claude mcp add --transport http coinlobster https://coinlobster.com/mcp
# or, in an MCP client config:

}
}

Ask what whales are doing
Ask in plain language. Claude picks the tool (whale_radar, whale_activity, coin_brief, liquidations, traders and more).
You: Which coins have unusual whale activity right now, and is it buying or selling?
You: Show me BTC whale flow for the last hour, broken down by exchange.
You: Before I touch SOL, what does the pre-trade picture look like?
3
Make it act on a rule
Poll whale_radar on a schedule. When a coin crosses your threshold, have Claude summarise coin_brief and post it to your channel. Every tool returns structured JSON.
4
Run your own indicators
history returns near-live price bars for your agent to compute on. To wrap this around an existing bot, see confirm your bot.
5
Raise the limits
A free key raises the keyless rate limits. A paid plan opens every $100K+ trade and custom alerts. See API, keys and pricing.
What you can ask
- Which coins are whales unusually active on right now?
- Break down BTC whale flow by exchange for the last hour.
- What is the funding rate on SOL versus its own history?
- Give me the pre-trade picture for ETH.
Common questions
Do I need an API key?
No. https://coinlobster.com/mcp works without a key, with a rate limit. A free key raises the limit; Pro unlocks the full data.
Which clients work?
Any MCP client. The connect page has setup for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Cline and Codex.
What data can the agent see?
Live whale trades across 18 exchanges, on-chain and Hyperliquid, plus funding, open interest, liquidations, a combined order book and proven traders.
