Swiftedge order flow: free MCP server and API

Free, live order flow data for AI assistants and your own code: order book depth and walls, candles with buy/sell volume and CVD, large trades, real liquidations, an estimated liquidation map, funding, open interest and key price levels for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, gold, silver, the US 500, the US 100 and WTI crude oil.

• MCP server: https://swiftedge.uk/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no key, no account)
• REST API: https://swiftedge.uk/api/v1/... (JSON, no key, no account)
• OpenAPI 3.1: /api/v1/openapi.json (also works as a ChatGPT GPT action)
• Docs: swiftedge.uk/developers
• Listed in the official MCP Registry as uk.swiftedge/orderflow

The same numbers are drawn live in Swiftedge Depth, a free order book heatmap with every trade, a footprint chart and 30+ indicators in the browser.

Every market trades 24/7 on Swiftedge. Each one has a free live order book heatmap and a levels page that is updated all day. The sessions pages show when the underlying market opens, closes and releases data, in your own time zone.

Connect it to your AI app

Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, and paste https://swiftedge.uk/mcp.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http swiftedge https://swiftedge.uk/mcp

Cursor and other clients with an mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "swiftedge": { "url": "https://swiftedge.uk/mcp" }
  }
}

ChatGPT: import openapi.json as a GPT action.

Then ask, for example:

• "Where are the biggest bid walls on gold right now?"
• "Show me Bitcoin's CVD on the 4-hour chart."
• "Where would longs on Solana get liquidated?"
• "How much does CPI usually move gold in the first hour?"

Use the REST API

curl "https://swiftedge.uk/api/v1/snapshot?market=btc&src=github"
curl "https://swiftedge.uk/api/v1/key-levels?market=gold&src=github"

Python (examples/snapshot.py) and JavaScript (examples/snapshot.mjs) examples print the order book walls and key levels for any market. examples/mcp_call.sh talks to the MCP server with plain curl.

Good to know

• Free, no key. Please link to swiftedge.uk when you show the data, for example under a chart or in a bot's reply.
• Freshness. A snapshot is at most about 15 seconds old, the order book about 10 seconds and the liquidation map about 5 minutes. Responses are cached for 15 seconds, so polling faster returns the same numbers.
• Fair use. The same limit as the rest of the site.
• What the numbers are. Swiftedge's own calculations on public perpetual futures order books and trades. Positioning levels and the liquidation map are estimates, not measurements and not a forecast. The data is descriptive and places no orders.
• Live chart. For tick-by-tick data, open the live heatmap. You can also paper trade on the live order book and join the free Order Flow Cup.
