Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for cryptocurrency pricing data. Gives AI assistants like Claude real-time access to ticker prices, exchange information, and OHLCV history from the Luzia API.
- Real-time ticker prices from multiple exchanges (Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, Bybit)
- Historical OHLCV candlestick data for technical analysis
- Market information and trading pairs
- Exchange status and availability
- A Luzia API key (get one here)
The fastest way to use Luzia with your AI assistant is to connect to our hosted MCP server at https://mcp.luzia.dev/mcp. No install required. Just paste the URL and your API key.
Settings → Integrations → Add custom MCP:
- URL:
https://mcp.luzia.dev/mcp - Authentication: Bearer token — paste your API key (
lz_...)
Claude Desktop's native remote MCP support is still rolling out, so the easiest path today is the mcp-remote shim, which bridges a remote HTTP MCP to Claude Desktop's stdio interface.
Edit your config:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"luzia": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"mcp-remote",
"https://mcp.luzia.dev/mcp",
"--header",
"Authorization:Bearer lz_your_api_key"
]
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop (Cmd+Q on macOS) and start asking questions.
Paste the URL and Authorization header into the MCP settings for your tool:
- URL:
https://mcp.luzia.dev/mcp - Header:
Authorization: Bearer lz_your_api_key
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspectorThen point the inspector at https://mcp.luzia.dev/mcp and add the Authorization: Bearer lz_... header.
Prefer running the server locally? @luziadev/mcp-server still ships on npm and runs over stdio.
# Run directly with npx (no install needed)

}
}

Prompts are pre-built analysis templates that fetch data and generate structured insights. They are available in clients that support MCP prompts (e.g., Claude Desktop via the / menu).
Note: Claude Code does not support MCP prompts directly — use natural language instead (e.g., "Analyze BTC/USDT price movement on Binance") and it will call the underlying tools automatically.

analyze_price_movement |
Analyze price movements and trends for a trading pair |
analyze_ohlcv |
