AfterFees MCP server

Crypto funding-rate arbitrage for AI assistants, with every number net of fees and order-book slippage.

AfterFees prices ~75,000 long/short pairs across 50 exchanges (CEX, perp DEXs, Hyperliquid HIP-3) and tells you what a trade would actually earn at your size: funding minus taker fees on all four fills, slippage walked on the live order books, borrow interest, stablecoin conversion and holding period. Most screeners show the gross rate spread; once costs and real order-book depth are counted, often only a handful of the tens of thousands of pairs can be opened at $10,000 per side. This server gives your assistant the same numbers as afterfees.xyz.

• Hosted, nothing to install. Streamable HTTP at https://afterfees.xyz/mcp.
• Read-only. 27 tools; none can place an order or move funds.
• No token needed to try it. The anonymous tier answers with exactly what an anonymous visitor of the site sees ($10,000 per side, held 7 days), 60 requests per minute per IP address.
• Neutral. No exchange referral links or listing fees; rankings are not influenced by any exchange.
