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.", "body_md": "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.\n\nThe 40-second demo is here:\n\n[https://x.com/DanteThomason/status/2103487147085074728](https://x.com/DanteThomason/status/2103487147085074728)\n\nIt exposes 12 tools, costs $0.005 per successful tool call, and does not require a separate crypto API key.\n\nThe Actor accepts one tool call per run:\n\n```\ncurl -X POST \"https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/genKenobi~crypto-mcp-toolkit/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN\" \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d '{\"tool\":\"get_crypto_price\",\"arguments\":{\"coin\":\"bitcoin\",\"currency\":\"usd\"}}'\n```\n\nThe result is JSON that an agent can consume directly.\n\nFind a channel first, then request its statistics:\n\n```\n{\"tool\":\"channel_find\",\"arguments\":{\"name\":\"@some_signals\"}}\n```\n\nThen pass the returned channel ID to get_channel_stats. For a quick overview, use channel_leaderboard with a limit.\n\nThe 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.\n\nUse the Apify API from n8n, Make, LangChain, or the Apify MCP server. One tool call in, one structured JSON result out.\n\nI built and maintain this Actor.
