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

#ai #crypto #api #tutorial

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.

Demo video

The 40-second demo is here:

What the Actor provides

  • Live crypto prices and OHLC with ICT analysis (order blocks, fair-value gaps, and liquidity sweeps)
  • SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD, Fear & Greed, market overview, coin comparison, and ICT scalping signals
  • A leaderboard of 35+ Telegram signal channels ranked by expectancy, with win rate, average R, and drawdown
  • A channel_request tool for requesting a new channel for automated backtesting

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

Quick start with curl

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"}}'
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The result is JSON that an agent can consume directly.

Check Telegram signal channels

Find a channel first, then request its statistics:

{"tool":"channel_find","arguments":{"name":"@some_signals"}}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

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.

Works with agent workflows

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