Getting Started

Local (Stdio)

First, install the Fear & Greed MCP server with your client. A typical configuration looks like this:

{  "mcpServers": {    "mcp-server-fear-greed": {      "command": "npx",      "args": [        "-y",        "mcp-server-fear-greed@latest"      ]    }  }}

# For VS Codecode --add-mcp '{"name":"mcp-server-fear-greed","command":"npx","args":["mcp-server-fear-greed@latest"]}'

{  "mcpServers": {    "mcp-server-fear-greed": {      "command": "npx",      "args": [        "mcp-server-fear-greed@latest"      ]    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "mcp-server-fear-greed": {      "command": "npx",      "args": [        "mcp-server-fear-greed@latest"      ]    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "mcp-server-fear-greed": {      "command": "npx",      "args": [        "mcp-server-fear-greed@latest"      ]    }  }}

Remote (SSE / Streamable HTTP)

At the same time, use --port $your_port arg to start the browser mcp can be converted into SSE and Streamable HTTP Server.

# normal run remote mcp servernpx mcp-server-fear-greed --port 8089

You can use one of the two MCP Server remote endpoint:

• Streamable HTTP(Recommended): http://127.0.0.1::8089/mcp
• SSE: http://127.0.0.1::8089/sse

And then in MCP client config, set the url to the SSE endpoint:

{  "mcpServers": {    "mcp-server-fear-greed": {      "url": "http://127.0.0.1::8089/sse"    }  }}

url to the Streamable HTTP:

{  "mcpServers": {    "mcp-server-fear-greed": {      "type": "streamable-http", // If there is MCP Client support      "url": "http://127.0.0.1::8089/mcp"    }  }}

In-memory call

If your MCP Client is developed based on JavaScript / TypeScript, you can directly use in-process calls to avoid requiring your users to install the command-line interface to use Fear & Greed MCP.

import { Client } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js';import { InMemoryTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/inMemory.js';
// type: module project usageimport { createServer } from 'mcp-server-fear-greed';// commonjs project usage// const { createServer } = await import('mcp-server-fear-greed')
const client = new Client(  {    name: 'test fear greed client',    version: '1.0',  },  {    capabilities: {},  },);
const server = createServer();const [clientTransport, serverTransport] = InMemoryTransport.createLinkedPair();
await Promise.all([  client.connect(clientTransport),  server.connect(serverTransport),]);
// list toolsconst result = await client.listTools();console.log(result);
// call toolconst toolResult = await client.callTool({  name: 'get_fear_greed_index',  arguments: {    format: 'json'  },});console.log(toolResult);
