Talk to Zipp from any AI
Multi-language crypto news with sentiment, importance, and source attribution — wired into your favourite MCP client with a single connector.
uvx zipp-mcpOne protocol every AI client already speaks.
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI applications connect to external data and tools through the same contract. Claude Desktop, Claude.ai web, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini CLI and a growing list of clients support it. Connect Zipp once — it shows up in every chat.
- Talk to any data, from any AI. One contract, independent of client, model or vendor.
- No bespoke integration. One protocol, every client — no webhook glue to maintain.
- Editorial layer included. Sentiment, importance and attribution are values Zipp already produces — MCP ships them as-is.
Not just news — signal.
Most news APIs hand you raw text. Zipp ships every story with the signals a market actually cares about — so your AI client can reason about the next step, not just summarise the headline.
One tool per Zipp surface.
The AI client picks which tool to call from natural language in the chat. For the full JSON contract and sample responses see the README.
search(query, lang?, category?, limit?)
Full-text search across Zipp's news catalogue. Returns recent matching stories ordered by recency (with relevance as a tiebreaker). Use for questions like "what's happening with Bitcoin ETFs?" or "find news about Solana hacks".
{ "name": "search", "arguments": { "query": "Bitcoin ETF inflows", "lang": "en-US", "limit": 5 } }get_latest(lang?, category?, limit?)
Latest news from the last 24 hours. Optionally scoped to a category. Returns posts ordered newest-first. Use for "what's new today?" or "what happened in DeFi today?".
{ "name": "get_latest", "arguments": { "lang": "en-US", "category": "ecosystems-ethereum", "limit": 10 } }get_breaking(lang?, limit?)
Breaking news only — last 24 hours, importance score ≥ 75. Lower volume than get_latest but every item is market-moving. Use for "what's the most important crypto news right now?".
{ "name": "get_breaking", "arguments": { "lang": "en-US", "limit": 10 } }get_featured(lang?, limit?)
Editor-picked feature stories (is_featured=TRUE). No time window. Use when the user wants curated highlights rather than recency-sorted news.
{ "name": "get_featured", "arguments": { "lang": "en-US", "limit": 5 } }get_post(slug_or_id, lang?)
Full detail of a single post — title, summary, full body, all categories, hashtags, source attribution. Accepts either a slug (from a previous tool call) or a numeric id.
{ "name": "get_post", "arguments": { "slug_or_id": "solana-network-outage-2026", "lang": "en-US" } }list_categories(lang?)
List the full Zipp taxonomy (7 main groups × 5 leaves = 35 categories total). Use to discover valid category slugs for the search / get_latest tools.
{ "name": "list_categories", "arguments": { "lang": "en-US" } }Pick your client.
Most users want the Remote tab — zero install, always up to date. Use Local only when your client is stdio-only (older Claude Desktop releases, custom agents).
