Fathom — Financial Reality for AI Agents

For Your Intelligence. The FYI your agent needs before it acts.

Live at fathom.fyi

What is Fathom?

Fathom is an MCP server that gives AI agents financial reality awareness before they make consequential decisions.

The problem: Every AI agent operating in crypto today is blind. Trading bots see prices but don't understand context. DeFi agents deploy capital without knowing where we are in the cycle. Treasury managers make decisions without macro awareness. They have data but no understanding.

The solution: Fathom synthesizes 8 real-time data sources into interpreted intelligence — regime classification, cycle positioning, sentiment state, DeFi health, macro context, and on-chain signals — delivered as plain English guidance an agent can act on immediately.

Your agent doesn't get "BTC is $82,000." It gets: "Market is in late-stage risk-off rotation. Fear & Greed at 28. BTC dominance rising — capital rotating to safety. Historical analog: Q4 2022 pre-recovery accumulation zone. Recommended posture: defensive."

Quick Start

Zero config — works immediately

Add to your Claude Desktop config (Settings → Developer → Edit Config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fathom": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "fathom-fyi"]
    }
  }
}

Save. Restart Claude Desktop. Ask Claude: "Use Fathom to check the market."

That's it. Three free tools, live data, no API keys needed.

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fathom": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "fathom-fyi"]
    }
  }
}

Any MCP client

Fathom uses stdio transport. Point any MCP client at npx -y fathom-fyi.

Real-World Workflows

Prediction Market Bot — Call get_asset_momentum (15m + 4h) for direction, get_derivatives_context for funding rates + max pain, get_event_catalyst_timeline to suppress bets near FOMC/CPI, and get_signal_history to weight signals by past accuracy.

Daily Trading Briefing — Call get_reality_check at market open. If risk_score > 70, reduce exposure. If suggested_posture is "sideline", close leveraged positions. Add get_stablecoin_flows to confirm capital direction.

Portfolio Rebalancing — set_portfolio_context with your holdings, then get_portfolio_analysis for regime-aligned suggestions. Use get_correlation_matrix to check if your BTC and equity exposure are double-counting the same macro risk.

Automated Alerts — set_alert for conditions like fear_greed < 20. Poll with get_alerts. On Unlimited tier, set_webhook to POST directly to your bot when conditions are met.

Example Agent Prompts

Before any trade:

"Use get_reality_check to assess current market conditions. What is the risk score and suggested posture? Should I proceed with this trade?"

Portfolio check:

"Use set_portfolio_context with my holdings: 2 BTC, 50 SOL, $10k USDC. Then use get_portfolio_analysis — is my portfolio aligned with the current regime?"

Narrative research:

"Use get_narrative_pulse to identify which crypto sectors are accelerating. Where is the momentum?"

Asset due diligence:

"Use get_asset_context for SOL, then get_reality_check for the overall environment. Is this a good entry point?"

Macro awareness:

"Use get_macro_context and get_temporal_context. Where are we in the cycle and what's the macro backdrop?"

Risk assessment before deploying capital:

"Use get_reality_check. What are the top 3 risks I should be aware of before deploying capital today?"

    TDQS

    A3.7/5.0

    Scored across 31 tools

    Disambiguation3/5

    The tools have overlapping purposes that could cause confusion, such as multiple 'get_' tools for market analysis (e.g., get_market_regime, get_reality_check, get_sentiment_state) which may seem redundant. However, descriptions provide some differentiation, like get_reality_check synthesizing all data sources, but an agent might struggle to choose the right one for specific needs without careful reading.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    Tool names follow a highly consistent verb_noun pattern throughout, with 'get_', 'set_', 'evaluate_', and 'manage_' prefixes clearly indicating actions. This predictability makes it easy for agents to understand the tool's function at a glance, with no deviations in style.

    Tool Count2/5

    With 31 tools, the count is excessive for a single server, likely overwhelming agents and causing decision paralysis. While the domain (crypto market analysis) is broad, many tools could be consolidated or grouped to reduce complexity, making it feel bloated and inefficient.

    Completeness5/5

    The tool set provides comprehensive coverage for crypto market analysis, including data retrieval (e.g., get_asset_context, get_macro_context), strategy evaluation, portfolio management, alerts, and webhooks. There are no obvious gaps; it supports full lifecycle operations from setup to monitoring and adjustment.
