For AI agents

Let your agent read the news the way your bot does.

Shingou runs as a hosted MCP server. Point Claude or any MCP client at it and your agent can pull the sentiment signal, the point-in-time history and the typed event feed itself. Same free key, same quota, same plan rules as the REST API.

Connect in one line

The endpoint is https://api.shingou.io/mcp. It speaks Streamable HTTP and holds no session, so there is nothing to install and nothing to keep running. Send your key in an x-api-key header.

Terminal

claude mcp add --transport http shingou https://api.shingou.io/mcp \
  --header "x-api-key: YOUR_KEY"

Four tools

Each tool calls the public API in process, so key auth, rate limits, metering and the plan freshness rules all apply exactly as they do over REST.

Tool	What it returns	Costs
get_sentiment	Latest signal for up to 50 symbols in one call. Score, confidence, direction, dominant events and the source articles.	1 request
get_sentiment_history	Point-in-time series for backtesting. Every bucket is stamped as-of, so there is no lookahead.	1 request
get_events	Recent classified events for a symbol. Includes the kill-switch trio: hack_exploit, regulation, delisting.	1 request
list_symbols	The 30 supported symbols and which are live on the free plan.	Free, no key

One tool call is one metered request. Connecting and listing tools costs nothing. On the free plan that is 1,000 calls a day, live on BTC, ETH and SOL, 24 hours behind on everything else, and 7 days of history. Signals update once an hour, so an agent that polls faster than that is only burning quota.

The skill, if you want the habits too

MCP gives your agent the tools. The skill gives it the habits: how to authenticate, which symbols exist, how to batch and cache so it does not waste quota, and how to say what the number does and does not mean. It is free and MIT licensed at github.com/auriontech/shingou-skills.

What the server tells your agent

Agents will happily overstate a number they do not understand. The MCP server ships instructions with every connection so yours does not have to be told twice:

Use the signal to filter entries, to size by confidence, or to stand aside on a hack, a regulatory event or a delisting. It is not an entry generator and it is not trade advice.
Compare every response timestamp against the current time, and say so when the data is delayed instead of presenting it as current.
Report the headline and the source link behind a risk flag, not just the flag.
History buckets marked reconstructed were rebuilt from archival news rather than collected live. Disclose the mix in any backtest.

Tool errors come back with the fix attached, so an agent that runs out of quota is told to stop for the day instead of retrying in a loop.

This is a signal layer to improve a strategy you already run, not trade recommendations or any guarantee of returns. By using the API you agree to the Terms of Service.
