Market Report Skill

Generate a comprehensive crypto market report by systematically pulling data from multiple CMC MCP tools.

Prerequisites

Before generating a report, verify the CMC MCP tools are available. If tools fail or return connection errors, ask the user to set up the MCP connection:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cmc-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.coinmarketcap.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-CMC-MCP-API-KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Get your API key from https://pro.coinmarketcap.com/login

Core Principle

Fetch data from all relevant tools to provide a complete market picture. Users want a one-stop summary they can rely on daily.

• ETF flows (BTC and ETH)

Step 2: Market Technical Analysis

Call get_crypto_marketcap_technical_analysis to get:

Step 3: Leverage and Derivatives

Call get_global_crypto_derivatives_metrics to get:

• Total open interest and changes
• Funding rates (positive = longs paying shorts)
• BTC liquidations (long vs short bias)
• Futures vs perpetuals breakdown

Step 4: Trending Narratives

Call trending_crypto_narratives to get:

• Top trending themes/sectors
• Market cap and performance of each narrative
• Top coins within each narrative

Step 5: Upcoming Catalysts

Call get_upcoming_macro_events to get:

• Fed meetings and rate decisions

Step 6: BTC and ETH Quick Check

Adapting the Report

• Quick summary: If user asks for brief overview, focus on Market Snapshot and BTC/ETH sections only
• Full report: Include all sections
• Specific focus: If user asks about derivatives or narratives specifically, expand that section with more detail

Handling Tool Failures

If individual tools fail during report generation:

1. get_global_metrics_latest fails: Critical for Market Snapshot. Retry once, then note "Global metrics unavailable" and skip that section.
2. get_crypto_marketcap_technical_analysis fails: Skip Market Technicals section, proceed with other data.
3. get_global_crypto_derivatives_metrics fails: Skip Leverage & Sentiment section, note "Derivatives data unavailable."
4. trending_crypto_narratives fails: Skip Trending Narratives section, proceed with core metrics.
5. get_upcoming_macro_events fails: Skip Upcoming Catalysts section, proceed with market data.
6. get_crypto_quotes_latest fails: Note "BTC/ETH price check unavailable" but continue with global metrics.

Always deliver a partial report with available data rather than no report at all. Clearly note which sections are missing and why.
