Summary
One sentiment number, with its history attached.
The index on its own is a headline; the useful question is where it sits against the last month, and that is what the trend call answers — latest value, average and direction over the window you name. Sentiment is one input among many, and this makes it a cheap one to have in the conversation.
What it is
A feed of the Fear & Greed Index published by Alternative.me. The current value comes with its classification, the history covers however many days you ask for, and a third call turns that window into a trend.
What you get
- The latest index value with its classification and timestamp
- Historical values over a number of days you choose
- A trend read over that window: latest value, average and direction
- The same data offered as MCP resources as well as tools, for clients that prefer either
- A prompt for interpreting a reading in market terms
Requirements
A recent Python and network access. No account and no key — Alternative.me publishes the index openly.
Setup effort
One command — uvx crypto-feargreed-mcp
