## What is this?

CryptoQuant MCP Server brings on-chain analytics directly into your AI assistant:

- **Natural language queries**: Ask in any language - "비트코인 가격 전망?" or "Is BTC overvalued?"
- **Real-time metrics**: MVRV, SOPR, Exchange Flows, Funding Rates
- **Market insights**: AI-powered interpretation of on-chain data
- **Whale tracking**: Monitor large holder movements

## Installation

### Quick Start (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.)

**Step 1**: Add to your MCP config file:

| App | Config File |
|-----|-------------|
| **Claude Desktop (Mac)** | `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` |
| **Claude Desktop (Windows)** | `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` |
| **Claude Code** | `~/.claude/mcp.json` or project `.mcp.json` |
| **Cursor** | Project `.cursor/mcp.json` |

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cryptoquant": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "cryptoquant-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

**Step 2**: Restart your app

**Step 3**: Call `initialize()` to verify connection. Done!

### Local Development

For contributors:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/CryptoQuantOfficial/cryptoquant-mcp.git
cd cryptoquant-mcp
npm install && npm run build
```

## MCP Tools

The MCP server provides these tools for API access:

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `initialize` | Start session with API key, returns plan info |
| `discover_endpoints` | Browse 245+ available endpoints |
| `get_endpoint_info` | Get endpoint parameter details |
| `query_data` | Query raw API data |
| `describe_metric` | Get metric descriptions and thresholds |
| `list_assets` | List supported assets |
| `reset_session` | Clear session (logout) |

### Supported Assets

BTC, ETH, ALT, Stablecoin, ERC20, TRX, XRP

---

## Natural Language Queries

Ask questions in any language - Claude will route to the right metrics:

| Query | Intent | Metric |
|-------|--------|--------|
| "비트코인 가격 전망이 어때?" | VALUATION | MVRV |
| "Is BTC overvalued?" | VALUATION | MVRV |
| "고래들 움직임 보여줘" | WHALE_ACTIVITY | whale-ratio |
| "What's the funding rate?" | LEVERAGE | funding-rates |
| "익절/손절 상황?" | PROFIT_BEHAVIOR | SOPR |

---

## Authentication

### Option A. Environment Variable (Recommended)

Add your API key to the MCP config:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cryptoquant": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "cryptoquant-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CRYPTOQUANT_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Option B. Direct Parameter

Call `initialize()` with your API key:

```
initialize(api_key="your-api-key")
```

The key will be saved to `~/.cryptoquant/credentials` for future sessions.

**Get your API key**: [https://cryptoquant.com/settings/api](https://cryptoquant.com/settings/api)

### Managing Credentials

```bash
# Switch accounts
reset_session(clear_stored=true)
initialize(api_key="new-api-key")
```

---

## Requirements

| Component | Requirement |
|-----------|-------------|
| Node.js | v18+ |
| API Access | [CryptoQuant API key](https://cryptoquant.com/settings/api) |

## Development

### Setup

After cloning the repository, install dependencies to set up git hooks:

```bash
npm install
```

This automatically configures [husky](https://typicode.github.io/husky/) for pre-commit hooks.

### Pre-commit Hooks

When committing changes to `src/`, ESLint runs automatically:

- Lint check runs only when files in `src/` are staged
- Commit is blocked if lint errors are found
- Fix errors before committing: `npm run lint`

TDQS

A4/5.0

Scored across 7 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: session management (initialize, reset_session), asset listing (list_assets), endpoint discovery (discover_endpoints, get_endpoint_info), metric description (describe_metric), and data retrieval (query_data). No two tools overlap in functionality, and the workflow dependencies are well-documented.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names use lowercase snake_case with a consistent verb_noun pattern (e.g., describe_metric, discover_endpoints, list_assets). The sole exception is 'initialize', which is a common concise verb, but it fits the overall pattern and does not break consistency.

Tool Count5/5

With 7 tools, the server is well-scoped for its purpose—covering session management, asset discovery, endpoint exploration, metric description, and data querying. The number is neither too few nor excessive for a specialized data API.

Completeness5/5

The tool set provides a complete lifecycle for interacting with CryptoQuant's read-only API: initialize session, list assets and categories, discover endpoints, get endpoint details, understand metrics, query data, and reset session. There are no obvious gaps for the stated domain.
