How to Set Up and Use Crypto Indicators
The Crypto Indicators MCP server delivers over 50 cryptocurrency technical analysis indicators and corresponding trading-signal strategies directly to AI assistants. It connects to any CCXT-compatible exchange (defaulting to Binance) to fetch live OHLCV price data and computes trend, momentum, volatility, and volume indicators — including MACD, RSI, Bollinger Bands, Ichimoku Cloud, VWAP, and more. Each indicator has a companion strategy tool that returns a structured BUY, SELL, or HOLD signal, making it practical for building AI-assisted trading research and market analysis workflows.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ and npm installed
- Git to clone the repository
- An MCP-compatible AI client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)
- Internet access to reach the cryptocurrency exchange API (default: Binance — no API key required for public market data)
Clone the repository
Download the crypto-indicators-mcp source code to your local machine.
git clone https://github.com/kukapay/crypto-indicators-mcp.git
cd crypto-indicators-mcpInstall dependencies
Install the Node.js dependencies including the CCXT exchange library and technical analysis packages.
npm installConfigure the exchange (optional)
By default the server connects to Binance for market data. Set the EXCHANGE_NAME environment variable to use any other CCXT-supported exchange such as Coinbase, Kraken, or OKX.
export EXCHANGE_NAME=binanceAdd the server to your MCP client configuration
Register the server in your claude_desktop_config.json pointing to the index.js entry point. Set EXCHANGE_NAME in the env block to override the default exchange.

Example prompts for technical analysis and trading signal generation across the 50+ available indicators.
- "Calculate the MACD for BTC/USDT on the 1-hour timeframe"
- "What is the RSI strategy signal for ETH/USDT on the 4-hour chart?"
- "Show Bollinger Bands for SOL/USDT with a 20-period window"
- "Get the VWAP for BNB/USDT on the daily timeframe"
- "What does the Ichimoku Cloud signal for BTC/USDT right now?"Troubleshooting Crypto Indicators
Server fails with 'Exchange not found' or CCXT errors on startup
Verify that the value of EXCHANGE_NAME is a valid CCXT exchange ID (e.g., 'binance', 'coinbasepro', 'kraken'). Run 'node -e "const ccxt = require(\"ccxt\"); console.log(ccxt.exchanges)"' to list valid IDs.
No data returned for a trading pair
Check that the pair symbol format matches the exchange convention (e.g., 'BTC/USDT' not 'BTCUSDT'). Some exchanges use different base/quote separators. Verify the pair is actively traded on your chosen exchange.
Strategy tool returns HOLD when a clear signal is expected
HOLD (0) means the indicator is in a neutral zone. Try a different timeframe — shorter timeframes (1h, 4h) react faster than daily. Combining multiple indicators gives a more reliable signal than any single one.
