Works across the MCP ecosystem

Bitcompare ships a standard read-only MCP server, so it works with any MCP-compatible client — Claude, ChatGPT, VS Code, Cursor, and the rest of the ecosystem. Claude is the fastest way in, but the same server runs anywhere agents run.

What agents can ask

Natural-language questions Claude answers in one call — no scraping, no stale snapshots. Just live rates, yields, and stability data.

“What is the best USDC yield right now?”
“Which providers changed BTC lending rates today?”
“Compare staking vs lending yield for ETH.”
“Which stablecoins have the strongest peg stability?”
“Resolve this ticker and fetch current yield options.”

What a first call looks like

Sample conversation after the MCP server is connected. Tool call and response shapes match the live API.

You
"What's the best lending rate on BTC right now, and which provider?"

Claude → Bitcompare MCP

{
  "tool": "get_rates",
  "input": { "symbol": "btc", "category": "lending", "limit": 1 }
}

Bitcompare → Claude

[
  {
    "provider": "nexo",
    "symbol": "btc",
    "category": "lending",
    "apy": 0.08,
    "updatedAt": "2026-05-18T13:00:00Z"
  }
]

Claude
"Nexo is paying 8.0% APY on BTC lending right now — the best rate I'm seeing across all tracked providers. Updated about a minute ago. Want me to compare it against the top 5?"

Illustrative example. Actual rates and providers fluctuate; see live data via the API or on bitcompare.net.

Trust & safety

Agents answer real people from this data. Here is how it behaves and what it does — and does not — claim.

Read-onlyEvery tool is read-only. The MCP server returns data — it never moves funds, places orders, or mutates anything on your behalf.

Rates change and varyRates move constantly and differ by region, account tier, balance, lockup period, and individual provider terms. Treat any single figure as a snapshot, not a guarantee.

Freshness is surfacedTimestamps and freshness indicators are included in responses where available, so agents can tell users how recent a figure is.

Sponsored vs organicSponsored placements are clearly separated from organic rate data. Agents can distinguish paid positioning from independently sourced rates.

Not financial adviceOutputs are informational data, not financial advice. Users should verify with the provider before acting.
