CryptoPanic News MCP Server

Overview

CryptoPanic News MCP server allows AI agents to access the latest cryptocurrency news, analysis, and videos directly from the CryptoPanic platform. This integration enables you to stay updated on the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency market without leaving your AI assistant conversation.

Prerequisites

Before using this MCP server, you'll need:

1. A CryptoPanic API key (obtain one at https://cryptopanic.com/developers/api/)
2. Python installed on your system

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/kukapay/cryptopanic-mcp-server.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd cryptopanic-mcp-server
   

3. Install dependencies using uv or pip:

   uv install
   

4. Configure your AI assistant client (like Claude or Cursor) by adding the following to your configuration file:

"mcpServers": {
  "cryptopanic-mcp-server": {
    "command": "uv",
    "args": [
      "--directory", "/your/path/to/cryptopanic-mcp-server",
      "run",
      "main.py"
    ],
    "env": {
      "CRYPTOPANIC_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
    }
  }
}

Replace /your/path/to/cryptopanic-mcp-server with the actual path to the cloned repository and your_api_key_here with your CryptoPanic API key.

Usage

Once installed, you can ask your AI assistant to fetch cryptocurrency news using natural language. For example:

• "Get me the latest cryptocurrency news"
• "Show me recent crypto analysis articles"
• "What are the latest developments in the crypto market?"

The AI will use the get_crypto_news tool to retrieve the information from CryptoPanic and present it to you in a readable format.

Limitations

• The free tier of the CryptoPanic API has rate limits, so excessive requests may be throttled
• The maximum number of pages that can be fetched at once is 10
• Content is limited to what's available through the CryptoPanic platform
