Crypto Indicators MCP Server

What does “Crypto Indicators” MCP Server do?

The Crypto Indicators MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to provide a comprehensive suite of cryptocurrency technical analysis indicators and trading strategies. It empowers AI trading agents and developers by furnishing real-time access to over 50 trend, momentum, volatility, and volume indicators, as well as corresponding algorithmic strategies that output actionable trading signals (BUY, HOLD, SELL). The server is modular and can be configured to work with Binance by default or any exchange supported by the ccxt library, offering flexibility to adapt to different data sources. Its integration with MCP enables seamless enhancement of AI-powered trading workflows, facilitating tasks such as automated market analysis, backtesting strategies, and generating insights for algorithmic trading systems.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "crypto-indicators-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["path/to/crypto-indicators-mcp/index.js"],

        "API_KEY": "${API_KEY}",
        "API_SECRET": "${API_SECRET}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: Replace "${API_KEY}" and "${API_SECRET}" with references to your environment variables, not raw key values, for security.

How to use this MCP inside flows

Using MCP in FlowHunt

To integrate MCP servers into your FlowHunt workflow, start by adding the MCP component to your flow and connecting it to your AI agent:

Click on the MCP component to open the configuration panel. In the system MCP configuration section, insert your MCP server details using this JSON format:

{
  "crypto-indicators-mcp": {
    "transport": "streamable_http",
    "url": "https://yourmcpserver.example/pathtothemcp/url"
  }
}

Once configured, the AI agent is now able to use this MCP as a tool with access to all its functions and capabilities. Remember to change “crypto-indicators-mcp” to whatever the actual name of your MCP server is and replace the URL with your own MCP server URL.

Overview

Based on the available information, the Crypto Indicators MCP Server is well-documented for core setup and tool exposure, but lacks prompt templates and explicit resource descriptions. It is clearly useful for AI trading agents and quantitative research, but does not provide insight into roots or sampling support. Overall, it is a strong, focused MCP server for its domain.
