# Crypto Whitepapers MCP Server
An MCP server serving as a structured knowledge base of crypto whitepapers for AI agents to access, analyze, and learn from.
[](https://discord.gg/aRnuu2eJ)



## Features
- **Search Whitepapers**: Use DuckDuckGo to find whitepaper PDFs for cryptocurrency projects.
- **Load Whitepapers**: Download and index whitepaper PDFs into the knowledge base.
- **Query Knowledge Base**: Query whitepaper content with optional project filtering.
- **List Projects**: View all projects available in the knowledge base.
- **Claude Desktop Integration**: Access tools and prompts via MCP in Claude Desktop.
## Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+
- [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) for dependency management and running
- Internet access.
- [Claude Desktop](https://claude.ai/download) for MCP integration (optional)
## Setup
1. **Clone the Repository**:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/kukapay/crypto-whitepapers-mcp.git
cd crypto-whitepapers-mcp
```
2. **Install Dependencies with uv**:
```bash
uv sync
```
5. **Integrate with Claude Desktop** (Optional):
- Edit the Claude Desktop configuration file:
- **MacOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
- Add the following configuration:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"crypto-whitepapers": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"/absolute/path/to/crypto-whitepapers-mcp"
"run",
"crypto-whitepapers-mcp"
]
}
}
}
```
Replace `/absolute/path/to/crypto-whitepapers-mcp` with the absolute path to the repository.
- Restart Claude Desktop and verify the server is loaded (look for the hammer icon in the input box).
## Usage
### Tools
The following tools are available via the MCP server:
- **`list_available_projects()`**: Lists all projects in the knowledge base (derived from PDF filenames).
- Example: `list_available_projects()`
- Returns: JSON list of project names.
- **`search_whitepaper(project_name: str)`**: Searches for a project's whitepaper PDF using DuckDuckGo.
- Example: `search_whitepaper("bitcoin")`
- Returns: JSON list of up to 5 results with title, URL, and snippet.
- **`load_whitepaper(project_name: str, url: str)`**: Downloads a whitepaper PDF from a URL and loads it into the knowledge base.
- Example: `load_whitepaper("bitcoin", "https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf")`
- Returns: Success or error message.
- **`ask_whitepapers(query: str, project_name: str = None)`**: Searches the knowledge base for a query, optionally filtered by project.
- Example: `ask_whitepapers("blockchain technology", "bitcoin")`
- Returns: Up to 5 matching text snippets.
### Prompts
- **`analyze_tokenomics(project_name: str)`**: Analyzes tokenomics (distribution, supply, incentives) in a project's whitepaper using the `ask_whitepapers` tool.
- Example: In Claude Desktop, run "Analyze the tokenomics of Ethereum."
### Examples
1. List available projects:
```
List all available projects.
```
2. Search for a whitepaper:
```
Search for the Bitcoin whitepaper PDF.
```
3. Load a whitepaper:
```
Load the Bitcoin whitepaper from https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf.
```
4. Query the knowledge base:
```
