# Bitculator

Feeds your agent live and historical crypto market data: prices, OHLCV candles, sentiment indices, technical indicators. Hosted remote server, nothing to run locally.

## What it does

Bitculator exposes 19 read-only tools. An agent resolves a coin by name or symbol, pulls its profile, candles for a date range, the price on a past day, and the biggest movers over 24 hours or a week. Exchange coverage sits alongside: a ranked list by volume, a single-exchange profile, a trust score broken into 13 factors, and the tickers where a coin trades. There is also a whole-market snapshot with market cap and the Fear & Greed index, an altseason index, currency conversion, and a dollar-cost-averaging backtest against real price history.

The server is hosted and speaks Streamable HTTP at `https://bitculator.com/mcp`. Your client points at that URL and presents a key, sent either as `Authorization: Bearer <key>` or `X-API-Key: <key>`. MCP keys are their own product: a Data API or widget key comes back `401 unauthenticated`, so an existing key from elsewhere will not work. The free MCP plan needs no card, though some tools sit behind a paid plan.

Prices, rates and supplies arrive as decimal strings, so precision survives the trip. Every tool publishes an `outputSchema`, and results come back both as text and as `structuredContent`. Keep the key in your client settings or an environment variable rather than a file you commit.
