加密货币市场情报MCP服务器

kaito-mcp-server

MCP proxy for the Kaito AI crypto market intelligence API. It provides tools and prompt templates for sentiment analysis, mindshare tracking, social intelligence, and more.

Getting Started

A Kaito API key is required. Get one from Telegram or email support@kaito.ai.

Option A: Direct HTTP

For MCP clients that support remote HTTP servers and let you set a static Authorization header (e.g., Claude Code):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kaito": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://bff.kaito.ai/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

No local installation required.

Note: Clients whose remote-MCP UI is OAuth-only — including Claude Desktop's Custom Connectors and Claude.ai (web) — are not compatible with Kaito's static Bearer-token auth. Use Option B on those clients.

Option B: npx (stdio proxy)

For MCP clients that only support local stdio servers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kaito": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "kaito-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "KAITO_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

This runs a thin local proxy that forwards all requests to the Kaito API over HTTP.

Client-specific setup

Claude.ai (web)

Not currently supported — Claude.ai web's Custom Connectors UI requires OAuth, but the Kaito API uses static Bearer tokens. Use Claude Code or Claude Desktop with Option B instead.

Claude Desktop (one-click)

Download the latest kaito-mcp-server.mcpb and open it — Claude Desktop will handle the rest.

Note: MCPB installs a pinned version and does not auto-update. To get the latest version, re-download the .mcpb from the latest release — or switch to the standard configuration which uses @latest to always pull the newest version.

Claude Desktop (manual)

Add Option B to your claude_desktop_config.json:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Note: Option A (HTTP) is not supported here — claude_desktop_config.json only accepts stdio entries, and Claude Desktop's Settings → Connectors UI requires OAuth.

Claude Code

HTTP (recommended):

# If you previously used the npx setup, remove it first:
claude mcp remove kaito

# Then add the HTTP server:
claude mcp add kaito --transport http https://bff.kaito.ai/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

stdio (alternative):

claude mcp add kaito -e KAITO_API_KEY=your-api-key -- npx -y kaito-mcp-server@latest

VS Code

Add the following to .vscode/mcp.json (workspace) or your user-profile mcp.json (open via the MCP: Open User Configuration command).

HTTP (recommended):

{
  "servers": {
    "kaito": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://bff.kaito.ai/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

stdio (alternative):

{
  "servers": {
    "kaito": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "kaito-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "KAITO_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global).

HTTP (recommended):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kaito": {
      "url": "https://bff.kaito.ai/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

stdio (alternative): paste Option B.

Other MCP Clients

For any MCP-compatible client, the server can be started with:

KAITO_API_KEY=your-api-key npx -y kaito-mcp-server@latest

The transport is stdio. Use this command in your client's MCP server configuration.

Recommended Skills

Pair this MCP server with kaito-skills — curated Agent Skills (social listening, mindshare pulse, etc.) that use the tools below. Works in Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code + Copilot, and 40+ other agents.

Reference Data

Use kaito_entities and kaito_narratives to list or search supported token and narrative identifiers. The hosted MCP endpoint does not currently expose the kaito://tokens and kaito://narratives resources from the former standalone server.

Prompt Templates

Clients with MCP prompt support can list these templates with prompts/list and retrieve one with prompts/get. For example, this JSON-RPC request retrieves instructions for analyzing BTC over seven days:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "prompts/get",
  "params": {
    "name": "analyze_token",
    "arguments": { "token": "BTC", "duration": "7d" }
  }
}

The response contains prompt messages for the client to use. To call a tool directly, send tools/call. For example, this request gets smart-following market signals for organizations, sorted by follower change:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "kaito_smart_following_market",
    "arguments": {
      "duration": "7d",
      "sort_by": "followers_change",
      "user_tag_individual_or_organization": "Organization"
    }
  }
}

Development

git clone https://github.com/MetaSearch-IO/kaito-mcp-server.git
cd kaito-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build

Testing

The local prompt-forwarding integration test runs without a Kaito API key:

npm run build && npm test

To also run the live API integration tests:

KAITO_API_KEY=your-key npm test

The live API tests are skipped if KAITO_API_KEY is not set.
