Crypto Sentiment MCP Server

An MCP server that delivers cryptocurrency sentiment analysis to AI agents.

Installation

Add the following to your MCP client configuration file.

Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kukapay-crypto-sentiment-mcp": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "path/to/crypto-sentiment-mcp",
        "run",
        "main.py"
      ],
      "env": {
        "SANTIMENT_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

This MCP server delivers cryptocurrency sentiment analysis and social metrics to AI agents by integrating Santiment’s data, enabling you to track market mood, monitor social volume, and surface trending terms for selected assets.

How to use

You interact with this server through an MCP client. Ask for sentiment, social volume, dominance, or trending words for a specific cryptocurrency, and you receive concise, actionable results. Use plain language queries like: “What is Bitcoin’s sentiment balance over the last 7 days?” or “Show Ethereum’s social volume for the past 5 days.” The server computes the asked metric by calling the available tools and returns a straightforward result.

How to install

Prerequisites include Python 3.10 or higher and a Santiment API key.

Clone the MCP server repository and prepare your environment.

git clone https://github.com/kukapay/crypto-sentiment-mcp.git
cd crypto-sentiment-mcp

Configure the MCP client to run the server locally by providing the runtime command, the directory path to the server, and your Santiment API key.

      "env": {
        "SANTIMENT_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Notes on configuration and running

The above configuration shows how to start the server locally using the MCP runner. The environment variable SANTIMENT_API_KEY must be provided with your Santiment key. The command uses uv to execute the server located in the specified directory.
