# perp-cli
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/perp-cli)

[](https://github.com/hypurrquant/perp-cli/blob/main/LICENSE)
Multi-DEX perpetual futures CLI — **Pacifica** (Solana), **Hyperliquid** (HyperEVM), **Lighter** (Ethereum).
```bash
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
- **Safety** — pre-trade validation, response sanitization, client-id deduplication
## Setup
```bash
# Set exchange keys
perp wallet set hl <EVM_KEY> # Hyperliquid
perp wallet set pac <SOLANA_KEY> # Pacifica
perp wallet set lt <EVM_KEY> # Lighter (API key auto-generated)
# Verify
perp wallet show
```
Same EVM key works for both Hyperliquid and Lighter.
> **Lighter API Key Index:** Indexes 0–3 are reserved by Lighter's frontend (web/mobile). perp-cli defaults to index `4`. Override with `LIGHTER_API_KEY_INDEX` env var or `--key-index` flag on `manage setup-api-key`. Valid range: 4–254.

## Telegram Alerts
Funding rate alerts via Telegram with background daemon support.
```bash
# 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
[](https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/hypurrquant/perp-cli)
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.
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"perp-cli": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "-p", "perp-cli", "perp-mcp"]
}
}
}
```
Optional: add keys for trading and account data:
```json
{
"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.:
```bash
# 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`](skills/perp-cli/SKILL.md) for the full agent guide.
## Agent-First CLI Design
Built following [agent-first CLI principles](https://justin.poehnelt.com/posts/rewrite-your-cli-for-ai-agents/):
```bash
# 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`.
