🕵️ 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.

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:

1. The client starts the tokenspy-mcp process

2. Communication happens over stdin/stdout using JSON-RPC

3. The AI agent can discover and call TokenSpy tools

4. All tools are read-only — no destructive operations, ever
