MarketTrace agent-feed

Read-only crypto perps microstructure for AI agents — normalized cross-exchange market state with self-declared coverage and freshness on every metric. Facts and normalization, no verdicts: the agent interprets.

• Hosted MCP: https://api.markettrace.ai/mcp (Streamable HTTP, OAuth — no API keys)

• Official registry: ai.markettrace/agent-feed

• Docs: https://markettrace.ai/agents

This repo is the front door — connection configs, the interface contract, and a thin stdio bridge. The data pipeline itself (4-venue ingest, archives, normalization) is not open source.

What it serves

9 assets (BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, XRP, DOGE, HYPE, ZEC, ENA) across Binance, Bybit, OKX, Hyperliquid:

Data: funding rates, open interest, cumulative volume delta (CVD), order-book depth, liquidations, OHLCV candles with per-candle delta, volume-profile levels, large aggressive orders, order-book wall events, stacked footprint imbalances.

Honesty model: every metric carries a coverage entry (venues, window depth, freshness); thin history answers with disclosed depth instead of made-up numbers; conditional outcomes go history_silent below the evidence floor; every response self-declares its age. Reports history, not predictions.

Connect

Claude (web/desktop): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → https://api.markettrace.ai/mcp → authorize (email magic link).

Every client signs in the same way: it opens a browser, you enter your email, and a sign-in link arrives. Open it on the same device and in the same browser where you started.

Claude Code (adding the server does not sign you in, so run both):

claude mcp add --transport http markettrace https://api.markettrace.ai/mcp
claude mcp login markettrace

Codex:

codex mcp add markettrace --url https://api.markettrace.ai/mcp
codex mcp login markettrace

Cursor: add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or use Add to Cursor on https://markettrace.ai/agents) and sign in when Cursor asks:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "markettrace": { "url": "https://api.markettrace.ai/mcp" }
  }
}

Stdio-only clients (via the standard OAuth-capable bridge):

npx -y mcp-remote https://api.markettrace.ai/mcp

More client configs in examples/mcp-configs.md.

Local stdio bridge (this repo)

mcp_server.py is a zero-dependency stdio bridge: it starts and answers introspection (initialize, tools/list) with no credentials — the bundled tools.json is a snapshot of the hosted server's own contract. Tool calls are proxied to the hosted endpoint when MARKETTRACE_BEARER is set; without it they return a pointer to the hosted OAuth endpoint instead of data. It holds no methodology — just a client.

Refresh the contract: tools.json is a {version, generated_at, tools} snapshot of the live server's tools/list — regenerate it by capturing that response and stamping the current contract version (mirrors feed.version in get_market_state).

python3 mcp_server.py            # Python 3.9+, no dependencies

Or with Docker:

docker build -t markettrace-bridge . && docker run -i markettrace-bridge

Things to ask

• "What's the market state for BTC — is positioning stretched?"

• "What happened historically after funding above the 90th percentile?"

• "How did open interest build over the last 3 days?"

• "How much got liquidated on ETH in the last hour — longs or shorts?"

• "Where are the key volume levels on BTC — any untested POCs nearby?"

• "Did a large resting order get absorbed on SOL in the last hour?"
