# DefiLlama Skills

Agent skills for [DefiLlama MCP](https://mcp.defillama.com) — 23 DeFi analytics tools with guided workflows.

## Quick Install

Paste this prompt into your AI agent:

```
Read https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DefiLlama/defillama-skills/master/defillama-setup/SKILL.md and follow the instructions to install DefiLlama MCP.
```

## Manual Setup

### 1. Add the MCP server

**Claude.ai (web):**
Go to Customize → Connectors → + → Add custom connector. Name: `DefiLlama`, URL: `https://mcp.defillama.com/mcp`. Click Add and log in.

**Claude Code:**
```bash
claude mcp add defillama --transport http https://mcp.defillama.com/mcp
```

**Codex:**
```bash
codex mcp add defillama --url https://mcp.defillama.com/mcp
```

**Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf:**
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "defillama": {
      "url": "https://mcp.defillama.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

**Gemini CLI:**
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "defillama": {
      "httpUrl": "https://mcp.defillama.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

**OpenCode:**
```json
{
  "mcp": {
    "defillama": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://mcp.defillama.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

**OpenClaw and other stdio-only agents** (uses `mcp-remote` as a bridge):
```json
{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "defillama": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.defillama.com/mcp"]
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### 2. Log in

Requires an [active API subscription](https://defillama.com/subscribe).

**Claude Code:** Run `/mcp`, navigate to the DefiLlama server, press Enter, and select "Authenticate".

**Desktop agents (Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop):** On first connection your browser opens the DefiLlama login page. Sign in and you're done.

**Headless agents (OpenClaw):** `mcp-remote` outputs an OAuth URL. Open it on your phone/computer, log in, then copy the `localhost:...` URL from your browser address bar after redirect and send it back to the agent.

No API keys, no env vars. Just log in once.

### 3. Install skills

```bash
npx skills add DefiLlama/defillama-skills --yes
```
