Example Queries
Once connected, ask your AI agent:
- "What's the total stablecoin market cap today?"
- "Show me USDT supply broken down by chain"
- "How much BTC do public companies hold vs ETF funds?"
- "What's the daily change in ETF segment BTC holdings over the past two weeks?"
- "Compare USDC and USDT market share across Ethereum, Tron, and Solana"
- "Which BTC segments have high confidence data vs carry-forward estimates?"

New to MCP?
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.
