Crypto Whitepapers MCP Server

An MCP server serving as a structured knowledge base of crypto whitepapers for AI agents to access, analyze, and learn from.

Features

• Search Whitepapers: Use DuckDuckGo to find whitepaper PDFs for cryptocurrency projects.
• Load Whitepapers: Download and index whitepaper PDFs into the knowledge base.
• Query Knowledge Base: Query whitepaper content with optional project filtering.
• List Projects: View all projects available in the knowledge base.
• Claude Desktop Integration: Access tools and prompts via MCP in Claude Desktop.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+
• uv for dependency management and running
• Internet access.
• Claude Desktop for MCP integration (optional)

Setup

1. Clone the Repository:

git clone https://github.com/kukapay/crypto-whitepapers-mcp.git
   cd crypto-whitepapers-mcp

2. Install Dependencies with uv:

uv sync

5. Integrate with Claude Desktop (Optional):

{
         "mcpServers": {
             "crypto-whitepapers": {
                 "command": "uv",
                 "args": [
                     "--directory",
                     "/absolute/path/to/crypto-whitepapers-mcp"   
                     "run",
                     "crypto-whitepapers-mcp"
                 ]
             }
         }
     }

Replace `/absolute/path/to/crypto-whitepapers-mcp` with the absolute path to the repository.

Usage

Tools

The following tools are available via the MCP server:

• `list_available_projects()`: Lists all projects in the knowledge base (derived from PDF filenames).
  • Example: `list_available_projects()`
  • Returns: JSON list of project names.

• `search_whitepaper(project_name: str)`: Searches for a project's whitepaper PDF using DuckDuckGo.
  • Example: `search_whitepaper("bitcoin")`
  • Returns: JSON list of up to 5 results with title, URL, and snippet.

• `load_whitepaper(project_name: str, url: str)`: Downloads a whitepaper PDF from a URL and loads it into the knowledge base.
  • Example: `load_whitepaper("bitcoin", "https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf")`
  • Returns: Success or error message.

• `ask_whitepapers(query: str, project_name: str = None)`: Searches the knowledge base for a query, optionally filtered by project.
  • Example: `ask_whitepapers("blockchain technology", "bitcoin")`
  • Returns: Up to 5 matching text snippets.

Prompts

• `analyze_tokenomics(project_name: str)`: Analyzes tokenomics (distribution, supply, incentives) in a project's whitepaper using the `ask_whitepapers` tool.
  • Example: In Claude Desktop, run "Analyze the tokenomics of Ethereum."

Examples

1. List available projects:

List all available projects.

2. Search for a whitepaper:
