CryptoStruct MCP Server
The CryptoStruct MCP server lets AI agents — Claude, Cursor, or any Model Context Protocol client — search our historical market-data catalog, read live market statistics, and buy tick-data files and prediction-market / option-chain day bundles directly from a conversation. The catalog behind the tools is the complete venue feed — every message, every instrument, every venue, every day, captured co-located at institutional grade — priced at 1 EUR per instrument-day or series-day. No API key needed for the free tier; optionally sign in via OAuth to reach your orders, pay with your credits, and unlock Premium depth. Card payment happens in the browser via Stripe checkout; credits are spent only with your consent — an approval page by default, or autonomously within limits you set.

Tools
Catalog & discovery
Find instruments and understand what the archive holds — free, no auth.
search_instruments— Search ~416K instruments across 33 venues by ticker, base asset or id, with class/venue filters.list_venues— All covered venues with the archive headline numbers.get_instrument— Master data + coverage summary for one instrument id.get_coverage— Day-level coverage: first/last day, gaps, total size — check before you buy.get_data_dictionary— File format, message types, integrity guarantees, pricing and links.list_sample_files— Free full-day sample files with direct download URLs.get_price_quote— EUR quote for a basket of tick files and/or series-day bundles (per-series prices), with per-item availability.
Day bundles
Prediction-market series (Kalshi, Polymarket) and Deribit option chains are sold as series-day bundles: one item is every contract file of a series on one UTC day, priced per series (mostly 1 EUR). These tools resolve a series to its bundle_id and list its sellable days; buying and delivery use the generic tools with kind series_day — each purchased day arrives as one zip (or tar over 4 GB).
search_bundles— Search ~1,900 bundles by text, class (prediction / option), venue, category or interval — returns bundle_id, series_key, price, covered days and delivery mode.get_bundle_coverage— Sellable days of one bundle (newest first, pageable) with file count, bytes, price, trades/turnover where captured, and partial-day flags.get_bundle_sample— One free contract file of the series — the same format as purchased bundle members — with a direct download URL.
Market statistics
The same 1-minute/daily aggregates the analyze pages chart: OHLC, VWAP, trades, turnover, spreads, top-of-book depth.
get_market_snapshot— Live snapshot: last price, 24h change, 60-min turnover/trades, spread (bps), top-1/top-20 depth.get_daily_stats— Daily OHLC/VWAP/turnover series over 30/90/180 days with a window summary. Premium: 365d and max (full history).get_hourly_stats— Hourly OHLC/VWAP/turnover/spread/depth series over 7/30/90 days. Premium: 180d.get_slippage— Market-impact ladder: reachable notional within X bps of mid, time-averaged over 1h. Premium: 24h and 7d.get_minutes_range— [Premium] Historical per-minute series (1h/3h/6h windows, any UTC hour within ~30-day retention) incl. data-quality fields — event studies.get_top_instruments— Top instruments by live 24h turnover across all venues.get_movers— 24h gainers and losers per class with a minimum-turnover floor.
Your account (sign-in required)
Connect with OAuth sign-in and the agent can work with your CryptoStruct account directly.
list_my_orders— Your order history: status, totals, credits applied, invoice PDFs, tokenized order links.get_my_files— Every file you own as a flat list with delivery state and direct download URLs (owner links never expire).get_my_subscription— Premium status, credit balance, the latest credit-ledger entries and your agent-spending settings (mode, caps, spent today).preview_checkout— Dry run of a purchase: already-owned files, unavailable days, credit cover — and whether create_checkout will complete from credits, ask for your approval, or hand over a Stripe URL.
Buying data
The agent assembles the purchase; you stay in control of the money. Card payments happen in the browser via Stripe. Credits (signed-in) are spent only with your consent: by default every agent order lands on an approval page you confirm; opt into autonomous mode in your account to let fully credit-covered orders complete within your per-order and daily limits. Tick files are 1 EUR per instrument-day — the raw tick file with every order-book update, trade and liquidation; day bundles (kind series_day) are priced per series, mostly 1 EUR for every contract file of that series on one UTC day. (1-minute statistics are an analytics export, not a shop item: rolling 24 h free, rolling 7 days and any recorded day with Premium.)
create_checkout— Start a purchase (max 365 items per checkout; tick files and/or series-day bundles). Card: returns a Stripe checkout URL to open in the browser. Credits: returns approval_required with an approval_url for you to confirm — or, in autonomous mode and within your caps, the order completes immediately. Optional max_credit_cents lets the agent cap its own spend.get_checkout_status— Poll the checkout by session_id (card) or order_id (signed-in; credit/approval orders); once paid it returns the order id and download token.get_order_files— List a paid order's files with delivery state and direct download URLs — day bundles come with a zip (or tar) URL per day plus status/restore URLs.request_file_restore— Wake an archived (cold-storage) tick file — restores take up to ~12 hours (bundle days restore via their restore_url).
Buying data from an agent
- search_instruments — find the instrument and note its instrument_id (day bundles: search_bundles → bundle_id, then get_bundle_coverage instead of get_coverage; items use kind series_day)
- get_coverage — confirm the days you need exist
- get_price_quote — total price in EUR (signed in: preview_checkout also shows owned files, credit cover and what create_checkout will do)
- create_checkout — card: returns a Stripe checkout URL to open in the browser; credits: returns an approval_url to confirm, or completes on its own if you enabled autonomous mode within your limits
- get_checkout_status — poll (session_id or order_id) until "paid"; returns order_id + download_token
- get_order_files — per-file download URLs (ready / restoring / archived); bundle days: one zip_url or tar_url per day
Premium & sign-in
The free tier mirrors what the website shows — same windows, same limits, keyless. Signing in connects the agent to your CryptoStruct account; CryptoStruct Premium (20 EUR/month, the same subscription that powers the deep analyze views) unlocks the deep windows on top. Shop files stay 1 EUR per instrument-day for everyone; day bundles keep their per-series price.
What sign-in adds (free account)
- Account tools: list_my_orders, get_my_files (never-expiring download links), get_my_subscription.
- Checkout knows you: email optional, already-owned files are dropped, and your credits pay (1 credit = 1 EUR = 1 file-day) — with your approval, or autonomously within the limits you set on the Agents tab.
- Your own call budget, keyed to your account instead of your IP.

Connect · claude.ai / Claude Desktop (sign-in)
Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → https://cryptostruct.com/mcp/authThe /mcp/auth endpoint asks for sign-in on connect (OAuth in the browser). Same tools as /mcp.

claude mcp login cryptostructConnect · Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json, sign-in)
{ "mcpServers": { "cryptostruct": { "url": "https://cryptostruct.com/mcp/auth" } } }Sign-in uses OAuth against our Clerk account system — the agent never sees your password, and you can revoke access anytime from your account. Keyless use keeps working unchanged; tools and parameters beyond your tier answer AUTH_REQUIRED / PREMIUM_REQUIRED with an upgrade link.
Fair use & rate limits
Anonymous access shares a per-IP budget (weighted per tool call); signed-in callers get their own per-account budget, and Premium raises it 5x. On a RATE_LIMITED error, back off for the indicated seconds. For sustained programmatic scale beyond that — batch queries, bulk exports — the pricing page lists the enterprise options.
Units & conventions
Market values (turnover, depth) are USD; sale prices are EUR. All file sizes are compressed (zstd) bytes. Minute-level statistics are retained for roughly 30 days; daily aggregates reach back further. Instrument ids are stable for the lifetime of an instrument and identical across MCP, shop and analyze pages.
Guest vs signed-in orders
Anonymous MCP purchases use the guest flow: the download link and token from get_checkout_status stay valid for 30 days. Signed-in (OAuth) purchases are linked to your account permanently and drop already-owned files automatically.
Credits & agent consent
Your credits are never spent by an agent without your consent. Default — approve each purchase: create_checkout returns approval_required plus an approval page where you pay with credits (or by card) or discard the order; unapproved orders expire after 24 hours with nothing charged. Opt-in — autonomous within limits (https://cryptostruct.com/account/agents): a fully credit-covered order completes immediately as long as it fits your per-order cap and your rolling 24-hour cap; anything larger, or not fully covered, comes back to you for approval instead of failing. The agent can pass its own max_credit_cents on top. Only you can change these settings — from the website, never through an agent's token — and every autonomous purchase is listed on the Agents tab and in your credit ledger.
Prefer files over tools? The Agent Skill teaches your assistant to parse the raw tick files locally, and llms.txt maps everything machine-readable. Free sample days live on /download. The platform and market-data documentation — file format, SBE, trading API, Strategy SDK — lives on docs.cryptostruct.com.
Why buy data through an agent here
Four things every page on this site is built on — and the reason the numbers above exist at all.
We record everything
The complete public feed of each venue as it was published: every Level-2 snapshot and update at the venue's full book depth, every trade with its aggressor side, every quote, funding, mark-price and liquidation event — for every instrument the venue lists, every UTC day since we added the venue. Nothing sampled, no top-N cut, no on-demand capture.
Institutional grade
Captured co-located at the venue with the exchange timestamp and our receive timestamp in integer nanoseconds, an event-id chain that makes any gap visible, and one normalized schema across 35+ venues — the same capture our own high-frequency trading engine and enterprise feeds run on.
€1 per instrument-day
Any instrument-day is €1, series-day bundles start at €1 — no subscription, no minimum order, no tiers to unlock. Credit packs lower the effective price and never expire, and every venue has free full-day samples to test against first.
Self-service for everyone
Pick the days in the Data Shop, pay by card as a guest and download immediately — no sales call, no enterprise contract, no KYC. Coding agents buy the same files through the MCP server, and the free Agent Skill teaches them the format.
