MCP Server

What is MCP?

MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that provides a tool to determine whether the price of a given crypto asset is in a trending or ranging regime on the 1-hour chart, using both price data and technical analysis (TA) indicators. It is designed for developers and traders integrating crypto market analysis into MCP-compatible clients.

How to use MCP?

Configure the server by setting environment variables (COINMARKETCAP_API_KEY, TAAPI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, RUN_HTTP_SERVER) in a .env file. Run it via Docker (docker compose up --build) or NPM (npm run build && npm run start). For HTTP mode (Cursor/VSC), the server listens on port 3100 with URL http://localhost:3100/mcp. For Claude Desktop, set RUN_HTTP_SERVER to false and use the Docker configuration in claude_desktop_config.json.
