Generates trading signals by analyzing cryptocurrency market data through quantitative models and technical indicators. The MCP server exposes signal generation as a tool that Claude and other LLM clients can invoke, passing market parameters and receiving structured signal outputs (buy/sell/hold recommendations with confidence scores). Integrates with crypto data providers to fetch OHLCV data, compute indicators (RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, etc.), and apply statistical models to produce actionable trading signals.
Unique: Exposes quantitative signal generation as an MCP tool callable by Claude and other LLMs, enabling natural language-driven crypto analysis workflows where agents can request signals, interpret them, and make trading decisions within a single conversation context. Uses MCP's tool-calling protocol to abstract away signal computation details while maintaining full parameter control.
vs alternatives: Unlike standalone crypto APIs or trading bots, this MCP server integrates signal generation directly into LLM reasoning loops, allowing Claude to combine quantitative signals with qualitative analysis, risk assessment, and multi-asset correlation in a single agentic workflow.
Computes technical indicators (RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, moving averages, etc.) across multiple timeframes simultaneously and aggregates results into a unified signal consensus. The server accepts a cryptocurrency symbol and returns indicator values for 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, 1d timeframes in a single call, enabling multi-timeframe analysis patterns where short-term and long-term trends are evaluated together. Aggregation logic may apply voting or weighting schemes to produce a composite signal strength.
Unique: Bundles multi-timeframe indicator computation into a single MCP tool call, reducing round-trip latency and API quota consumption compared to fetching each timeframe separately. Implements aggregation logic (consensus voting, weighted scoring) server-side, allowing Claude to reason about trend alignment without manual cross-timeframe comparison.
vs alternatives: Faster and simpler than calling separate indicator APIs for each timeframe; provides built-in consensus logic that LLM agents can directly interpret, whereas generic charting APIs require the client to implement aggregation logic.
Implements comprehensive error handling and input validation for MCP protocol interactions, including parameter schema validation, graceful error responses, and detailed error messages. The server validates all inputs against JSON Schema definitions and returns structured error responses with actionable guidance.
Unique: Implements MCP-specific error handling with JSON Schema validation and structured error responses. Provides detailed validation errors that help clients understand and fix invalid requests.
vs alternatives: More robust than unvalidated APIs and provides better developer experience than generic HTTP error codes.
Validates signal generation logic against historical cryptocurrency price data by replaying signals across past market conditions and computing performance metrics (win rate, profit factor, max drawdown, Sharpe ratio). The server accepts a signal strategy definition (indicator parameters, entry/exit rules) and a date range, then simulates trades on historical OHLCV data and returns detailed backtest results. Enables rapid iteration on signal parameters without live trading risk.
Unique: Integrates backtesting as an MCP tool, allowing Claude to propose signal strategies, validate them against historical data, and iterate on parameters within a single conversation. Computes standard quant metrics (Sharpe ratio, max drawdown, profit factor) server-side, enabling LLM agents to reason about strategy quality without manual calculation.
vs alternatives: More accessible than standalone backtesting frameworks (Backtrader, VectorBT) because it's callable from Claude without coding; provides structured output that LLMs can interpret and reason about, whereas traditional backtesting tools require manual result interpretation.
Connects to cryptocurrency exchange WebSocket APIs (Binance, Kraken, Coinbase, etc.) to stream real-time OHLCV data, order book updates, and trade ticks. The MCP server maintains persistent WebSocket connections and exposes current market state as queryable tools, allowing Claude to request the latest price, volume, bid-ask spread, or order book depth for any crypto asset. Handles reconnection logic, data buffering, and timestamp synchronization automatically.
Unique: Abstracts WebSocket connection management and multi-exchange data normalization behind MCP tools, allowing Claude to query real-time market data without handling connection lifecycle or format differences. Maintains persistent connections server-side, reducing latency compared to opening new connections per query.
vs alternatives: Simpler than direct exchange API integration because MCP handles connection pooling and reconnection; faster than polling REST APIs because it uses push-based WebSocket updates; more accessible than building custom data pipelines because it's a single MCP tool call.
Analyzes price correlations and technical indicator divergences across multiple cryptocurrency assets to identify trading opportunities. Computes rolling correlations between asset pairs (e.g., BTC vs ETH, BTC vs altcoins), detects when correlated assets diverge from expected relationships, and identifies bullish/bearish divergences (price makes new high but indicator does not). Returns structured divergence alerts with asset pairs, divergence type, and confidence scores.
Unique: Computes correlation matrices and divergence detection across multiple assets server-side, exposing results as structured MCP tools that Claude can query and reason about. Detects both price-indicator divergences and cross-asset correlation breaks in a single call, reducing the need for multiple analysis steps.
vs alternatives: More efficient than manually comparing multiple assets and indicators; provides structured divergence data that LLMs can interpret directly; faster than building custom correlation analysis because it's pre-built and optimized for crypto markets.
Analyzes historical volatility patterns to detect current market regime (low volatility, high volatility, volatility expansion, volatility contraction) and forecasts near-term volatility using models like GARCH or exponential weighted moving average (EWMA). Returns current volatility regime classification, volatility percentile (current vol vs historical range), and volatility forecast for next N candles. Enables regime-aware signal filtering and position sizing.
Unique: Combines volatility regime detection with forecasting in a single MCP tool, allowing Claude to query both current market conditions and near-term volatility expectations. Uses GARCH or EWMA models server-side to compute forecasts, enabling LLM agents to make volatility-aware decisions without implementing statistical models.
vs alternatives: More accessible than standalone volatility modeling libraries (arch, statsmodels) because it's a single MCP call; provides regime classification that LLMs can directly interpret, whereas raw volatility numbers require manual interpretation.
Allows users to define custom alert rules (e.g., 'alert when BTC price crosses above 50-day MA', 'alert when RSI > 70 on 1h timeframe', 'alert when correlation between BTC and ETH drops below 0.7') and automatically monitors market conditions to trigger notifications. The MCP server maintains rule state, evaluates conditions against real-time or periodic market data, and exposes tools to create, update, delete, and list active alerts. Supports multiple notification channels (webhook, email, Slack, Discord, etc.).
Unique: Exposes alert management as MCP tools, allowing Claude to create, update, and manage trading alerts conversationally. Integrates with multiple notification channels (webhook, Slack, Discord, email) and maintains alert state server-side, enabling persistent monitoring without client-side polling.
vs alternatives: More flexible than exchange-native alerts because it supports custom conditions (technical indicators, correlations, divergences); more accessible than building custom monitoring systems because alert logic is defined through MCP tools rather than code.

Scrapes a single URL and converts HTML content to clean markdown using Firecrawl's content extraction pipeline. The firecrawl_scrape tool accepts a URL and optional parameters (formats, headers, wait time, screenshot capability) and returns structured markdown output with automatic cleanup of boilerplate, navigation, and ads. Implements MCP tool handler pattern that marshals arguments through the @mendable/firecrawl-js client library to Firecrawl's backend processing engine.
Unique: Integrates Firecrawl's proprietary content extraction engine (which uses ML-based boilerplate removal and semantic content identification) through MCP protocol, enabling AI agents to access production-grade web scraping without managing browser automation or parsing logic themselves. The markdown conversion is handled server-side rather than client-side, reducing latency and ensuring consistent output formatting.
vs alternatives: Cleaner markdown output than regex-based scrapers like Cheerio or Puppeteer-only solutions because Firecrawl uses ML models to identify main content; simpler than self-hosted solutions because it's fully managed and requires only an API key.
Scrapes multiple URLs in a single operation using Firecrawl's batch processing pipeline. The firecrawl_batch_scrape tool accepts an array of URLs and shared options, submitting them to Firecrawl's backend which processes them in parallel and returns an array of markdown-converted content objects. Implements batching through the @mendable/firecrawl-js client's batch method, which handles request queuing, parallel execution, and result aggregation without requiring client-side coordination.
Unique: Implements server-side parallel batch processing through Firecrawl's backend rather than client-side loop iteration, reducing network round-trips and enabling true concurrent scraping. The batch operation is atomic from the MCP client perspective — a single tool call returns all results, simplifying agent orchestration logic.
More efficient than sequential scraping loops because Firecrawl handles parallelization server-side; simpler than managing Promise.all() with individual scrape calls because batching is a first-class operation with built-in error handling.

Smithery handles server distribution, version management, and client integration.
Unique: Leverages Smithery's MCP server registry to enable one-click installation without manual configuration, reducing friction for end users. Smithery handles server discovery, versioning, and client integration, abstracting deployment complexity.
vs alternatives: More user-friendly than manual installation because Smithery handles discovery and setup; more discoverable than GitHub-only distribution because Smithery provides a centralized marketplace.
Supports connecting to self-hosted Firecrawl instances in addition to Firecrawl's cloud service through configurable API endpoint. The FIRECRAWL_API_URL environment variable allows operators to specify a custom Firecrawl endpoint, enabling deployment scenarios where Firecrawl runs on-premises or in a private cloud. The @mendable/firecrawl-js client library handles endpoint abstraction, routing all API calls to the configured endpoint.
Unique: Enables flexible deployment by supporting both cloud and self-hosted Firecrawl instances through simple endpoint configuration, allowing operators to choose deployment model without code changes. The endpoint abstraction is handled by @mendable/firecrawl-js, making self-hosted support transparent to MCP server code.
vs alternatives: More flexible than cloud-only solutions because self-hosted option is available; simpler than maintaining separate server implementations because endpoint configuration is unified.
Discovers all URLs within a website by crawling from a base URL and building a sitemap-like structure. The firecrawl_map tool accepts a base URL and optional parameters (max depth, include patterns, exclude patterns) and returns a hierarchical array of discovered URLs with metadata about page structure. Uses Firecrawl's crawler to traverse internal links up to specified depth, filtering by inclusion/exclusion patterns, and returns the complete URL graph without fetching full page content.
Unique: Provides lightweight URL discovery without content extraction, allowing agents to plan scraping strategy before committing credits to full content fetches. The depth-based crawling with pattern filtering enables selective discovery — agents can discover only URLs matching specific criteria (e.g., /blog/* paths) without exploring entire site.
vs alternatives: More efficient than scraping every page to build a sitemap because it skips content extraction; more reliable than parsing robots.txt or sitemaps.xml because it performs actual crawling and discovers dynamically-linked content.
Crawls an entire website and extracts content from all discovered pages in a single asynchronous operation. The firecrawl_crawl tool accepts a base URL and options (max pages, allowed domains, exclude patterns, scrape options) and returns a crawl ID for polling. The crawler discovers URLs, extracts markdown content from each page, and stores results server-side. Clients poll firecrawl_crawl_status to retrieve results as they complete, implementing an async job pattern rather than blocking until completion.
Unique: Implements server-side asynchronous crawling with job-based result retrieval, decoupling the crawl initiation from result consumption. The MCP server handles polling coordination through firecrawl_crawl_status, allowing AI agents to initiate long-running crawls and check progress without blocking. Firecrawl's backend manages the entire crawl lifecycle including URL discovery, content extraction, and result storage.
vs alternatives: More scalable than sequential scraping because crawling happens server-side in parallel; simpler than managing Puppeteer/Playwright browser pools because Firecrawl abstracts browser automation and handles rate limiting internally.
Polls the status of an in-progress or completed website crawl and retrieves extracted content. The firecrawl_crawl_status tool accepts a crawl ID and returns current progress (pages crawled, pages remaining, completion percentage), status state (running/completed/failed), and paginated results. Implements polling pattern where clients repeatedly call this tool with the same crawl ID to check progress and incrementally retrieve content as pages are processed, supporting streaming-like result consumption.
Unique: Provides non-blocking status and result retrieval for asynchronous crawls, enabling agents to manage long-running operations without blocking. The polling pattern with pagination allows incremental result consumption — agents can start processing results before the entire crawl completes, reducing end-to-end latency for large crawls.
vs alternatives: More flexible than blocking crawl operations because agents can check progress and retrieve partial results; simpler than webhook-based result delivery because polling requires no external infrastructure setup.
