Overview

The cryptopanic-mcp-server is an MCP server that provides the latest cryptocurrency news and media to AI agents. It is powered by CryptoPanic and utilizes Node.js. The server exposes a single tool, `get_crypto_news`, which can fetch content of type 'news' or 'media' across a specified number of pages. Use this server when your AI agents need access to up-to-date information on cryptocurrency trends, market movements, and regulatory news. It is suitable for applications requiring real-time financial news feeds integrated via an MCP architecture.

What it does

Provides the latest cryptocurrency news to AI agents, powered by CryptoPanic. It exposes a single tool:

get_crypto_news(kind: str = "news", num_pages: int = 1) -> str

kind selects the content type (news or media); num_pages controls how many pages to fetch (default 1, max 10). A call returns a list of current headlines, e.g. "Bitcoin Breaks $60k Resistance Amid ETF Optimism."

Inputs and outputs

Requires a CryptoPanic API key and plan. Configure the server with:

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

Who it's for

AI agents and assistants that need a live feed of crypto news and media headlines without building a CryptoPanic integration from scratch. Licensed MIT.

Who else it's for

Developers building a crypto-focused chatbot or dashboard who want a ready-made news feed tool instead of writing their own CryptoPanic client and pagination logic.
