Open-source Model Context Protocol server with live markets, wallet analytics, liquidation maps, and guarded trading through non-custodial session keys.

https://papertrade-ai.ninabrekkerese.workers.dev/mcp
One URL, OAuth 2.1, no API keys. Your wallet signs once to register a session key that can trade but cannot withdraw, and the server enforces the limits you choose: margin per trade, leverage, daily size, open positions and markets. Every trade is previewed and needs your confirmation.
What you can ask
- "What are BTC and ETH doing on Papertrade right now?"
- "Show me the Papertrade liquidation map for ETH."
- "Who are the top 10 Papertrade traders this week? What are they holding?"
- "Analyze wallet 0x...: win rate, biggest trade, equity curve."
- "If I long BTC with $20 at 500x, where is my liquidation price?"
- "Preview a $15 ETH short at 800x, then open it if I confirm."
- "Close all my BTC positions."
On clients with MCP Apps support (Claude, ChatGPT, VS Code, Goose) results render as an interactive trading card with a live chart.

Security
- Non-custodial. Your wallet signs one EIP-712
RegisterSessionKey message, the same one the official Papertrade app signs for one-click trading. The session key is scoped by the exchange contract to open, close and cancel. It cannot withdraw or transfer.
- Guardrails in code, not in the prompt. Margin per trade, leverage, rolling 24h position size, open positions and markets are checked on the server before any intent is signed.
- Preview, then confirm.
open_position needs a signed quote from preview_trade for the identical trade, valid for 3 minutes.
- Encrypted per app. Each app's session key is encrypted with a key derived from that app's own access token.
- Revoke in one click at /account.

Risk
Papertrade positions use real USDC. At 1000x leverage a 0.1% move against you liquidates the position and the full margin is lost. Papertrade AI is independent open-source software, not affiliated with Papertrade, and not financial advice.
