Pyth Pro MCP Server

MCP server that gives AI assistants access to real-time and historical market data from Pyth — 500+ price feeds across crypto, equities, FX, commodities, and more.

Hosted at https://mcp.pyth.network/mcp

    }
  }

Tools

Tool	Description	Auth Required
get_symbols	Search and list available price feeds	No
get_latest_price	Real-time prices for one or more feeds	Yes (access token)
get_historical_price	Point-in-time price snapshots	No
get_candlestick_data	OHLC candlestick bars for charting and analysis	No

Tip: Use get_symbols first to discover available feeds before calling other tools.

Access Token

An access token is only required for get_latest_price. All other tools work without one.

• Get a token at pyth.network/pricing
• The token is passed as a tool parameter — your AI assistant will ask for it when needed

Example Queries

Try these with any connected AI assistant:

• "What's the current price of Bitcoin?"
• "Show me the ETH/USD price history for the last 24 hours"
• "Compare the prices of gold and silver right now"
• "Get daily candlestick data for AAPL over the past week"
• "What crypto price feeds are available on Pyth?"

Local Development

For contributors working on the MCP server itself.
