Crypto MCP server for AI agents
MarketTrace runs a free, read-only crypto MCP server: cross-exchange perpetual futures microstructure for AI agents over the Model Context Protocol. One normalized market state per asset (funding rate with multi-year percentile, open interest, volume, CVD, order-book imbalance, liquidations, basis) for BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, XRP, DOGE and HYPE across Binance, Bybit, OKX and Hyperliquid. Facts and normalization, no verdicts: every metric carries its own coverage (venues, window depth, freshness), so an agent knows exactly how much to trust each number.
Connect the MCP server to Claude
- In Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
- Paste the server URL: https://api.markettrace.ai/mcp
- Authorize when prompted (email magic link, no API keys, nothing to copy).
- Ask away. The feed is read-only; it can never trade or move funds.

On Claude Code, add it from the terminal instead. Works with Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client; stdio-only clients connect via the standard mcp-remote bridge.

Things to ask
- “What's the market state for BTC — is positioning stretched?”
- “What happened historically after funding above the 90th percentile?”
- “How did open interest build over the last 3 days?”
- “How much got liquidated on ETH in the last hour — longs or shorts?”
Honesty model
The feed reports what it can measure and says so when it can't: thin history answers with disclosed depth instead of made-up numbers, conditional outcomes go history_silent below the evidence floor, and every response self-declares freshness. Reports history, not predictions.
Free and open source
The hosted MCP server is free: no API keys, no card, OAuth via email magic link. The stdio bridge, connection configs and the full tool contract are open source (MIT) on GitHub. The feed is read-only by design: it can never trade or move funds.
