Give your AI agent crypto prices + Telegram channel stats in one call

A developer built crypto-mcp-toolkit, an Apify Actor that exposes crypto market data and backtested Telegram signal-channel statistics to AI agents through a single pay-per-call interface. The toolkit offers 12 tools at $0.005 per successful call and requires no separate crypto API key, returning structured JSON directly consumable by agents. The developer notes that expectancy is reported with a one-sided 95% confidence bound, and in the current sample the median win rate is 76% while median expectancy is negative.

AI agents need data that's already shaped for decisions—not five API keys and a parsing layer. I built crypto-mcp-toolkit, an Apify Actor that exposes crypto market data and backtested Telegram signal-channel statistics through one pay-per-call interface.

The 40-second demo is here:

https://x.com/DanteThomason/status/2103487147085074728

It exposes 12 tools, costs $0.005 per successful tool call, and does not require a separate crypto API key.

The Actor accepts one tool call per run:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/genKenobi~crypto-mcp-toolkit/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"tool":"get_crypto_price","arguments":{"coin":"bitcoin","currency":"usd"}}'

The result is JSON that an agent can consume directly.

Find a channel first, then request its statistics:

{"tool":"channel_find","arguments":{"name":"@some_signals"}}

Then pass the returned channel ID to get_channel_stats. For a quick overview, use channel_leaderboard with a limit.

The important part is the evaluation method: expectancy is reported with a one-sided 95% confidence bound, not just a headline win rate. In my current sample, the median win rate is 76%, while median expectancy is negative.

Use the Apify API from n8n, Make, LangChain, or the Apify MCP server. One tool call in, one structured JSON result out.

I built and maintain this Actor. It is available here: https://apify.com/genkenobi/crypto-mcp-toolkit

Feedback is welcome—especially from people using crypto data in agents or checking paid signal groups before subscribing.
