patternfetch

One call turns a crypto ticker + timeframe into a token-compact market-state brief — compact candles, detected chart/candlestick patterns, support/resistance, trend/regime, and interpreted indicators (RSI/EMA state) plus a one-line summary. So your AI agent never has to dump raw OHLCV into its context (saves tokens, avoids numeric hallucination).

Agent-first API + MCP. Crypto spot, minute-to-daily. Pay per call via x402 (USDC on Base, no account) or Stripe. Impersonal market data — not investment advice.

Why it's smaller: for BTC/USDT 4h (120 candles), a raw OHLCV dump is ~3,260 tokens of just numbers the model still has to analyze; patternfetch's interpreted analysis is ~1,323 tokens, already decided. Reproduce it (no account needed).

Install

npm install patternfetch

Quickstart

import { Patternfetch } from 'patternfetch';

// free key (small free credit included)
const { key } = await new Patternfetch().createKey('you@example.com');

const pf = new Patternfetch({ apiKey: key });
const brief = await pf.brief({ ticker: 'BTC/USDT', timeframe: '4h' });

console.log(brief.analysis.nl);
// "BTC/USDT: uptrend (strong), +2.1% last 4h, RSI 68 (neutral), bullish_engulfing (conf 1)."
console.log(brief.analysis.patterns, brief.analysis.levels, brief.analysis.regime);

Or with curl:

curl -X POST https://patternfetch.com/v1/keys -d '{"email":"you@example.com"}'
curl -X POST https://patternfetch.com/v1/brief \
  -H "authorization: Bearer pf_..." \
  -d '{"ticker":"BTC/USDT","timeframe":"4h"}'

Methods

MCP

patternfetch is a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP) at https://patternfetch.com/mcp. Tools: patternfetch_brief, patternfetch_delta, patternfetch_analogs, patternfetch_capabilities. Discovery (initialize, tools/list) is free — no key. Only tools/call needs auth.

One-click OAuth (nothing to paste) — in Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor or Smithery, add the URL and authorize once; a free-tier key is minted for you:

claude mcp add --transport http patternfetch https://patternfetch.com/mcp

In claude.ai: Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector → https://patternfetch.com/mcp → Authorize.

Or with a Bearer key — add to your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "patternfetch": {
      "url": "https://patternfetch.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer pf_..." }
    }
  }
}

Get a free key (small starter credit) at https://patternfetch.com/v1/keys.

Local stdio bridge

Prefer a local stdio server (Claude Desktop, sandboxes, no inbound HTTP)? This package ships patternfetch-mcp, a zero-dependency stdio↔HTTP bridge that exposes the same tools and forwards calls to patternfetch.com:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "patternfetch": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "patternfetch-mcp"],
      "env": { "PATTERNFETCH_API_KEY": "pf_..." }
    }
  }
}

tools/list works with no key; tool calls use PATTERNFETCH_API_KEY (or x402). Override the endpoint with PATTERNFETCH_MCP_URL.
