbol / category, ranked by TVL
`get_protocol`	TVL, 1d/7d change, chains, category for one protocol
`get_token_prices`	Current USD price for one or more tokens (DefiLlama coin ids)
`get_yield_pools`	Top yield pools by APY, filter by chain / project / min TVL
`get_stablecoins`	Largest stablecoins by circulating supply + peg type

Install

No install needed. It runs straight from npm via npx.

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.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

get_token_prices uses DefiLlama coin ids, comma-separated:

By CoinGecko id: coingecko:bitcoin, coingecko:ethereum
By contract: chain:0xcontract, e.g. ethereum:0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2 (WETH)
