MCP server for Hindenrank crypto risk ratings.
hindenrank-mcp
MCP server for Hindenrank crypto risk ratings. Check protocol risk grades from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.
Quick Start
Add to your Claude Code or Cursor MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"hindenrank": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "hindenrank-mcp"],
"env": {
"HINDENRANK_API_KEY": "your-key-here"
}
}
}
}
The API key is optional. Without one, you get basic risk grades (500 requests/day). With a free key, you get value grades and filtering (2,000/day). Pro keys unlock full protocol data (50,000/day).
Get your API key at hindenrank.com/account.
