# True Value Rankings MCP Server

[![smithery badge](https://smithery.ai/badge/info-rpjo/tvr-mcp)](https://smithery.ai/servers/info-rpjo/tvr-mcp)

Cryptocurrency fundamentals for AI agents and their users, served over the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/). True Value Rankings (TVR) scores cryptocurrencies on 8 fundamental metrics rooted in Sound Value principles and publishes TVR Scores, rankings and TVR Estimated Values as a transparent, model-derived research toolkit. Independent: no sponsorships, no project funding, methodology in the open.

All outputs are model-derived assessments for informational and educational purposes only. They are not investment recommendations.

## Free tools (7)

| Tool | What it returns |
|------|-----------------|
| `get_tvr_score` | TVR Score, rank, valuation category, TVR Estimated Value and all 8 metric scores for a coin |
| `get_tvr_estimated_value` | TVR Estimated Value, fair value gap and valuation category |
| `compare_coins` | Side-by-side comparison of 2 to 5 coins on scores and valuations |
| `get_top_ranked` | Top coins by TVR Score, most undervalued or most overvalued |
| `get_methodology` | The 8 metrics, default weights and the 4 weight presets |
| `list_coins` | Every cryptocurrency currently evaluated |
| `get_full_breakdown` | One coin with the scoring factors behind each metric score, the valuation note and its ranking context |

Free answers from `compare_coins`, `get_top_ranked` and `get_full_breakdown` carry a `paid_option` field that names the paid call going further, with its price.

## Paid tools (3), one call at a time

| Tool | Price per call | What it returns |
|------|----------------|-----------------|
| `get_custom_ranking` | $0.05 | The full ranking recomputed under your own metric weights (a weight of 0 excludes that metric) |
| `get_portfolio_analysis` | $0.08 | Allocation-weighted fundamentals profile of a portfolio, with a portfolio TVR Score |
| `get_historical_scores` | free slice for everyone; full record $0.05 | Score history per coin. The last 90 days or last 3 records are free; the full record is sold only once a coin's record extends beyond the free slice |

Two payment rails are offered on the same 402 challenge, and MCP clients that support either handle the payment automatically:

- **x402** (USDC on Base, `eip155:8453`, exact scheme)
- **MPP**, the Machine Payments Protocol (USDC.e on Tempo, `eip155:4217`, push mode)

One payment buys one result; the same proof is re-delivered for 24 hours; a different input with the same proof is refused. Invalid input is refused before any payment is requested.

Personal agent keys for Premium subscribers are not being issued at the moment; the paid tools are sold one call at a time, and nothing is charged until a payment is presented.

Paid bodies contain TVR model outputs only (scores, ranks, valuations, gaps); raw prices and market caps are never resold.

## The 8 metrics

1. **Economic Model**: supply cap, inflation, distribution, sustainability
2. **Network Security and Reliability**: consensus robustness, decentralization, resilience
3. **Adoption and Network Effects**: transaction activity, merchant and institutional use, ecosystem
4. **Privacy and Fungibility**: default privacy, fungibility
5. **Longevity (Lindy Effect)**: operating history
6. **Market Liquidity**: volume, exchange availability, market depth
7. **Legal Clarity and Institutional Adoption**: regulatory status, global stance
8. **Technical Development**: development activity, upgrade record, leadership resilience
