Details
From the project READMEKuru.io MCP Server
This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for accessing Kuru.io crypto exchange data, making it accessible to LLMs and AI assistants.
Features
- Market Data: Access real-time market data and trending markets
- Tools: Get current prices, calculate token values, and list all trading pairs
- Caching: Built-in caching mechanism to reduce API calls

As a stdio server (for use with LLM tools like Claude Desktop)
npm start
For debugging with MCP Inspector
npm run inspector
MCP Tools
The server provides these tools:
-
get-price- Get the current price for a trading pair- Parameter:
symbol- Trading pair in format BASE/QUOTE (e.g.,MON/USDC) - Example: "What's the current price of MON/USDC?"
- Parameter:
-
get-all-trading-pairs- Get all available trading pairs- Example: "Show me all trading pairs available on Kuru.io"

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.
