Bitculator MCP Server

Live and historical crypto market data for AI agents: prices, OHLCV history, sentiment indices, technical indicators, exchanges, liquidations and conversions, as 19 read-only tools.

It is a hosted, remote MCP server: there is nothing to install or run. Point any MCP client that supports remote servers over Streamable HTTP at the endpoint below and add your key.

Get a key

Create a key in the MCP console. The free MCP plan works, no card required. MCP keys are their own product: Data API keys and widget keys are rejected with 401 unauthenticated.

Keep the key out of shared files you commit: put it in your client's settings or an environment variable.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http bitculator \
    https://bitculator.com/mcp \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor

This repository is also a Cursor plugin (.cursor-plugin/plugin.json): it asks for your MCP key once (stored by Cursor, never in this repo) and adds the server and the bitculator skill. Or configure it by hand in ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bitculator": {
      "url": "https://bitculator.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json)

{
  "servers": {
    "bitculator": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://bitculator.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Smithery and other gateways

On Smithery, enter your MCP key in the connection form. Gateways that reserve the Authorization header for their own sign-in can send the same key as an X-API-Key header instead.
