Today is the operative word: we check PerpFinder every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 5

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

venue

get_venue_access

For one jurisdiction, what each venue and the local regulator publish about perp access: yes, restricted, unclear or no, with the basis and the sources a person opened. Not legal advice.

get_venue_fees

Base maker and taker rates, the volume fee ladder, leverage and funding terms of one perp venue, each with its source and check date, plus the measured all-in cost of BTC and ETH market buys.

cheapest

get_cheapest_venue

Venues ranked by measured all-in cost (taker fee + half-spread + price impact) of a perp market buy at the base fee tier, from the newest stored 6-hour order-book sweep. Rows that cannot fill or have unconfirmed depth are listed apart, with the reason.

funding

get_funding

Current perpetual funding rate of one asset on each venue that lists it, normalized to a 1-hour rate, with the venue interval, open interest and price. Rates are fractions: 0.0001 is 0.01%.

volume

get_volume_ranking

CEX and DEX perpetual venues ranked by reported volume and by adjusted volume. Adjusted is the reported figure with held-out venues removed; each hold-out has a dated reason. Measurements, not accusations.

PerpFinder — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can PerpFinder do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_cheapest_venue, get_funding, get_venue_access, get_venue_fees, get_volume_ranking. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is PerpFinder working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 145 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect PerpFinder?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does PerpFinder need an API key?

No. PerpFinder completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is PerpFinder?

It answers our handshake in 145 ms on average, which is faster than 90% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
