Orchard Data MCP

What orchard-data-mcp does

orchard-data-mcp exposes orchard-data endpoints as MCP tools for agents that need current market and auxiliary data. Its finance coverage includes US equities, ETFs, crypto spot prices, perpetual funding, options-implied moves, macro indicators, sentiment signals, SEC filings, insider trades, and prediction-market odds. Additional tools handle web-page extraction, email checks, domain inspection, EVM token safety, and prompt-injection screening.

The server is suited to pay-per-call workflows rather than applications that require a subscription or a conventional API key. Calls are priced individually, with listed prices ranging from fractions of a cent to $0.10 depending on the operation.

How it works

Run the package as an MCP process through npx. list_products returns the available products and their live prices, while get_feed_status reports feed age so an agent can check freshness before making a paid request. These two tools work without credentials.

Paid calls use the x402 payment flow. The request receives payment requirements, the client signs a USDC transfer authorization with a configured key, and the request is retried with a payment header. Settlement uses the x402 facilitator and EIP-3009 on Base, so the buyer does not pay gas for settlement. The server limits payment to the price published for the selected tool.

Setup and configuration

The minimal command is:

npx -y orchard-data-mcp

An MCP client can register it with a stdio configuration such as:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "orchard-data": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "orchard-data-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

This configuration enables the two free tools. To call paid tools, add EVM_PRIVATE_KEY containing a dedicated burner wallet private key. The wallet should hold USDC on Base; the project recommends keeping it separate from a primary wallet. Without that variable, paid tools explain their cost instead of completing the request.

Tools and capabilities

Market and trading tools provide live US quotes, ETF quotes for SPY, QQQ, DIA, and IWM, BTC/ETH/SOL spot data, crypto market totals and dominance, OHLCV candles, expected moves, dip indicators, movers, macro values, funding rates and history, fear-and-greed readings, and sentiment summaries. Other tools expose StockTwits and WallStreetBets activity, CoinGecko trending coins, Polymarket odds, SEC filings, and insider transactions.

get_symbol_dossier groups a quote, one-year technical data, expected move, regime, and news catalysts into one ticker-level response. read_web_page returns page content as markdown, while verify_email, get_domain_info, check_token, and check_prompt_injection provide focused validation and safety checks.

Limitations and notes

Data freshness varies by feed, so agents should call get_feed_status before paying for time-sensitive results. Paid access depends on a funded Base wallet and USDC. The server is intended for data retrieval and analysis; its outputs should not be treated as investment advice or as a substitute for independent verification.
