Tools & capabilities
Bykaranteli MCP tools 68
get_market_indicesCall this when the user asks about overall crypto market sentiment or macro state: the Fear & Greed index (today and yesterday), Bitcoin dominance percentage, total market cap, or the Retail Euphoria composite. Live values refreshed about every 30 minutes.get_liquidationsCall this when the user asks how much was liquidated in crypto futures, whether longs or shorts got flushed, or for liquidation history. Returns daily long and short liquidation totals in USD per symbol and exchange, recorded from ByKaranteli's own stream collectors on every liquidation venue it counts, listed on bykaranteli.com/coverage (recorded events, a floor, not estimates). One row per finalized UTC day, symbol and exchange; history begins 2026-07-30 and grows daily. Without symbol, rows holds the first 30 rows (newest day, largest first) while summary covers every matching row; pass symbol or limit (up to 400) for more rows.get_etf_flowsCall this when the user asks about Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana or XRP spot ETF flows: daily net inflows or outflows, cumulative flow since launch, or total net assets of the US spot ETFs (IBIT, FBTC, ETHA, XRPC and the rest). Returns one row per finalized US trading day and asset with net inflow, total net assets, cumulative inflow since launch and value traded, all in USD. History by asset: BTC and ETH since 2025-05-20, SOL since 2025-10-28, XRP since 2026-09-08.get_funding_heatmapCall this when the user asks for the full current funding table across the ~30 most traded Binance perps (28-30 rows; contracts without a live funding print are skipped), or the funding rate of one specific coin. For a pre-ranked top-10 of the most extreme funding rates, use get_top_movers instead. Returns per-symbol funding rate (per settlement interval), 24h open interest change and 24h price change for the most traded Binance USDT-M perpetuals. Positive funding means longs pay shorts.get_funding_arbitrageCall this when the user asks about funding arbitrage, funding rate differences between exchanges, or delta-neutral carry trades. Compares funding across every venue on the board, from Binance, OKX and Bybit to Hyperliquid, dYdX and the smaller perp venues fed by the venue snapshot, for 12 major perps and returns the best long/short venue per symbol with gross and net annualized APR (net of taker fees and weekly rebalance cost). Each row lists its first 5 venue legs; pass symbol for every leg of one perp.get_pressure_scoresCall this when the user asks which coins are crowded or over-leveraged, or asks for the pressure/derivatives-stress score of specific coins. For a quick top-10 ranking of the highest-stress coins right now, use get_top_movers instead. Each symbol gets a 0-100 composite score built from funding rate, 1h/4h/24h open interest deltas and basis, with a LONG/SHORT/NEUTRAL direction and a plain-language regime label.get_top_moversCall this when the user asks what is moving in crypto derivatives right now, which coins have the biggest open interest changes, the most extreme funding, the widest basis, or the highest derivatives stress. Returns four top-10 lists in one call.get_cot_positioningCall this when the user asks how hedge funds or institutions are positioned in Bitcoin or Ethereum, or about the CFTC Commitments of Traders report. Returns net positions in contracts, week-over-week changes, open interest and notable extremes/streaks, from official CFTC data updated every Friday. Note: a large share of hedge fund shorts is the market-neutral basis trade, so the weekly change carries more signal than the level.get_options_snapshotCall this when the user asks where the big options bets sit, about call/put walls, gamma exposure (GEX), the zero-gamma level, implied volatility (DVOL) or the IV term structure for Bitcoin or Ethereum, across options venues or on one venue. Daily snapshot of the listed option chains of every options venue we record, summed by default or one venue with venue: the call wall (largest call open interest above spot) and put wall (largest put open interest below spot), the largest bars on the whole axis, top strikes by open interest, put/call ratio, dealer hedging map, ATM IV by expiry (calls and puts interpolated at the money, iv_source names the venue whose quotes price the chain), each venue's open interest (venues_included), and per expiry the open interest by side, the max pain strike (where the open contracts as a group pay out the least at settlement, not a price target) and the one-sigma implied move the ATM IV prices (expiries). DVOL is Deribit's index whatever the venue.get_coinbase_premiumCall this when the user asks whether US investors are buying or selling Bitcoin or Ethereum, about the Coinbase Premium, or what the cash-and-carry basis trade pays. Returns the latest daily premium in percent, 7-day average, same-sign streak, the last 30 days, and annualized quarterly carry yields. History since 2017; positive premium = US buying pressure. The kimchi and Turkey premium daily rows cover the last 7 days; pass days (up to 90) for more.get_flow_toxicityCall this when the user asks whether informed or toxic order flow is building, about VPIN, or whether market makers are under pressure in Bitcoin, Ethereum or Solana. Returns the current VPIN (0 = balanced, 1 = fully one-sided), its 90-day percentile, the danger threshold and the 24h average. Elevated readings historically precede volatility; VPIN says nothing about direction.get_options_flowCall this when the user asks what big options players are buying, about block trades, or whether call or put premium dominates today. Returns 24h call vs put premium bought (net of the sold legs of the same multi-leg block or combo, so a spread counts its net premium), the block-trade share, the multi-leg structure count, and the largest prints of the last 48 hours with strikes, premium, IV, structure id and venue (Deribit or OKX).
