CryptoMinute News MCP

The most comprehensive crypto news intelligence MCP server. 8 tools. 50+ sources. AI-powered.

No API keys required. Connect your AI assistant to real-time crypto intelligence in under a minute.

Why CryptoMinute?

Most crypto MCP servers scrape a single news API and call it a day. CryptoMinute is a full intelligence platform:

Built for Speed

The entire backend is written in Go -- compiled, concurrent, and fast:

• Compiled binary -- single executable, zero runtime dependencies
• Concurrent processing -- goroutines handle 50+ data sources simultaneously
• Sub-10ms MCP response time -- no interpreter overhead, no cold starts
• < 20MB memory -- runs anywhere, from a Raspberry Pi to the cloud
• Zero external Go dependencies -- pure standard library MCP server

The MCP server is a stateless facade -- a thin Go binary that translates MCP tool calls into REST API requests. It holds no database connection and requires no API keys. All intelligence lives in the backend.
