Quick start
claude mcp add --transport http market-intel https://market.datakoot.com/mcp
Or point any MCP client at https://market.datakoot.com/mcp.
Try it in 10 seconds — no key, no signup
Paste this into a terminal:
curl -s https://market.datakoot.com/mcp \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
-d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": {"name": "fx_rates", "arguments": {"base": "USD"}}}'
You get live USD foreign-exchange rates (European Central Bank reference data) — no API key, nothing to sign up for.
Or point any MCP client at the URL and just ask your agent, in plain language:
- "Convert 500 USD to euros at today's rate."
- "How has USD/JPY moved over the last month?"
Data & attribution
Rates are European Central Bank reference rates, served via the free, open-source Frankfurter API. ECB reference rates are published for information and are not intended for use as transaction benchmarks.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
