Package Exports

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (perp-cli) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

perp-cli

Multi-DEX perpetual futures CLI — Pacifica (Solana), Hyperliquid (HyperEVM), Lighter (Ethereum).

npm install -g perp-cli       # global install
perp --json portfolio

# Or without global install (restricted environments)
npx -y perp-cli --json portfolio

Features

3 Exchanges — trade, bridge, arbitrage across Pacifica, Hyperliquid, Lighter
Funding Rate Arb — perp-perp + spot-perp scan & one-command dual-leg execution
Portfolio — single call returns balances, positions, risk level across all exchanges
Funds — deposit, withdraw, CCTP bridge, internal transfer in one group
Bots — TWAP, grid, DCA, trailing-stop with background job management
Agent-First Design — --json, --fields, --ndjson, --dry-run, runtime schema introspection

Telegram Alerts

Funding rate alerts via Telegram with background daemon support.

# Interactive setup (BotFather token + chat ID auto-detection)
perp alerts setup

# Add alert rules
perp alerts add ETH 30              # alert when ETH funding > 30% annualized
perp alerts add --all 50            # alert for any symbol > 50%

# Test & manage
perp alerts test                    # send test message
perp alerts list                    # show active rules

# Run daemon
perp alerts start                   # foreground
perp alerts start --background      # tmux background daemon
perp alerts stop                    # stop background daemon

Setup flow: BotFather token → bot validation → send /start to bot → auto-detect chat ID → test message.

Exchange flag: -e hyperliquid / -e pacifica / -e lighter (aliases: hl, pac, lt).

Global flags: --json, --fields <f>, --ndjson, --dry-run, --dex <name> (HIP-3), -w, --wallet <name>.

MCP Server

perp-cli includes a full-featured MCP server (18 tools, 3 resources, 2 prompts) for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP clients.

No API keys required for market data — explore prices, orderbooks, funding rates, and arb opportunities without any setup. Add keys only when you want to trade.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "perp-cli": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "-p", "perp-cli", "perp-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Optional: add keys for trading and account data:

{
  "env": {
    "HYPERLIQUID_PRIVATE_KEY": "your-evm-key",
    "PACIFICA_PRIVATE_KEY": "your-solana-key"
  }
}

Read-only tools (no keys): get_markets, get_orderbook, get_funding_rates, get_prices, arb_scan, health_check

Account & trading tools (keys required): get_balance, get_positions, portfolio, trade_preview, trade_execute, trade_close, get_funding_analysis, get_pnl_analysis, get_arb_compare

Resources: market://prices, market://funding-rates, perp://schema

Prompts: trading-guide, arb-strategy

AI Agent Skill

Install as a skill for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, etc.:

# Using npx (recommended)
npx skills add hypurrquant/perp-cli

# Or via Claude Code slash command
/install-skill hypurrquant/perp-cli

See skills/perp-cli/SKILL.md for the full agent guide.

Agent-First CLI Design

Built following agent-first CLI principles:

# Every command returns structured JSON envelope
perp --json portfolio
# → { "ok": true, "data": {...}, "meta": { "timestamp": "..." } }

# Runtime schema introspection (don't guess commands — query this)
perp --json agent schema

# Filter output to specific fields (saves tokens)
perp --json --fields totalEquity,risk portfolio

# Stream large lists as NDJSON (one JSON per line)
perp --json --ndjson -e hl market list

# Pre-validate before executing
perp --json -e hl trade check BTC buy 0.01
perp --json --dry-run -e hl trade market BTC buy 0.01

# Idempotent orders with client ID
perp --json -e hl trade market BTC buy 0.01 --client-id my-unique-id

All responses are auto-sanitized (control chars stripped, prompt injection patterns blocked). Errors include retryable flag — only retry when true.
