# CryptoQuant

Gives your agent on-chain metrics, OHLCV prices, derivatives data and CryptoQuant Research articles. Handy when the numbers you need live outside the repo.

## What it does

Nine tools arrive with the server. `discover_endpoints` locates data endpoints by asset and category, `get_endpoint_info` lists their parameters, and `query_data` pulls on-chain, market and derivatives figures. Research is covered separately: `recent_research` and `query_research` for CryptoQuant Research articles, `recent_quicktake` and `query_quicktake` for posts by Verified Authors. `describe_metric` returns a metric's definition, thresholds and how to read it, while `list_assets` shows which assets are supported.

The recommended route is the remote server at `https://mcp.cryptoquant.com/mcp` over Streamable HTTP. No API key goes into the config — the client opens a CryptoQuant sign-in page on first connect and OAuth takes over. In Claude, run `/mcp` after adding the server to sign in. Clients limited to local stdio servers can use the `npx cryptoquant-mcp` proxy instead, which passes messages through to the remote server unchanged. That path wants Node.js 18+ and a CryptoQuant API key in `CRYPTOQUANT_API_KEY`. Leave the key out and the proxy prints setup steps to stderr and exits, so the config never starts.

Dates are strings: `yyyyMMdd` when `window=day`, `yyyyMMddTHHmmss` for other windows. Rate limits and how far back history goes follow your CryptoQuant plan, and the server reports those limits to the agent on connect. Coming from 0.x?

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Remote server: `https://mcp.cryptoquant.com/mcp`
- Environment variables: `CRYPTOQUANT_API_KEY`, `CRYPTOQUANT_MCP_URL` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.

## When to use it
- pull an on-chain metric for BTC on a given day
- fetch OHLCV candles for an altcoin
- look up a metric's definition and thresholds
- search CryptoQuant Research articles by topic
- check which assets the server supports

## Example prompts
- Find BTC on-chain endpoints and show me their parameters
- Query the metric for `20260115` and explain what it measures
- Search QuickTake for recent notes about stablecoins
