BPE (Bitcoin Pricing Engine) MCP server

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:

schema, different auth, different rate limits, different reliability. Your agent burns tokens reasoning over inconsistent payloads.

1. Talk to 36 different exchange APIs directly. Each has a different

single normalised feed with derived signals (ML predictions, sentiment, funding skew, basis). One auth, one schema, one tool call.

1. Use one consolidated source. BPE aggregates all 36 venues into a

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

Tools (v0.2)

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.

Configuration

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 — getsentimentsnapshot ✅, friendly tier-aware errors ✅, timestamped briefings ✅
• v0.3 — getbasis, subscribealert (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)
