概览

AI 生成的概览

Elfa 让助手基于 X 和 Telegram 社交数据获取加密货币与股票市场情报，并提供在条件满足时自动触发动作的 Auto 条件引擎。

可以做什么
  • 把股票代码、$cashtag、账号、合约地址等标识解析为实体 id，并查询 API 密钥等级、额度用量与历史数据范围
  • 读取市场事件、事件脉络与更大趋势，以及关注度份额、多空持仓簿、热门合约等全市场视图
  • 读取账号在帖子中建立的仓位、单一资产的当前多空持仓，以及按影响力或历史战绩排名的 X 账号
  • 读取社交提及、热门代币与合约，以及带来源链接的书面叙事分析
  • 起草、校验、启用、取消和删除 Auto 查询与草稿，并轮询其执行记录与分析结果
  • 以对话方式获取书面市场分析
适用场景
适合让助手借助社交信号研究加密货币或股票市场动态、跟踪账号的仓位动向，或设置无人值守的监控查询，在条件满足时通知、调用 webhook 或向 Telegram 机器人发消息。
运行要求
可通过 npx 以 stdio 在本地运行，也可作为托管远程服务器通过浏览器登录使用。本地运行需要在 ELFA_API_KEY 中提供 Elfa API 密钥，密钥从服务商的开发者站点获取。每次调用消耗额度，部分工具需要更高等级的套餐。
安装前请注意
多数工具按调用消耗额度，narratives 和 market_chat 等由大模型驱动的工具费用更高，即使客户端超时也仍会计费。Auto 写入类工具会启用无人值守运行的查询，触发动作时不再询问；启用前应先校验，并核对预估费用以及按帖子或按天账号的额外计费。社交文本和资产名称属于第三方内容，应视为数据而非指令。

安装

在 SourceWeft 中

  1. 打开 控制台中的 Elfa，将其添加到工作区。
  2. 为需要使用其工具的对话启用该服务。

Desktop only，通过 STDIO。 STDIO 服务会启动本地进程，因此需要 SourceWeft 桌面宿主。

其他 MCP 客户端

参照 仓库 中的启动说明。

README

Elfa MCP

Model Context Protocol server for the Elfa API — API v3 events, positions and rankings across crypto and equities, Auto, a condition engine that watches the market and fires an action when your conditions are met, plus crypto social intelligence from X and Telegram.

Works with any MCP client, either signed in to the hosted server or running locally with an API key.

Install

Hosted, sign in with Elfa

Add https://mcp.elfa.ai/mcp as a remote MCP server in your client and approve it in your browser with your dev.elfa.ai account. No key to copy, nothing to install. If your client cannot sign in, run the server locally instead. Setup steps are in the MCP guide.

Local, API key

Get an API key at dev.elfa.ai. No install step — npx fetches the server on demand.

One click

[Add to Cursor] [Add to VS Code]

Claude Desktop

Download elfa-mcp-<version>.mcpb from the latest release and open it. Claude Desktop installs it, prompts for your API key, and keeps it updated. Nothing else to configure.

Claude Code

bash
claude mcp add elfa --env ELFA_API_KEY=your-key -- npx -y @elfa-ai/mcp

Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, and other clients

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "elfa": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@elfa-ai/mcp"],      "env": {        "ELFA_API_KEY": "your-key"      }    }  }}

VS Code uses "servers" instead of "mcpServers". Everything else is the same.

Ask "what's trending in crypto right now?" to confirm it works.

Configuration

VariableRequiredPurpose
ELFA_API_KEYyesAuthenticates every request
ELFA_TIMEOUTnoRequest timeout in ms, default 120000
ELFA_RETRIESnoRetries on failure, default 0
ELFA_MCP_MAX_RESPONSE_CHARSnoResponse size ceiling, default 60000
ELFA_EXTRA_HEADERSnoJSON object of extra headers to send upstream, for proxies and non-production environments

Upstream requests identify themselves as User-Agent: elfa-mcp/<version> (<transport>; client=<app>). On stdio, <app> is the MCP client's name and version from the handshake; over HTTP, it is the connecting client's own User-Agent header. Set User-Agent in ELFA_EXTRA_HEADERS to send your own instead.

The timeout is high and retries are off on purpose. The interpretation endpoints are LLM-backed and can take over a minute, and they cost credits per attempt, so a silent retry would bill you again for a call you never saw. Raise ELFA_RETRIES only if you are calling the cheap measurement endpoints.

Some MCP clients apply their own timeout, often around 60 seconds. narratives and market_chat can exceed that; the request still completes and is still charged, even if the client gives up first.

Tools

16 tools, mapped to every documented /v2 and /v3 operation.

ToolModeCostWhat it does
api_statusreadFreeCheck API key tier, credit usage and remaining requests, and historyFrom, how far back events, market and calls read. Also confirms the API is reachable.
entitiesread1 per callResolve a ticker, $cashtag, name, @handle, contract address, CoinGecko id, FIGI or CIK to the entity id that events and calls take. Matches exactly, it is not a search.
eventsread1, plus 1 per event or 2 per storyline or arcWhat is happening in crypto and equity markets. level=events for what happened and how prices reacted, level=storylines for one development threaded over days, level=arcs for storylines grouped into a larger movement. Searchable by topic.
marketreadcall_book 2, mindshare 5, trending_contracts 5 (plus 5 over a 24 hour range), doubled for limit over 50Whole-market views for crypto or equities. view=mindshare ranks assets by share of attention, view=call_book is the crowd's long/short lean hour by hour, view=trending_contracts ranks contract addresses by how many posts pasted them.
callsread1, plus 1 per call or 2 per episode; positioning 2Positions accounts take in posts. level=calls for each post that takes or changes a position, level=episodes for each position from open to close with the author's track record, level=positioning for open longs and shorts on one asset now.
top_accountsread5 by standing, 25 by a track metric, doubled for limit over 50X accounts ranked by standing (how much other accounts engage with them) or, with metric, by their track record as callers (alphaScore, hitRate, avgReturn).
auto_buildread1 plus LLM usageTurn a plain-language monitoring request into an EQL query. Returns a draft to validate and activate, it does not activate anything itself.
auto_validatereadFreeCheck EQL syntax and get a cost estimate before activating, or check that a symbol has market data on a venue.
auto_queryreadFreeRead side of Auto: list queries, poll one query, and read its executions and LLM sessions.
auto_query_writewrite5 plus LLM usage to create, free to cancel or deleteActivate, cancel or delete an Auto query. Activated queries run unattended and fire their action when conditions are met.
auto_draftreadFreeRead side of Auto drafts: list saved drafts and read one. Drafts are queries parked without activating; they never evaluate or fire.
auto_draft_writewriteFree, except convert which costs the same as creating a queryCreate, update, delete or activate an Auto draft. Converting a draft activates it as a live query that runs unattended.
mentionsread1 per callSocial mentions from X and Telegram. mode=top ranks a ticker's mentions by engagement, mode=search filters by keyword or account, mode=news returns the token news feed, which is X posts from accounts tagged as news sources rather than articles from news outlets.
trendingread1 per callWhat is gaining social attention. scope=tokens for tickers, scope=contracts_twitter or scope=contracts_telegram for contract addresses.
narrativesread5 per callWritten narrative analysis with source links. scope=market extracts market-wide narratives, scope=keywords summarises events for specific keywords.
market_chatreadVaries by speedAsk for written market analysis. Supports conversational chat, macro overview, quick summary, token intro, token analysis and account analysis.

Not exposed as tools:

  • chat-stream-v2 — A tool call returns one result, so streaming adds nothing. market_chat covers the same analysis.
  • auto-stream-queries-v2 — Long lived streams have no tool equivalent. Poll with auto_query.
  • auto-stream-query-v2 — Long lived streams have no tool equivalent. Poll with auto_query.
  • getAccountSmartStats-v2 — Deprecated and not maintained, so no tool wraps it. To rank accounts, use top_accounts; mentions with mode=search returns per-post engagement metrics with the posting account.

Some tools depend on the plan: today market_chat, which needs a higher-tier plan than the free one, and the API v3 tools on a key whose scopes leave them out. At startup (stdio) or per request (HTTP, cached for a minute per key), the server reads the key's scopes from /v2/key-status. A tool the plan doesn't include stays listed, but its description says it needs a higher-tier plan, and calling it returns the upgrade link without calling the API or spending credits. If the scopes can't be read within 3 seconds, every tool is listed as usual and the API decides.

Streaming endpoints stay available through the SDKs for applications that can consume SSE.

API v3

entities, events, market, calls and top_accounts read API v3: events, storylines and arcs; call books, mindshare and trending contracts; calls, call episodes and positioning; ranked accounts. They cover crypto and equities and are open to every plan. Each call costs credits, priced per endpoint on the pricing page.

  • Filters take entity ids, not tickers. Resolve an asset with entities first and reuse the id.
  • Times are unix seconds. Milliseconds are refused.
  • How far back a key reads depends on its plan. api_status returns it as historyFrom.

Where this differs from the raw API

The tools deliberately do not inherit every API default, because an agent pays for verbosity in context.

APIHereWhy
pageSize10 to 50 depending on endpoint, max 10010Page through rather than pull everything
limit on v3 tools10 or 50 depending on endpoint, max 30 or 20010Page with cursor rather than pull everything
speed on chatexpertfastCheaper by default, ask for expert when depth matters
Mention fieldsfull recordhigh signal fieldsPass verbosity: "detailed" for the rest
Large responsesreturned wholetrimmed to fit, with a noteKeeps one call from filling the context window

Every value is still settable per call: pageSize accepts up to 100, and limit up to the endpoint's maximum.

Auto

Auto queries run unattended. Once armed, a query keeps evaluating and fires its action without asking again.

The flow is three steps:

  1. auto_build — describe what to watch in plain language, get EQL back
  2. auto_validate — check the syntax and get the credit cost
  3. auto_query_write — activate it

Actions can notify you, call a webhook, message a Telegram bot, or run an LLM analysis.

There is no push channel over MCP. Poll auto_query with method=get, and wait for the returned pollAfterSeconds between calls.

Remote server

The same server runs over Streamable HTTP for hosted deployments:

bash
ELFA_MCP_TRANSPORT=http ELFA_MCP_PORT=3000 npx -y @elfa-ai/mcp

It is stateless — no sessions, one server instance per request, safe behind a load balancer. Credentials come from the x-elfa-api-key request header, falling back to the environment, or from an OAuth sign-in (see below).

DNS rebinding protection is on by default. The server accepts only the loopback names it binds — localhost:PORT and 127.0.0.1:PORT — which covers the local run above and nothing else. Any deployment that answers on a different Host must list the values it serves:

bash
ELFA_MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS=mcp.example.com

That includes a public domain, a reverse proxy, and a container that maps the port to a different one than the server binds. A Host the list does not cover is rejected with 403.

VariableRequiredPurpose
ELFA_MCP_TRANSPORTnohttp to serve over Streamable HTTP, default stdio
ELFA_MCP_HOSTnoBind address, default 127.0.0.1
ELFA_MCP_PORTnoBind port, default 3000
ELFA_MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTSnoComma separated Host allowlist, defaults to the loopback names bound
ELFA_MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINSnoComma separated Origin allowlist
ELFA_MCP_OPENAI_APPS_CHALLENGEnoDomain-verification token from OpenAI's plugin portal, served as plain text at /.well-known/openai-apps-challenge

Set ELFA_MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS as well when browsers call the server directly. It complements the host allowlist rather than replacing it: a rebound request is same origin, so it carries no Origin header for that list to check, and the Host header is the only one still naming the attacker's domain.

OAuth sign-in

A hosted server can let clients sign in through a browser instead of sending an API key. Set ELFA_MCP_AUTH=oauth and the server becomes an OAuth resource server under the MCP authorization spec:

  1. A request with no credential gets 401 and a WWW-Authenticate challenge.
  2. The challenge points the client to the protected-resource metadata at /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp.
  3. That metadata names the authorization server, where the user signs in.
  4. The client then sends Authorization: Bearer <token>.
  5. The server checks the token against the authorization server's introspection endpoint. The endpoint answers with the Elfa API key the request runs as, so the token never reaches the Elfa API.
bash
ELFA_MCP_TRANSPORT=http \ELFA_MCP_AUTH=oauth \ELFA_MCP_RESOURCE_URL=https://mcp.example.com/mcp \ELFA_OAUTH_ISSUER=https://auth.example.com \ELFA_OAUTH_INTROSPECTION_URL=https://auth.example.com/introspect \ELFA_OAUTH_INTROSPECTION_TOKEN=... \ELFA_MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS=mcp.example.com \npx -y @elfa-ai/mcp
VariableRequired in OAuth modePurpose
ELFA_MCP_AUTHyesoauth to enable, default apikey
ELFA_MCP_RESOURCE_URLyesCanonical URL of this endpoint. Tokens must be issued for exactly this value
ELFA_OAUTH_ISSUERyesAuthorization server listed in the metadata
ELFA_OAUTH_INTROSPECTION_URLyesWhere tokens are checked
ELFA_OAUTH_INTROSPECTION_TOKENyesBearer sent to the introspection endpoint
ELFA_OAUTH_SCOPESnoComma separated scopes to advertise, default elfa

Notes:

  • An x-elfa-api-key header still works in OAuth mode.
  • ELFA_API_KEY is ignored in OAuth mode, so a caller with no credential never runs as the server's own key.
  • Valid tokens are cached for up to a minute, which bounds how long a revoked token keeps working.

Safety

api_status is the fastest way to tell an auth problem from a credit problem.

Mentions, news and narratives return third-party social text that anyone can write, events are written up from it, and the v3 tools carry third-party asset, account and channel names. The server marks it as untrusted in every response, and the server instructions tell the model to treat it as data. Keep that in mind before letting an agent chain from that content into auto_query_write.

Development

bash
npm installnpm run buildnpm run verify

npm run verify runs typecheck, tests, the spec drift check, and the docs check.

manifest.json maps every documented API operation to the tool that covers it. npm run check:drift fails if the API grows an operation the server does not handle. The tool table above is generated from the same file with npm run docs:tools.

api_status

API key status

Check the Elfa API key tier, credit usage and remaining requests, and confirm the API is reachable. Free. historyFrom is the earliest time, in unix seconds, the events, market and calls tools read on this plan.

无需输入参数。

entities

Entities

Turn a ticker, $cashtag, name, @handle, contract address, CoinGecko id, FIGI or CIK into the entity id that events and calls take.. It matches exactly, it is not a search: a prefix or a misspelling returns nothing. A ticker is not unique, so take the first row and check its name, or narrow with entityType. Forms of an asset share one family id where known: WBTC and cbBTC are Bitcoin. Resolve once and reuse the id.

输入参数q必填limitcursorentityType

events

Events

What is happening in crypto and equity markets, written up from posts across many sources.. level=events: what happened, what it names, how prices reacted where measured (impacts is empty on most events), and the posts behind it. level=storylines: the events of one development, threaded over days. level=arcs: storylines grouped into a larger movement. Search any level by topic with q, filter by asset with entityIds from the entities tool, or fetch up to 30 you hold with ids. Not returned: post text, a sentiment score or a price.

market

Market

Whole-market views, no asset needed.. view=mindshare ranks assets by share of attention over a period, with hot on those heating up. view=call_book is the crowd's long/short lean, one bar per hour plus a live tick: read crowdingPercentile rather than longShare, since the accounts lean long almost always. view=trending_contracts ranks contract addresses by how many posts pasted them, crypto only, and the unnamed ones are often the ones worth watching.

calls

Calls

What accounts are doing: positions taken in posts on X and Telegram.. level=calls: each post that opened, added to, trimmed, reaffirmed, reversed, closed or stopped out of a position. level=episodes: each position from open to close, with entry and exit prices and the author's track record. level=positioning: open longs and shorts on one asset right now. level=episodes with status=open and from set to now reads what every matching account holds right now. Not returned: post text or a recommendation.

top_accounts

Top accounts

X accounts ranked by standing (how much other accounts engage with them) or, with metric, by their track record as callers.. Standing measures attention, not accuracy; track is null for an account that has never opened a position. For the best callers use metric=alphaScore, not avgReturn, which a few big wins or a rally can top. Track metrics rank only accounts with at least 20 scored positions, over every position since late June 2026; scoredEpisodes is the number of positions behind each account's track metrics.

输入参数limitordercursormetric

auto_build

Auto query builder

Turn a plain-language monitoring request into an EQL query. Costs 1 credit plus LLM usage. This only drafts the query: nothing runs until it is activated. Say what to watch, the threshold, and what should happen when it fires. It drafts tweet conditions only for accounts in Elfa's real-time set (included), not for other X accounts.

输入参数speedmessage必填sessionId

auto_validate

Validate Auto query

Check EQL syntax and get the estimated cost of activating a query. Free. tweetAccounts lists the X account behind each tweet condition: billing=per_post accounts cost creditsPerPost for every post from the account (not replies or reposts), matched or not, while the query runs, on top of estimatedCredits. followAccounts lists the X account behind each x_follow_made or x_follow_overlap condition: billing=per_day accounts cost creditsPerDay for each UTC day their follows are read while the query runs, also on top of estimatedCredits. Pass either an inline query or a draftId. method=symbol instead checks that a symbol has market data on a venue, which price and ta conditions need.

输入参数querytitlemethodsymboldraftIdexchangedescription

auto_query

Read Auto queries

Read side of Auto. Free. method=list browses queries, method=get polls one query and returns its latest evaluation, plus failure when it failed with a recorded reason, method=executions and method=execution show what fired, method=sessions and method=session return the LLM analysis attached to a query. There is no push channel here, poll with method=get and respect pollAfterSeconds.

auto_query_write

Write Auto queries

Activate, cancel or delete an Auto query. Creating costs 5 credits plus LLM usage, cancel and delete are free. An activated query runs unattended and fires its action without asking again. Per-post X accounts in its tweet conditions and per-day accounts in its x_follow_made or x_follow_overlap conditions are billed on top while it runs.

输入参数querytitlemethod必填queryIddescription

auto_draft

Read Auto drafts

Read side of Auto drafts. Free. method=list browses saved drafts, method=get returns one draft. A draft is an Auto query parked without activating it: it never evaluates and never fires.

输入参数limitmethod必填offsetsearchstatusdraftId

auto_draft_write

Write Auto drafts

Create, update, delete or activate an Auto draft. method=upsert parks a query as a draft without activating it; drafts never evaluate and never fire. method=delete removes a draft. method=convert activates a draft as a live query, which runs unattended and fires its action without asking again, and costs the same as creating a query. upsert and delete are free.

输入参数querytitlemethod必填draftIddescription

mentions

Mentions

Social mentions from X and Telegram. 1 credit per call. Returns engagement metrics and a link per post, not the post text. mode=top ranks one ticker's mentions by engagement. mode=search filters by keywords or by account. mode=news returns the token news feed, which is X posts from accounts tagged as news sources rather than articles from news outlets.

narratives

Narratives

Written narrative analysis with source links, for when counts are not enough. 5 credits per call. scope=market extracts the narratives moving the market. scope=keywords summarises events for keywords you supply, and can take over a minute to return.

输入参数tofromscopekeywordstimeFramesearchTypetimeWindowmaxNarrativesmaxTweetsPerNarrative

market_chat

Market chat

Ask Elfa for written market analysis grounded in its social data. Costs credits and varies by speed, so fast is the cheaper option. Pass sessionId from a previous reply to continue the same conversation. The reply includes sources: links to the posts and pages the research read (links only, not their text), so you can cite or check them.
