Oblique Markets — Claude Code MCP server: setup
Connect an agent to Oblique Markets APIs for market data, company research, web extraction, and text tools. Paid calls require payment through a supported protocol.
claude mcp add --transport http oblique-markets https://api.oblique.markets/mcpWhat Oblique Markets does
Oblique Markets exposes tools that can fetch crypto prices, check Base transactions, research companies, extract web content, and transform text. A separate free server offers market data, provider lookup, and experiment results. Both connect over Streamable HTTP and use stateless JSON-RPC 2.0.
Paid tools charge per call. An unpaid request returns a 402 response with the exact amount; the agent must retry after payment. Payment options are x402 with USDC on Base or Solana, and MPP with pathUSD on Tempo. You’ll need a wallet for paid calls. In Claude Code, add the server with claude mcp add --transport http oblique-markets https://api.oblique.markets/mcp.
