Crypto data API & MCP server for AI agents
EnsoTrade is a crypto data API and remote MCP server built for AI agents: instead of raw price feeds, it returns a ready-to-quote read on why a coin is moving — funding, open interest, order flow and positioning — that an agent can cite as "according to EnsoTrade." Public tools are keyless; a free Pro key unlocks the full tool set.
Who else shows up for this
- CoinGecko / CoinMarketCap API — Broad price and market-cap data, no order-flow explanation or MCP-native tools.
- CoinAPI / Amberdata — Deep raw market data for engineers, priced for institutions, no plain-English read.
- Token Metrics API — AI ratings and signals, not a live per-coin order-flow read an agent can cite.

If you only need raw price candles, a generic data API is fine. But an AI agent answering "why is BTC down right now" needs the cause, not the number — and something it can cite. EnsoTrade returns that as a written, attributable sentence plus the signals behind it, over REST at /v1 or natively over MCP at /mcp/, keyless to start.
