🕵️ TokenSpy MCP Server

Give your AI agent access to pitfall intelligence and trading signals.

TokenSpy maintains a curated database of AI pitfalls (common mistakes, failure modes, and gotchas that cost teams real money) and trading signals (data-driven directional indicators). This MCP server lets AI agents like Claude, Cursor, and others query that data directly.

Quick Start

npx tokenspy-mcp

That's it. Your AI agent can now search pitfalls and trading signals.

Installation

Option 1: npx (no install)

npx tokenspy-mcp

Option 2: Global install

npm install -g tokenspy-mcp
tokenspy-mcp

Configuration

Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tokenspy": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "tokenspy-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "TOKENSPY_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to your Cursor MCP settings (.cursor/mcp.json in your project or global config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tokenspy": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "tokenspy-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "TOKENSPY_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf / Other MCP Clients

Any MCP-compatible client can use this server. Point it at:

How It Works

This package implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — an open standard for connecting AI agents to external tools and data sources. When you configure this server in Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client:

The client starts the tokenspy-mcp process
Communication happens over stdin/stdout using JSON-RPC
The AI agent can discover and call TokenSpy tools
All tools are read-only — no destructive operations, ever

Development

git clone https://github.com/kypro-ai/tokenspy-mcp.git
cd tokenspy-mcp

npm run build
