get_crypto_newsLABSCO SUMMARY
Crypto headlines, on tap.
One tool, one job: get current crypto news into the conversation so an agent is working from today's headlines rather than stale training data. It needs a CryptoPanic API key; the kind and page controls are the only knobs, which is the right amount for what it does.
What it is
A single-tool MCP server that pulls recent cryptocurrency news from CryptoPanic and hands the headlines to an AI agent.
What you get
- Recent crypto news headlines, choosing content type (
newsormedia) and how many pages to fetch, up to 10 —get_crypto_news
Requirements
A CryptoPanic API key, in CRYPTOPANIC_API_KEY; CRYPTOPANIC_API_PLAN is optional and defaults to developer. Launched with uv --directory <YOUR_PATH_TO_CRYPTOPANIC_MCP_SERVER> run main.py, pointed at your install path. MIT licensed.
Setup effort
Clone and run — clone the repository, then add the configuration for your client; uv runs the script from your clone, with nothing to build
USE CASES
01
Bringing an agent up to date on the market
Fetch the latest crypto news headlines so it reasons from current events, not memory.
02
Pulling more than one page of news
Ask for several pages at once, up to ten, when a single page is not enough.
