Install

Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

NPM package @bxetech/bpe-mcp
Claude Code 
claude mcp add bpe-bitcoin-pricing-engine -e 'BPE_API_KEY=<your bpe_api_key>' -e 'BPE_BASE_URL=https://mcp.bxetech.com' -- npx -y @bxetech/bpe-mcp@0.2.1
JSON configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code) 
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "bpe-bitcoin-pricing-engine": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "@bxetech/bpe-mcp@0.2.1"
            ],
            "env": {
                "BPE_API_KEY": "<your bpe_api_key>",
                "BPE_BASE_URL": "https://mcp.bxetech.com"
            }
        }
    }
}

Environment variables

  • BPE_API_KEY required secret Your BPE API key. Free tier available for evaluation; Agent tier unlocks the full briefing endpoint with ML signals, funding skew, and sentiment. Request at https://bxetech.com/contact.
  • BPE_BASE_URL Override the BPE backend endpoint. Defaults to https://mcp.bxetech.com. Use https://mcp-qa1.bxetech.com for QA testing.

BPE MCP Server

Model Context Protocol server for the BPE market-data API. Lets Claude Desktop, Cursor, Goose, and other MCP-enabled agents query consolidated Bitcoin pricing, ML signals, funding-rate skew, and natural-language market briefings — without writing any HTTP boilerplate.

Status: v0.2 — five tools, local stdio transport, no LLM calls inside the briefing endpoint (template-rendered). API key required.

Listed in the official MCP Server Registry as io.github.bxetech/bpe-mcp. Install via npm install -g @bxetech/bpe-mcp or npx -y @bxetech/bpe-mcp.

Why use it

If you're building an agent that touches Bitcoin markets, you have two options today:

  1. Talk to 36 different exchange APIs directly. Each has a different schema, different auth, different rate limits, different reliability. Your agent burns tokens reasoning over inconsistent payloads.
  2. Use one consolidated source. BPE aggregates all 36 venues into a single normalised feed with derived signals (ML predictions, sentiment, funding skew, basis). One auth, one schema, one tool call.

This MCP server is option 2 dressed up as native tools your agent can discover and call.

Tools (v0.2)

ToolWhat it does
get_consolidated_priceCurrent BTC price aggregated across the BPE network
get_market_briefing~4 lines (brief) or 6–8 (detailed) natural-language summary — price, funding skew, ML signal, sentiment, anomalies
get_funding_skewPer-venue annualised funding rates + max-spread pair
get_ml_signalCurrent ML prediction (direction, probability, confidence) at the requested horizon
get_sentiment_snapshotCrypto Fear & Greed index, news sentiment, mempool stress

Install

npm install -g @bxetech/bpe-mcp

Or use npx with no install (recommended for Claude Desktop):

// ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bpe": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@bxetech/bpe-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "BPE_API_KEY": "bpe_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The five tools appear under the MCP server picker.

BPE_API_KEY(required)Get one at https://bxetech.com/contact
BPE_BASE_URLhttps://mcp.bxetech.comOverride for self-hosted / local dev

Local development

git clone https://github.com/bxetech/bpe-mcp
cd bpe-mcp
npm install
npm run build
BPE_API_KEY=... npm run dev

To dogfood in Claude Desktop while iterating, point at the local build:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bpe-dev": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/abs/path/to/mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "BPE_API_KEY": "...",
        "BPE_BASE_URL": "http://localhost:8082"
      }
    }
  }
}

Roadmap

  • v0.2 — get_sentiment_snapshot ✅, friendly tier-aware errors ✅, timestamped briefings ✅
  • v0.3 — get_basis, subscribe_alert (webhook subscription), hosted HTTP transport for non-developer install (Cursor extension, ChatGPT Desktop)
  • v0.4 — Optional LLM-rendered briefing via Haiku (richer prose, with per-call cost)
