Turn Claude into Your DeFi Research Assistant

Stop jumping between DeFiLlama tabs and spreadsheets to analyze yield opportunities. This MCP server connects Claude directly to live DeFi data, so you can research yields, compare protocols, and analyze trends through natural conversation.

The DeFi Research Problem You Know Too Well

You're building DeFi strategies or researching yield opportunities, but the process is painful:

• Manually checking DefiLlama for each protocol
• Copy-pasting data between tools to compare APYs
• Losing context when switching between multiple browser tabs
• Missing opportunities because manual research takes too long

What This MCP Server Does

Transforms Claude into a DeFi data analyst that can instantly pull yield data from DefiLlama and provide contextual analysis. Ask questions like "What are the best Ethereum staking yields above 5% APY?" and get structured data with analysis in seconds.

Core capabilities:

• Real-time yield data: Pull current APY, TVL, and performance metrics for any protocol
• Smart filtering: Query by chain (Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum) or specific projects (Lido, Aave, Curve)
• Trend analysis: Access 30-day mean APYs and yield predictions with confidence scores
• Contextual insights: Built-in prompts that guide Claude to analyze risk factors, stability patterns, and opportunity rankings

Practical Applications

For DeFi Developers:

• Quickly research yield sources for your protocol integrations
• Compare TVL and APY trends across potential partners
• Validate yield assumptions during smart contract development

For Yield Farmers:

• Analyze risk-adjusted returns across multiple chains
• Spot emerging opportunities before they get overcrowded
• Track performance trends for your existing positions

For DeFi Researchers:

• Generate comparative analyses of protocol performance
• Identify correlation patterns between different yield sources
• Create data-driven content with live, sourced information

Example Workflow

Instead of this manual process:

1. Open DefiLlama
2. Navigate to yields page
3. Filter by protocol
4. Export or copy data
5. Open spreadsheet
6. Calculate comparisons
7. Write analysis

You do this:

"Compare Lido staking yields across Ethereum and Solana, 
focusing on 30-day trends and TVL stability"

Claude responds with structured data, trend analysis, and actionable insights in one response.

Setup

Dead simple installation with Claude Desktop:

uvx mcp install -m defi_yields_mcp --name "DeFi Yields Server"

Or manual configuration in your Claude Desktop config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "defi-yields-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["defi-yields-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop, and you're analyzing DeFi yields through conversation.

Why This Approach Works

Traditional DeFi research tools force you to context-switch between data collection and analysis. This MCP server keeps you in the analysis flow by making Claude your research interface. You stay focused on insights rather than data wrangling.

The built-in analysis prompts ensure Claude considers key DeFi metrics like TVL trends, yield sustainability, and risk factors - knowledge that would otherwise require manual prompting each time.

Perfect for developers who need DeFi data integrated into their AI workflow without building custom integrations or API clients.
