Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Read-only crypto market data: prices, funding, open interest, DeFi TVL, stablecoins. No API keys.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Crypto & blockchain

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "crypto-pulse": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "crypto-pulse-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add crypto-pulse -- npx -y crypto-pulse-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "crypto-pulse": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "crypto-pulse-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "crypto-pulse": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "crypto-pulse-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Crypto Pulse MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 18 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

crypto-pulse-mcp

Read-only crypto market data for AI assistants, over the Model Context Protocol. Ask Claude (or any MCP client) about prices, funding, open interest, DeFi TVL and stablecoin flows and get structured answers from public APIs. No API keys. No trading. No account access.

ToolWhat it answers
get_priceSpot price, 24h change/range/volume on Bybit and Binance, and the gap between the two
get_derivativesPerpetual funding rate (also annualised), basis, open interest and its ratio to volume
get_market_overviewTop coins by market cap or volume, 24h change, distance from ATH, market breadth (CoinGecko)
get_defi_tvlTop chains by TVL, one chain with its top protocols (e.g. Solana, Stellar), or one protocol (DefiLlama)
get_stablecoinsLargest USD stablecoins, supply share and 1d/7d/30d supply change, a rough proxy for money entering or leaving crypto

Example prompts once it is connected:

  • "Is SOL trading at a premium on Bybit compared with Binance right now?"
  • "What is BTC funding doing? Are longs crowded?"
  • "How big is Stellar DeFi, and which protocols lead it?"
  • "Is stablecoin supply growing or shrinking this week?"

Example

Asked in Claude Code with the server connected (snapshot, 22 Oct 2026):

Is SOL at a premium on Bybit vs Binance? What is BTC funding doing? How big is Stellar DeFi?

  • SOL (`get_price`): no premium. $103.82 on Bybit, $103.83 on Binance, about 0.01% apart.
  • BTC funding (`get_derivatives`): slightly negative, -0.0041% per 8h on Bybit (about -4.5% a year), so shorts are paying longs. Longs do not look crowded.
  • Stellar DeFi (`get_defi_tvl`): about $241M TVL, #18 among chains. Top protocol: Blend Pools V2, about $140M.

Install

Requires Node.js 20 or newer. The quickest way is npx, no clone needed:

claude mcp add crypto-pulse -- npx -y crypto-pulse-mcp

On Windows, run it from cmd (PowerShell swallows the --) and wrap npx so Claude Code can start it:

claude mcp add crypto-pulse -- cmd /c npx -y crypto-pulse-mcp

Add -s user to make it available in every folder, not just the current project.

Published on npm and in the official MCP Registry as io.github.markankamaransheogarat-sys/crypto-pulse-mcp.

To run it from source instead:

git clone https://github.com/markankamaransheogarat-sys/crypto-pulse-mcp.git

cd crypto-pulse-mcp npm install npm run build

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "crypto-pulse": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "crypto-pulse-mcp"] } } }

On Windows use "command": "cmd" with "args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "crypto-pulse-mcp"].

Claude Code
claude mcp add crypto-pulse -- node /absolute/path/to/crypto-pulse-mcp/dist/index.js

Any other MCP client that can launch a stdio server works the same way.

Details worth knowing

  • Symbols. BTC, ETH/USDT, SOLUSDT and doge-usdt all work; a bare coin means a USDT pair.
  • One exchange down is not a failure. get_price and get_derivatives query both exchanges in parallel. If one is unreachable (Binance is geo-blocked in some countries), you still get the other, with an errors field saying so. An unknown symbol is reported as "not listed", not as an outage.
  • Caching. Responses are cached briefly (5 s for exchange tickers, 60 s for CoinGecko, 5 min for DefiLlama) to stay inside free-tier rate limits. Simultaneous identical requests share one call.
  • Funding sign. Positive funding means longs pay shorts. annualizedFundingPct assumes today's rate holds for a year, which it will not; read it as a scale, not a forecast.
  • DefiLlama CEX entries (exchange wallet balances) are excluded from per-chain protocol rankings.
  • Not financial advice. These are snapshots of public data and can be seconds to minutes old.

Development

npm run typecheck   # tsc --noEmit over src and tests

npm test # vitest, all HTTP mocked npm run build # compile to dist/ node scripts/smoke.mjs # live check: starts the built server and calls every tool against the real APIs

Layout: src/sources/* talk to one API each and return normalised shapes, src/tools/* hold the logic and register one MCP tool each, src/http.ts is the shared client (timeout, bounded retries, TTL cache), src/symbols.ts normalises symbols.
