Setup
Get your ChainGPT Secret Key
You need to have a Nodejs environment(v18 or higher) to run this server
A Compatible MCP Client. I recommend Claude Desktop
Installation
via Smithery
To install ChainGPT MCP Server for any MCP client automatically via Smithery:
npx -y @smithery/cli install @kohasummon/chaingpt-mcp --client claudeThis adds the server to claude desktop config. Replace claude with the name of the client you are using. See the list of clients here.
Manual Installation
pnpm install -g @kohasummon/chaingpt-mcpConfigure Claude Desktop to recognize the ChainGPT MCP server
You can find claude_desktop_config.json inside the settings of Claude Desktop app:
Open the Claude Desktop app and enable Developer Mode from the top-left menu bar.
Once enabled, open Settings (also from the top-left menu bar) and navigate to the Developer Option, where you'll find the Edit Config button. Clicking it will open the claude_desktop_config.json file, allowing you to make the necessary edits.
OR (if you want to open claude_desktop_config.json from terminal)
For macOS:
code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.jsonFor Windows:
code %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json2. Add the ChainGPT MCP server configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"chaingpt": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["/path/to/chaingpt-mcp/build/index.js"],
"env": {
"CHAINGPT_SECRET_KEY": "your-secret-key-here"
},
"toolCallTimeoutMillis": 120000
}
}
}Replace your-secret-key-here with your actual ChainGPT secret key from app.chaingpt.org/apidashboard.
3. Restart Claude Desktop
For the changes to take effect:
Completely quit Claude Desktop (not just close the window)
Start Claude Desktop again
Look for the 🔌 icon to verify the ChainGPT MCP server is connected
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Server Not Found
Verify the npm link is correctly set up
Check Claude Desktop configuration syntax
Ensure Node.js is properly installed
API Key Issues
Confirm your CHAINGPT_SECRET_KEY is valid
Check the CHAINGPT_SECRET_KEY is correctly set in the Claude Desktop config
Verify no spaces or quotes around the API key
Connection Issues
Restart Claude Desktop completely
Check Claude Desktop logs:
Node.js should be minimum v18 (or higher)
# macOS tail -n 20 -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log # Windows type "%APPDATA%\Claude\logs\mcp*.log"Tool Call Timeout
Set the tool call timeout to 120 seconds or higher
This can be changed in the claude_desktop_config.json file

searchQuery(string, optional): The search query to fetch the news.
limit(number, optional): The number of news to fetch. Default is 10. You can increase this to retrieve more articles in one call (e.g. limit: 20 for 20 articles). Note that higher limits will consume additional credits (see Rate Limits & Credits). If you only want a small number of the latest articles, you can set a smaller limit as well.
offset(number, optional): The offset of the news to fetch. Default is 0. This is used for pagination. For example, to get the second page of results when using a limit of 10, you would set offset: 10 (skip the first 10 articles, return the next set).

fetchAfter(Datetime, optional): The date after which to fetch the news. Provide a JavaScript Date object or a date string (which will be interpreted in UTC by the API). For example, fetchAfter: new Date('2024-01-01') will fetch news items published from January 1, 2024 onward. This is useful for getting news within a certain time range (e.g., only recent news).
sortBy(string, optional): The field by which to sort the news. Currently, the only supported sort key is 'createdAt', which corresponds to the article's publication time. By default, results are sorted by newest (most recent) first. If not provided, the SDK will sort by createdAt descending. (At this time, no other sort fields are supported.)
Returns:
The response from ChainGPT AI to the provided question or message.
Inputs: categoryId, subCategoryId, tokenId, searchQuery, +4 more.

Scored across 3 tools
The three tools have clearly distinct purposes: one fetches AI-related crypto news, another retrieves chat history, and the third invokes a conversational AI chat. There is no overlap in functionality, making it easy for an agent to select the appropriate tool for each task without confusion.
All tool names follow a consistent pattern: 'chaingpt_' prefix followed by a verb_noun structure (get_ai_crypto_news, get_chat_history, invoke_chat). This uniformity enhances readability and predictability across the toolset.
With only three tools, the server feels somewhat thin for its broad domain of crypto AI assistance. While the tools cover news, chat history, and chat invocation, the scope suggests potential gaps in areas like analytics or market data retrieval, making the count borderline for comprehensive coverage.
The tools provide basic access to news and chat functionalities, but there are notable gaps for a crypto AI assistant. Missing operations include market data analysis, token-specific queries beyond news, or deeper blockchain interactions, which limits the server's ability to handle full crypto-aware AI workflows.

Real-time planetary signal engine and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for autonomous AI agents.
The Mercado Pago MCP Server implements the Model Context Protocol to provide AI agents and LLMs with access to Mercado Pago's APIs and tools within compatible development environments. It acts as an intermediary that translates Mercado Pago resources into executable functions (tools) that AI applications can invoke to perform actions and automate flows. The server simplifies integration, enables using documentation to implement or improve code, and optimizes operations through natural language interactions without manual implementations.
