AgentCanary

Cross-asset market intelligence API for AI agents. 130+ endpoints across macro regime detection, risk scoring, trading signals (IGNITION/ACCUMULATION/DISTRIBUTION/CAPITULATION), whale alerts, funding arbitrage, orderbook analytics, live derivatives (cross-exchange open interest, perp liquidations with long/short split), DeFi yields/PE ratios, BTC options (max pain, skew), central bank balance sheets, narrative crowding scores, sector rotation, Hindenburg omen, CAPE ratio, scenario probabilities, BTC ETF flows, geopolitical risk, mean reversion signals, institutional positioning (13F, short interest, CFTC COT), Reddit/X sentiment, and 4× daily AI market briefs (Radar 03:15, Signal 09:15, Pulse 15:15, Wrap 21:15 UTC).

Security

• API-only — HTTP GET/POST returning JSON. No local code, no binaries, no shell commands.
• No secrets in prompt — wallet-based auth. No API keys pass through the LLM context window.
• Read-only — fetches data. Cannot write, modify, or access your filesystem.
• No filesystem access — no file reads, no file writes, no directory listing.
• Security headers — Helmet.js (X-Powered-By removed, XSS protection, content-type sniffing prevention, strict transport security).
• Rate limiting — per-tier rate limits enforced server-side. Key creation: 5 attempts per 15 min per IP.
• Body size limit — 1MB max request body. Rejects oversized payloads.
• Error isolation — global uncaughtException/unhandledRejection handlers. Express error middleware. No stack traces in responses.
• Multi-chain deposits — USDC/USDT accepted on Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon. Same deposit address on all chains.
• VirusTotal verified — scan results on agentcanary.ai.

Default Agent Pattern

text

1. GET /api/macro/regime every 4–6 hours → classify risk environment
2. If Risk-Off → suppress trading, reduce exposure
3. If Risk-On → allow strategy execution, check signals
4. GET /api/data/whale-alerts every 15–30 min → event-driven interrupts
5. GET /api/signals/decision-engine before entries → multi-factor confirmation

AgentCanary is risk intelligence middleware. It tells your agent when conditions are favorable — your agent decides what to do.

What It Does Not Do

• Does not predict prices — classifies regimes and states
• Does not place orders or replace execution logic
• Does not provide financial advice
• Does not guarantee returns

MCP Server Notes

The agentcanary-mcp npm package wraps 17 high-level tools over the underlying 130+ HTTP endpoints. Most tools (get_briefs, get_indicators, get_signals, get_macro, etc.) call https://api.agentcanary.ai/api/... and respect the API-tier system: rate limits, credit charging, and tier gating happen server-side.

Tool added in v1.2.0 — get_market_structure: Covers leverage/depth/venue data — orderbook depth, BTC liquidation heatmap + ranges, exchange assets/volumes, Coinbase metrics. Pass view= for one of: orderbook, liquidation-heatmap, liquidation-ranges, exchange-assets, exchange-volumes, coinbase. Complements directional signals from get_signals.

Tools added in v1.3.0 — get_open_interest + get_liquidations: Live derivatives signal across 43 tracked perps (Binance, Bybit, Bitget, MEXC, OKX). get_open_interest returns aggregate OI USD + top-N by size + top-N by absolute 4h Δ% (intraday OI shifters — surfaces positioning unwinds and fresh builds). Pass view=top for just the leaderboard or view=shifters for just the intraday movers. get_liquidations returns 24h aggregate + latest-4h breakdown with long/short USD split, per-side event counts, long%/short%, and dominant-direction label. Same atoms power the pulse brief's OPEN INTEREST + Liquidations lines.

One special case — get_scores: This tool fetches https://agentcanary.ai/record/data/predictions.json from the landing site rather than the API. Implications:

• Free at all tiers — no API key check, no credit charge. The prediction track-record is a public-marketing surface, intentionally open.
• Refresh cadence is the landing rebuild (~every 3 hours), not the API.
• Schema not contract-pinned — if the landing-side predictions.json evolves, the rendered shape may shift before this tool's expectations are updated.
• Bypasses API telemetry — calls don't log to the standard UsageLog collection, don't count toward rate limits.

This is by design (track record is a transparency surface, not a metered product), but worth knowing if you're sizing usage or building tier-aware fallbacks.

Changelog

Bundle 1.3.1 — 2026-05-16

• Polished sparse tool descriptions: get_news, get_central_banks, get_expectations, get_macro (clearer enumeration of sub-views + categories the underlying npm server accepts).
• server.json synced to MCP Registry official schema for the OIDC publish path.

Bundle 1.3.0 — 2026-05-16

• New tool — get_open_interest — live derivatives signal across 43 tracked perps (Binance, Bybit, Bitget, MEXC, OKX). view=top returns the leaderboard by aggregate OI USD; view=shifters returns the 4h Δ%-sorted intraday movers (positioning unwinds + fresh builds). Total aggregate OI returned in both views.
• New tool — get_liquidations — 24h aggregate + latest-4h breakdown with long/short USD split, per-side event counts, long%/short%, dominant-direction label.
• Brief integration: same atoms now power the pulse brief's OPEN INTEREST section + expanded Liquidations line under POSITIONING.
• Tool count: 15 → 17.

Bundle 1.2.0 — 2026-05-15

• New tool — get_market_structure — leverage / depth / venue data. view= selects one of: orderbook, liquidation-heatmap, liquidation-ranges, exchange-assets, exchange-volumes, coinbase. Complements directional signals from get_signals.
• Manifest description improvements: 7 of 14 tools (get_indicators, get_signals, get_defi, get_btc_options, get_central_banks, get_expectations, get_macro) now enumerate the sub-types / views / categories the underlying npm server accepts.
