📈 Upbit MCP Server

📖 Overview

Fast MCP server for interacting with Upbit, South Korea's largest cryptocurrency exchange. This server provides comprehensive access to public market data and optional private trading tools including order management, deposits, and withdrawals.

✨ Features

• Public Market Data: Access real-time ticker data, orderbook snapshots, and recent trades for any Upbit market.
• Account Management: View account balances and positions (requires API key).
• Order Management: Create, query, and cancel orders with support for limit, market, and price order types.
• Deposit Operations: Check deposit eligibility, create deposit addresses, and track deposit history.
• Withdrawal Operations: Create withdrawals, manage withdrawal addresses, and track withdrawal history.
