What is the Tickory MCP MCP server?

Tickory MCP MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Tickory MCP server wrapper for saved scans, ad hoc scan execution, and relay routing.

What you get

Real-time crypto scanner alerts, ad hoc scan execution, and TradingView relay routing, delivered straight to your AI agent.

What the assistant can call

Once Tickory MCP is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • tickory_list_scans — List scans visible to the API key owner
  • tickory_get_scan — Fetch one scan by ID
  • tickory_create_scan — Create a new scan with CEL expression and hard gates
  • tickory_update_scan — Replace an existing scan definition
  • tickory_run_scan — Trigger a scan run immediately
  • tickory_run_ad_hoc_scan — Execute a one-off expression immediately without creating a saved scan
  • tickory_describe_indicators — Describe available CEL variables, recommended guards, and example expressions
  • tickory_list_alert_events — List alert events with cursor pagination
  • tickory_get_alert_event — Fetch one alert event by UUID
  • tickory_explain_alert_event — Explain why an alert triggered or was suppressed
  • tickory_create_relay_source — Create a TradingView relay source and return the paste-ready TradingView setup payload
  • tickory_list_relay_sources — List TradingView relay sources and direct-route summaries

Setting it up

@tickory/mcp on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

Configuration and credentials

You will need 2 environment variables: TICKORY_API_BASE_URL, TICKORY_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

Choosing this one

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. Tickory MCP's toolset — tickory_list_scans, tickory_get_scan, tickory_create_scan and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by tickory; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Before you rely on it

  • 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.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Tickory MCP.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the tickory mcp mcp server does with a few real requests.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Tickory MCP to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 14 tools (tickory_list_scans, tickory_get_scan, tickory_create_scan, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Tickory MCP directly.
