Question 1

What is OpenMM and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

OpenMM is an open-source, TypeScript-first trading toolkit with exchange adapters, order management, risk controls, and a strategy framework. It includes an MCP server that gives AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) direct access to market data, order execution, and portfolio tracking across 4 exchanges.

Question 2

Which exchanges does OpenMM support?

Accepted Answer

OpenMM currently supports MEXC, Gate.io, Bitget, and Kraken via a unified connector interface. Each exchange implements the same API — strategies don't care which exchange they're running on. DEX support for Cardano is in development.

Question 3

Can I trade using natural language with OpenMM?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The OpenMM MCP server lets you issue commands like 'start a grid on BTC/USDC with 1% spread' or 'what's my current P&L?' through Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant. The AI is a control plane — the strategy engine runs deterministically underneath.

Question 4

Is OpenMM free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, OpenMM is fully open source under the MIT license. The Core SDK, MCP server, and all trading tools are free. You run your own infrastructure with full self-custody. QBT Labs offers optional managed services for teams that need operational support.
