What is the Free Crypto News MCP server?

Real-time crypto news aggregator with AI analysis, 12+ sources, sentiment tracking, and full market data. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Discord, Telegram & more. That is what the free crypto news mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

The short version

Quick Start • SDKs • API • CLI • Docker • K8s • Docs

  • Auto-translation to English via Groq AI
  • 7-day translation cache for efficiency
  • Original + English text preserved
  • Rate-limited (1 req/sec) to respect APIs
  • Fallback handling for unavailable sources
  • Deduplication across sources

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 2 tools. What each one is for:

  • Page — Description
  • Features — See API docs for full details

Getting it running

The server ships on npm as @anthropic-ai/mcp-server-crypto-news, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: BASE_URL. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

How it compares

Among the team communication options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Free Crypto News's toolset — Page, Features — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by nirholas; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Free Crypto News's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
