Perp funding screener

Rank perpetuals by funding rate: the N most positive (longs pay shorts) and N most negative (shorts pay longs) markets with hourly, 8h and annualized rates, open interest and 24h volume. minVolumeUsd filters out illiquid markets (default $1M). Send POST /api/perp-funding-screener with no required fields (2 optional) and pay $0.002 per call over x402 or MPP (there is no free tier). It returns a JSON object with source, screened, minVolumeUsd, highest, lowest and 1 more.

The carry and basis-trade screen in one call. Hyperliquid public data.

The hosted connector at https://agent402.tools/mcp needs a payment for perp-funding-screener; the stdio package pays it from a wallet or from AGENT402_CREDITS_KEY. Local install: npx -y agent402-mcp.

Errors and behavior

• Every field is optional. An input the tool rejects returns an HTTP 4xx whose body carries error, tool, expected, required and example.
• A paid call that ends in any status of 400 or above is not charged over x402, MPP or a prepaid credits key: settlement is cancelled when the tool fails. The exception is a Tempo push credential, a transfer the buyer sent before the call: it settles before the tool runs, so if the tool then fails the payment is recorded as a refund owed to the paying wallet.
• Wallet-only: this tool reaches the network or stored state, so it has no proof-of-work tier. A prepaid card-credits key (Authorization: Bearer a402_...) also pays it.
• A GET or HEAD to /api/perp-funding-screener returns the same 402 quote, so the price can be read without a body.
• An Idempotency-Key header makes a retried paid call replay the first 200 instead of charging again (an answer larger than 1 MB is not replayed).
