Lighter MCP gives an agent 17 trading and diagnostic tools for Lighter's zero-fee perpetual DEX (~190 markets), including order placement, position management, and stop-loss/take-profit. It implements a three-tier credential system (public/read/trade) and server-side safety caps, with on-chain approval expiry defaulting to 90 days — built for agent-safe execution rather than unrestricted key access.

Runtime: Python (pip package)
pip install 0xdegenmo-lighter-mcp
pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/elliottech/lighter-python.git@main
{"mcpServers":{"lighter":{"command":"python","args":["-m","lighter_mcp"]}}}You supply: LIGHTER_URL (TRADE mode — mainnet endpoint), LIGHTER_ACCOUNT_INDEX (TRADE mode — sub-account index), LIGHTER_PRIVATE_KEY (TRADE mode — API-key private key; docs say sub-account, not main wallet. Risk: private key material in MCP config), LIGHTER_API_KEY_INDEX (default 2), LIGHTER_MAX_QUOTE_USD (trade size cap)
MCP invocation: python -m lighter_mcp (stdio); PUBLIC mode needs no env, TRADE mode needs the LIGHTER_* block

This is the share of our daily checks that succeeded — not an availability guarantee. A check can fail because the host was down, because our runner timed out, or because the network in between dropped it, and only the first of those is a fact about this project. Failures are split by what we can attribute; anything we cannot attribute is counted, not hidden. 40 of these checks predate 2026-09-01, when the probe counted a bot-block (HTTP 403) as a failure and recorded no reason for any failure. Every one of them passed, so the rate covers them too.
Last 30 days — to 2026-10-21, one point per UTC day
A gap is a day we have no attributable observation — never a zero. Thirty points is the whole shape the free layer carries; the daily rows behind it stay in the snapshot series.
