Summary
Pulls live DeFi data from DefiLlama's public API with no key required. You get six tools covering chain and protocol TVL rankings, token prices by CoinGecko ID or contract address, yield pool APYs with filtering, and stablecoin supply metrics. Built for agents that need to answer questions like "What's Aave's TVL this week?" or "Show me the highest APY stablecoin pools on Ethereum above $10M TVL." Ships with tests and error handling instead of breaking on the second call. Runs via npx with no installation. Useful when you're building financial analysis workflows or need real-time DeFi metrics without managing API credentials.
Fastest browser for AI agents to run web automation tasks, always free.

DefiLlama MCP
An MCP server that gives Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent live DeFi data from DefiLlama — 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.
