## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-06.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 100/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 97/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to pipeworx-io/mcp-defillama).
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 4 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 73/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1180 tokens (~131/item across 9 items; 9 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.

## MCP tools (9)

### `defi_tvl_protocols` (~87 tokens)

Search DeFi protocols by name or category to compare their total value locked. Returns protocol name, TVL amount, blockchain, and category.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Filter by category (e.g., "DEXes", "Lending", "Bridge", "CDP", "Yield")
- `search` (string): Filter protocols by name (case-insensitive substring match)

### `defi_protocol_detail` (~61 tokens)

Get detailed metrics for a specific DeFi protocol including TVL history over time, breakdown by blockchain, and token information.

Input parameters:

- `protocol` (string, required): Protocol slug (e.g., "aave", "uniswap", "lido", "makerdao")

### `defi_chain_tvl` (~31 tokens)

Compare total value locked across all blockchains. Returns TVL per chain to identify where capital is concentrated.

### `defi_protocol_fees` (~84 tokens)

Check daily fees and revenue for a DeFi protocol. Returns fee trends to analyze profitability and income changes over time.

Input parameters:

- `data_type` (string): Type of data: "dailyFees" or "dailyRevenue" (default: "dailyFees")
- `protocol` (string, required): Protocol slug (e.g., "aave", "uniswap", "lido")

### `defi_revenue_ranking` (~295 tokens)

Rank DeFi protocols by revenue (or fees) over the last 24h, 7d or 30d, with the change versus the prior period. Answers "top DeFi protocols by 30-day revenue" and "which protocols' revenue grew most". Filter by category (e.g. "Dexs", "Lending", "Liquid Staking") and/or chain. Each row: protocol slug, category, chains, revenue for the period, prior-period revenue, percent change, 24h/7d/30d totals and all-time total (USD). Source: DefiLlama, fees and revenue dataset. Pass a returned slug to defi_protocol_fees for the daily series.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Category filter, case-insensitive, e.g. "Lending", "Dexs".
- `chain` (string): Chain filter, case-insensitive, e.g. "Ethereum", "Solana".
- `data_type` (string): Rank by revenue (default) or gross fees.
- `limit` (number): Rows to return, 1-100. Default 20.
- `period` (string): Window to rank on. Default "30d".
- `sort_by` (string): "value" (default) ranks by period revenue; "change" ranks by percent change vs the prior period (protocols with under $10k prior-period revenue excluded).

### `defi_stablecoins` (~32 tokens)

Get stablecoin market cap and distribution across blockchains. Returns supply per chain to track adoption and network preferences.

### `defi_yields` (~106 tokens)

Find yield opportunities across DeFi pools filtered by project name, minimum TVL, or minimum APY. Returns APY, TVL, and project details.

Input parameters:

- `min_apy` (number): Minimum APY percentage (e.g., 5 for 5%)
- `min_tvl` (number): Minimum TVL in USD (e.g., 1000000 for $1M)
- `search` (string): Filter by project name (case-insensitive substring match)

### `defi_token_unlocks` (~280 tokens)

Crypto token UNLOCK calendar from DefiLlama: every scheduled vesting cliff and emission-rate change across ~370 tracked tokens in a date window (e.g. "which token unlocks are scheduled this week", "unlocks over $10M between 2026-10-05 and 2026-10-12"). Returns per event: date, token, tokens unlocked, USD value at the current DefiLlama price (with the price time), share of circulating supply, and the recipients (investors, team, ecosystem…). Default window is today through 7 days out.

Input parameters:

- `from` (string): Window start, YYYY-MM-DD (UTC, inclusive). Default: today.
- `limit` (number): Max events returned, sorted by date then USD value (default 100, max 500).
- `min_usd` (number): Only cliff unlocks worth at least this many USD at the current price (e.g. 1000000). Excludes emission-rate changes, which have no single USD amount.
- `to` (string): Window end, YYYY-MM-DD (UTC, inclusive). Default: from + 7 days.
- `token` (string): Restrict to tokens whose name, symbol or DefiLlama slug contains this text (e.g. "hyperliquid", "ARB").

### `defi_token_emission` (~150 tokens)

One crypto token's full vesting / EMISSION SCHEDULE from DefiLlama (e.g. "Hyperliquid HYPE unlock schedule", "when do Arbitrum team tokens vest"). Returns max supply, allocation by category (insiders, airdrop, staking…) with % unlocked so far, per-recipient unlocked-now vs final amounts, the dated unlock events (past and upcoming, with USD value at the current price), and DefiLlama's methodology notes.

Input parameters:

- `protocol` (string, required): DefiLlama protocol slug or name (e.g. "hyperliquid", "arbitrum", "aptos", "sui"). Unknown names return close matches.

## Common questions

### What is the Defillama MCP server?

Defillama is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pipeworx-io/defillama. DefiLlama MCP, DeFi analytics from DefiLlama (free, no auth). This page covers its npm package (@pipeworx/mcp-defillama).

### Is the Defillama MCP server safe to use?

Defillama scores 84 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 6 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Defillama MCP server expose?

Defillama exposes 9 tools: defi_tvl_protocols, defi_protocol_detail, defi_chain_tvl, defi_protocol_fees, defi_revenue_ranking, and 4 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,126 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Defillama MCP server still maintained?

Defillama is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 6 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the Defillama MCP server under?

Defillama declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Defillama MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on Defillama, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 12 more. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
