文档
TraderSpy MCP
Crypto smart money & AI signals, wired straight into your AI assistant.
17 read-only tools · 4 exchanges · 19 technical indicators · 3 interactive views One URL. No install, no daemon, no broker, no API keys of your own.
Connect Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Grok, Cursor, Cline or any MCP client to TraderSpy's live crypto futures data: AI-generated signals with real targets, whale positioning across four exchanges, prices, candles, indicators, derivatives, a condition screener and an event-study backtester.
You ask: It calls: It reads:
"Which coins are oversold?" → screen_symbols() → top 100 by 24h volume, one pass
"Is BTC still trending?" → get_technical_indicators() → 1h + 4h + 1d in a single call
"What are the whales doing?" → get_positions() → Binance · Hyperliquid · Bybit · OKX
"Is this signal still valid?" → get_signal_details() → live price against entry / TP / SL
"What happens after this setup?" → backtest_condition() → up to 1000 stored candles
Every tool is read-only. This connector cannot place, close or modify an order, it has no withdrawal or transfer tool, and it cannot see anyone's account. It answers questions with public market data. See Security.

Quick start
Everything below points at the same endpoint: https://mcp.traderspy.app/mcp.
Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Grok and Gemini sign in with your TraderSpy account (OAuth), so
there is no key to copy. A free account is enough. Clients that cannot open a sign-in window
(Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, Grok Build, n8n, scripts) use a personal key instead: get it from the
Other clients tab at traderspy.app/mcp. It starts with mcp_,
the page can show it again, and it is revocable at any time.
Claude (web, desktop and mobile)
Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste https://mcp.traderspy.app/mcp, then click
Connect and sign in with your TraderSpy account. No key to paste.
Claude Code
As a plugin — also installs the six skills:
/plugin marketplace add target1m/traderspy-mcp
/plugin install traderspy@traderspy-mcp
Then type /mcp, pick traderspy and choose Authenticate. Your browser opens the TraderSpy
sign-in once; click Allow access and Claude Code keeps the token. Coming from 1.7.0 or earlier,
which asked for a key at install? That key is no longer used: authenticate once the same way.
No browser on that machine (a server, CI)? Export your personal URL before starting Claude Code and the plugin connects with it instead:
export TRADERSPY_MCP_URL="https://mcp.traderspy.app/mcp?token=mcp_YOUR_KEY"
Or as a plain MCP server, then authenticate the same way from /mcp:
claude mcp add --transport http traderspy https://mcp.traderspy.app/mcp
ChatGPT
TraderSpy is in the ChatGPT plugin directory:
- Open chatgpt.com/plugins (or Settings → Plugins), search for TraderSpy and click Connect
- Sign in with your TraderSpy account and click Allow access
- Pick TraderSpy in a chat with @ or from the + menu
Prefer your own connector? Turn on Developer mode in Settings → Security and login, then
click + on the Plugins page, paste https://mcp.traderspy.app/mcp and choose OAuth.
Grok (xAI)
grok.com/connectors → New Connector → Custom, then paste
https://mcp.traderspy.app/mcp. Grok opens the TraderSpy sign-in: sign in and click
Allow access, and leave any client ID and secret fields empty.
No sign-in appeared, or the tools don't answer? Paste your personal URL instead. The key is embedded, so the host's authentication can stay on "None":
https://mcp.traderspy.app/mcp?token=mcp_YOUR_KEY
Grok Build cannot open a sign-in window, so from the terminal it always takes the personal URL:
grok mcp add --transport http traderspy "https://mcp.traderspy.app/mcp?token=mcp_YOUR_KEY"
As a Grok Build plugin (the server plus the six skills), the repo carries .grok-plugin/plugin.json
and .grok-plugin/mcp.json; the xAI plugin marketplace listing is in review. Grok Build has no
install-time prompt for secrets, so the plugin reads your key from TRADERSPY_API_KEY in the
environment that launches grok.
The personal URL also works as a remote MCP tool in the xAI API. Grok speaks Streamable HTTP and SSE — so does this server.
Cursor
As a plugin — also installs the six skills. This repo is a Cursor plugin
(.cursor-plugin/plugin.json + mcp.json): install TraderSpy from the Cursor Marketplace
(listing in review), or clone the repo into ~/.cursor/plugins/local/traderspy and run
Developer: Reload Window. Cursor asks for your key as TRADERSPY_API_KEY at install (change it
later under Plugins → Configure) and sends it as a bearer token; it never lands in your repo.
Or as a plain MCP server — .cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"traderspy": {
"url": "https://mcp.traderspy.app/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer mcp_YOUR_KEY"
}
}
}
}
Cline
cline_mcp_settings.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"traderspy": {
"type": "streamableHttp",
"url": "https://mcp.traderspy.app/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer mcp_YOUR_KEY"
},
"disabled": false,
"autoApprove": []
}
}
}
type must be exactly streamableHttp. streamable-http, or leaving type out, falls back to SSE
and the server answers 405. Full walkthrough: llms-install.md.
Gemini CLI
gemini extensions install https://github.com/target1m/traderspy-mcp
The extension (gemini-extension.json) adds the server and the six skills. It signs in with
OAuth rather than a key: run /mcp auth traderspy once inside Gemini CLI.
In the Gemini app (gemini.google.com or mobile): Settings → Connected apps, add a custom app,
paste https://mcp.traderspy.app/mcp and sign in. Google offers custom apps only in the US, in
English, on a personal Google account with Keep Activity on.
Windsurf and other MCP clients
The personal URL works in any client that takes an MCP server URL:
{
"traderspy": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.traderspy.app/mcp?token=mcp_YOUR_KEY"
}
}
A client that implements MCP authorization can take the bare URL instead: the server answers an
unauthenticated tool call with 401 and a WWW-Authenticate header, which starts its sign-in. That
works when the client's OAuth callback is a loopback address (http://localhost:<port>,
http://127.0.0.1:<port>) or one of the hosts above. Custom-scheme callbacks (cursor://,
vscode://) and other web callbacks are refused at registration, so those clients use the personal
URL.
What it answers
The server publishes this routing to the model itself, so you rarely have to name a tool:
| You ask about | It calls |
|---|---|
| Price, 24h change, volume | get_price — several symbols in one call |
| OHLCV for charting | get_candles |
| "Analyse X", oversold, trend, support/resistance | get_technical_indicators — up to 3 timeframes per call |
| Funding, open interest, long/short, taker flow | get_derivatives |
| "Which coins are…", "find setups", "compare A B C" | screen_symbols |
| "What usually happens after…" | backtest_condition |
| AI signals, their detail, their track record | get_signals · get_signal_details · get_signal_stats |
| Whales, best traders, who is long X | get_top_traders · get_elite_leaderboard · get_trader_profile · get_trader_position_history · get_positions |
| Coverage and venue context | get_tracked_symbols · get_exchanges · get_market_stats |
Batch, don't loop. Calls are metered per day, and the tools are built so one call replaces many:
several symbols in a single get_price, three timeframes in a single get_technical_indicators
(one quota unit, and you get the confluence across them), and screen_symbols instead of running
indicators symbol by symbol.
Tool catalogue
17 tools, every one read-only, every one annotated readOnlyHint: true.
Signals — 3 tools
| Tool | What it returns |
|---|---|
get_signals | Recent AI signals with filtering — symbol, side, entry, TP1–TP3, stop, strength, validation score |
get_signal_details | One signal in full: AI review, trigger conditions, every level as an absolute price, realised outcome, and the live price to judge whether it still applies |
get_signal_stats | Track record over a period — win rate, profit factor, resolution breakdown |
Smart money — 7 tools
| Tool | What it returns |
|---|---|
get_top_traders | Ranked traders per exchange, by the metric you choose |
get_elite_leaderboard | Top 10 by SmartScore (weighted PnL, win rate, ROI, consistency, longevity, depth, recency) |
get_trader_profile | One trader: metrics plus their open positions |
get_trader_position_history | That trader's closed trades |
get_positions | Live and historical smart-money positions, filterable by symbol and exchange |
get_market_stats | Aggregate long/short and notional across tracked traders |
get_exchanges | Which venues are tracked and enabled |
Market data & research — 7 tools
| Tool | What it returns |
|---|---|
get_price | Real-time price, 24h high/low, volume and change% — one or many symbols |
get_candles | OHLCV for 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, 1d |
get_technical_indicators | 19 indicators — RSI, MACD, EMA, SMA, Bollinger, ATR, ADX, Stochastic, OBV, VWAP, CCI, MFI, Williams %R, ROC, SuperTrend, Ichimoku, Keltner, pivots, swing S/R. Each carries value + previous bar + direction + a history series. Multi-timeframe (intervals, ≤ 3) with a per-timeframe summary and a cross-timeframe confluence; custom periods; RSI/MACD divergence, Fibonacci retracement, volume profile, ATR percentile, TTM squeeze and candlestick patterns |
get_derivatives | Funding (current, 24h/3d average, annualised), open interest (24h/4h change, OI×price regime), top-trader and all-account long/short ratios, taker flow — up to 5 Binance perpetuals, with the interpretation traders actually quote |
screen_symbols | Scan the most-traded pairs (≤ 100, ranked by 24h volume) or an explicit list, for up to 3 AND-ed conditions over 17 metrics — rsi, stochastic, cci, mfi, williamsR, adx, roc, macdHistogram, atrPct, volumeRatio, bbPercentB, bbWidthPct, priceVsEma, emaSpread, supertrend, changePct, price — with lt / gt / crossAbove / crossBelow. One quota unit. Drop the conditions and pass symbols to get a comparison table instead |
backtest_condition | Event study on one symbol and timeframe: every occurrence over the stored tape (≤ 1000 candles), forward return / win rate / best and worst excursion per horizon, the unconditional baseline and the edge over it, the last five episodes, and whether the condition is live right now |
get_tracked_symbols | Every symbol with real-time data available |
Interactive views
In hosts that support MCP Apps, three tools render a real interface instead of a wall of text. Every view is a single self-contained HTML bundle with a deny-all CSP — it makes no network call of its own, because the data arrives inside the tool result.
| Tool | View |
|---|---|
get_signals | A card carousel — each card charts 24h of price with the entry, the next unreached take-profit and the stop drawn across it. Pages through the full result set, it never shows a silent slice |
get_signal_details | One signal: chart with a price scale, the live price, entry / exit / level-hit markers judged on wicks, every level as an absolute price, the realised outcome and the validation meters |
get_technical_indicators | Per timeframe a 96-bar chart with EMA lines, the SuperTrend band and swing / pivot support-resistance drawn across it, the summary's notes, one chip per indicator and a levels table. Several timeframes become tabs; footer buttons re-run the tool for 1h / 4h / 1d |
Verified on claude.ai web with the deployed connector. Hosts without MCP Apps get the same data as text and structured content — nothing degrades.
Skills
The plugin ships six skills: playbooks that tell the assistant which tools answer which question,
how to read the fields, and how to present the result without turning market data into advice. They
live in skills/<name>/SKILL.md (Agent Skills format) and load automatically in Claude Code,
Cursor, Grok Build and Gemini CLI. For the ChatGPT plugin portal, run scripts/package-skills.sh
and upload the ZIPs from dist/skills/.
Any other Agent Skills client can install them with the skills CLI. The skills need the MCP server connected, as shown in Quick start:
npx skills add target1m/traderspy-mcp # all six
npx skills add target1m/traderspy-mcp --skill market-briefing # just one
| Skill | Triggers on | Tools it drives |
|---|---|---|
market-briefing | "what's happening in crypto", "morning brief", "market update" | price, derivatives, screener, signal stats, signals |
technical-analysis | "analyse BTC", "is SOL oversold", support/resistance, funding, open interest | technical indicators (multi-timeframe), derivatives, price, candles |
market-screener | "which coins are oversold", "find setups", "compare BTC ETH SOL", "what happened after…" | screener, backtest |
trading-signals | "latest AI signals", "is this signal still valid", "how are the signals doing" | signals, signal details, signal stats |
smart-money | "what are whales doing", "best traders on Hyperliquid", "research this trader" | leaderboard, top traders, positions, profile, history, market stats |
position-check | "how far am I from liquidation", "what do you think of my long", a pasted position | technicals, derivatives, positions |
Every skill carries the same conduct rules: report what the data shows and leave the decision to the user, never present a hit rate or a backtest as a forecast, and say plainly that the connector cannot place, close or move anything.
Authentication and limits
Two ways to connect, both tied to your TraderSpy account:
- Sign in (OAuth 2.1, recommended) — Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Grok and Gemini take the bare
URL and open the TraderSpy sign-in (dynamic client registration, PKCE, scope
mcp.read). There is nothing to copy, and the host renews its own token. - Personal key — for clients that cannot open a sign-in window. Get it from the Other clients
tab at traderspy.app/mcp and send it as
Authorization: Bearer mcp_…, or embed it in the URL (https://mcp.traderspy.app/mcp?token=mcp_...) for hosts whose authentication can only be "None".
Treat a personal URL like a password: anyone holding it can spend your daily quota. If it leaks, regenerate it on the same page and the old URL stops working at once. Disconnect all apps on the same page signs every connected assistant out, sign-ins and the personal key alike. Both take effect on the very next call.
| Plan | Daily calls | Data |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 300 | Real-time, except top-trader position rows (15-minute delay) |
| Premium | 5,000 | Real-time |
A multi-timeframe get_technical_indicators and a 100-symbol screen_symbols each cost one call,
deliberately — the cheap way to use the connector is also the fast one.
Don't have an account? Sign up free.
Security
This connector's security model is mostly a list of things that do not exist.
| Scope | How you authenticate | What it can reach |
|---|---|---|
| Anonymous | nothing | the tool catalogue only — tools/list, so directories can index it. Every actual call is refused. Claude, Claude Code and Grok get a 401 on their first request instead, which is what opens their sign-in |
| OAuth | sign in from the host | all public market data |
| Personal key | mcp_… as a bearer token or ?token= | the same |
What no credential can do here:
- No order tool. Placing, closing or modifying an order does not exist. The order tools were not hidden or feature-flagged; they were deleted.
- No withdrawal, transfer or deposit tool.
- No account tool. Nothing reads a balance or a position, and the connector has no client toward the trading service at all, so no code path can reach an account even by mistake.
- No standing rules. It cannot create alerts, subscriptions or automations on your account.
Two reasons, and the second is the load-bearing one. First, the Anthropic Software Directory Policy
excludes software that executes financial transactions on a user's behalf — and hiding such tools at
call time is not enough, they must not appear in tools/list. Second, an MCP credential is a
long-lived bearer token handed to a third-party host: everything it can reach is reachable by whoever
holds it. So it reaches reads only.
Trading belongs in the TraderSpy web app or mobile app, where you are present for it.
Data sources
| Source | What comes from it | Freshness |
|---|---|---|
| TraderSpy AI signal engine | Signals, targets, stops, validation scores, realised outcomes | Evaluated on cron; published only after validation |
| Smart-money trackers | Whale positions, leaderboards, trade history | 5–60 min per exchange |
| Candle store | Prices, OHLCV, every indicator, the screener and the backtester | Live candle plus the last 1000 closed |
| Binance Futures public API | Funding, open interest, long/short ratios, taker flow | 60s cache |
Coverage is the Binance USDⓈ-M perpetual universe, plus perpetuals that trade on Hyperliquid but not
on Binance. get_tracked_symbols is the authoritative list.

Morning brief
"Give me a crypto morning brief: what moved, where funding is stretched, and what the AI signals fired overnight."
Find a setup
"Run the screener: RSI under 30 and ADX above 25 on the 4h, top 100 by volume. For anything it finds, show me the multi-timeframe read."
Check a thesis before acting
"Historically, what happened on SOLUSDT 4h after RSI crossed above 30? Compare it against the baseline over the same tape."
Follow the whales
"Who are the most profitable traders on Hyperliquid right now, and what are they positioned in? Then show me the position history of the top one."
Judge a signal
"Is the latest BTC signal still valid? Show me where price is against its entry, targets and stop."
Check a position you hold elsewhere
"I'm long ETH from 2,400 at 10x. How far is liquidation, and what do the 1h/4h/1d indicators say about it?"
Compare coins
"Compare BTC, ETH and SOL on the 4h: trend, momentum, funding and open interest."
