Hey trader,
Lats week we answered "so many tools, where do I start?" Today's answer is even shorter: just ask.
The altFINS MCP connects AI assistants like Claude to live altFINS data for 2,000+ assets. You type one question in plain English. You get coins with entry, stop and target, in seconds.
We wrote 10 prompts, one set for each trading style, and tested every one on live data this morning. Some results surprised us.
What the prompts found today:
✅ 9 analyst trade setups went in. Only 1 was ready to enter. Three breakouts had already slipped back below their trigger.
🔄 One coin near support offered 5:1 risk/reward. Another had the same signal but only 1:1.
📈 The strongest trend of the month was up 267%, and it still wasn't the right entry. The article explains why.
⚡ 40 bullish signals fired before lunch, and 34 were micro caps. One prompt filters them out in seconds.
🎯 One coin showed up in 3 separate scans. That's the strongest idea of the day.
Find your trading style in the guide:
Trend traders: the strongest coins, without buying the top
Swing traders: dips, support levels and setups ranked by risk/reward
Intraday traders: what's moving this hour, and what fired today
Investors: undervalued DeFi, plus a 30-second morning briefing
Each prompt is ready to copy and paste, with the real result next to it.
Setup takes 2 minutes
You need a free altFINS API key and an AI assistant (Claude, Copilot, Perplexity or n8n). The article walks you through it step by step.
It's read-only, so it can't place trades or touch your funds. You stay in control.
What is MCP, and why does it matter?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets Claude connect to altFINS signals and analytics.
For crypto traders, this is a fundamental shift. You're no longer limited to generic market commentary. Claude can now screen thousands of assets, pull current RSI readings, identify candlestick patterns, and surface breaking news - all within a single natural language conversation.
Instead of switching between tabs, dashboards, and charts, just ask Claude. The answer arrives with the data behind it.

Today we tested it with the prompt: Screen all coins with market cap > $200M, MACD BUY signal with 2-day histogram momentum (H2_UP), RSI between 40–70, and show me their short/medium/long-term trend scores, support/resistance levels, 1D and 1W price changes, volume, and SMA50/SMA200 — sorted by market cap. Flag the strongest setups."
This is the result it created. Quite impressive, right?
The best data deserves the best reasoning
altFINS has spent 8 years building one of crypto's most rigorous technical analysis platforms, covering screener data, curated trade setups, pattern detection, and fundamental metrics. But these data still requires interpretation.
Claude brings the reasoning layer. It can synthesize data across multiple tools, understand context and nuance, explain what indicators mean, and communicate findings in plain language. Together, they form a complete research workflow: altFINS delivers the signals, Claude delivers the understanding.
Whether you're a seasoned technical analyst or just beginning to explore crypto markets, this integration meets you where you are, making sophisticated analysis accessible, conversational, and fast.
Try it yourself. All you need is the altFINS API Key and Claude Desktop.
