## Quick Install

> **First, get your API Token at [https://6551.io/mcp](https://6551.io/mcp).**

### Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add opennews \
  -e OPENNEWS_TOKEN=<your-token> \
  -- uv --directory /path/to/opennews-mcp run opennews-mcp
```

> Replace `/path/to/opennews-mcp` with your local project path, and `<your-token>` with your API token.

## Let AI Review and Install

Not sure if this MCP is safe? Send the following prompt to your AI assistant to review the source code before installing:

> **Copy the prompt below and paste it to your AI assistant (replace `<project-path>` and `<your-token>` with actual values):**

```text
Please help me review and install the opennews-mcp MCP server. The project is at <project-path>.

Steps:
1. Review the security of the following files:
   - src/opennews_mcp/api_client.py — Confirm it only connects to ai.6551.io, no data sent elsewhere
   - src/opennews_mcp/config.py — Confirm token is only read from local config.json or env vars, not hardcoded or leaked
   - src/opennews_mcp/tools/*.py — Confirm all tools only do API queries, no file writes, command execution, or dangerous operations
   - pyproject.toml — Confirm dependencies are only mcp, httpx, websockets, no suspicious packages
2. Tell me your conclusion: Safe / Risky / Problematic, and the specific reasons
3. If safe, help me install (Token from https://6551.io/mcp):
   claude mcp add opennews -e OPENNEWS_TOKEN=<your-token> -- uv --directory <project-path> run opennews-mcp
```

> **Requires Max subscription.** Create and manage your strategies at [https://www.newsliquid.com/strategy](https://www.newsliquid.com/strategy).

When a user-defined strategy is triggered (e.g., price alert, keyword match), the server pushes:

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "strategy.triggered",
  "params": {
    "id": 1234567890,
    "newsType": "strategy",

    "text": "BTC funding rate 0.15%",
    "link": "",
    "source": "binance",
    "description": "{...}",
    "coins": [
      {
        "symbol": "BTC",
        "market_type": "cex"
      }
    ],
    "ts": "2025-01-15T08:30:00Z",
    "strategy": {
      "id": 42,
      "name": "BTC Funding Rate Alert",
      "sourceType": "market",
      "soundId": "alert-1",
      "bgColor": "#FF6B35",
      "metrics": {
        "funding_rate_high": {
          "value": 0.15,
          "unit": "%"
        }
      }
    },
    "aiRating": {
      "score": 85
    }
  }
}
```

**Strategy Params Fields**:
- `id`: News/event ID
- `engineType`: Source engine type (`market`, `news`, `onchain`)
- `text`: Human-readable event description
- `coins`: Related coins
- `ts`: Event timestamp
- `strategy.id`: User strategy ID
- `strategy.name`: Strategy name
- `strategy.sourceType`: Strategy source type
- `strategy.soundId`: Notification sound ID
- `strategy.bgColor`: Notification background color
- `strategy.metrics`: Triggered metric values with units
- `aiRating` (optional): Present when the news has an AI score. Contains:
  - `score`: 0-100 impact score
- `relatedAddress` (optional): Related wallet address if applicable

**Note**: Strategy triggered events are pushed per-user via NATS. No explicit subscription is required — events are automatically delivered to the connected user who owns the strategy.

**Note**: Each coin in the `coins` array now includes individual AI ratings:
- `score`: 0-100 impact score for this specific coin
- `signal`: `long` / `short` / `neutral` for this coin
- `grade`: `A+` / `A` / `B+` / `B` / `C` for this coin

The top-level `aiRating.score` represents the highest score among all coins.
