Getting started

Fusion MCP connects any MCP-compatible AI assistant to your Bitpanda Fusion account. Once connected, your AI can query market data, check balances, place orders, and manage your account through natural language.

Prerequisites

Before connecting your assistant, you need a Bitpanda Fusion API key.

Create one in your Bitpanda account under Account settings → API Keys → Fusion and assign the scopes required by your integration:

Read for market data, balances, account information, and trade history

Trade for placing and cancelling orders

Only enable the Trade scope if you want your assistant to perform trading actions.

See the API key generation guide for step-by-step instructions.

To connect to Fusion MCP, configure your AI tool with the following settings:

Setting	Value
