Usage

The server provides two main tools:

1. **calculate_orderbook**: Computes bid depth, ask depth, and imbalance for a trading pair on a specified exchange.

2. **compare_orderbook**: Compares bid depth, ask depth, and imbalance across multiple exchanges, returning a Markdown table.

Example: Calculate Order Book Metrics

Prompt: "Calculate the order book metrics for BTC/USDT on Binance with a 1% depth range."

Expected Output (JSON object):

{
  "exchange": "binance",
  "symbol": "BTC/USDT",
  "bid_depth": 123.45,
  "ask_depth": 234.56,
  "imbalance": 0.1234,
  "mid_price": 50000.0,
  "timestamp": 1698765432000
}

Example: Compare Order Book Across Exchanges

Prompt: "Compare the order book metrics for BTC/USDT across Binance, Kraken, and OKX with a 1% depth range."

Expected Output (Markdown table):

| exchange | bid_depth | ask_depth | imbalance |
|----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
| binance  |    123.45 |    234.56 |    0.1234 |
| kraken   |     89.12 |    178.34 |    0.0987 |
