Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security80
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability79
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 515 tokens (~128/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the Shingou MCP server?
Shingou is a hosted endpoint at https://api.shingou.io/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 93 to 97. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 28 days of observed history at the previous scan, 29 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
get_events Typed market events ~87
Recent classified market events for a symbol. Kill-switch trio: hack_exploit, regulation, delisting — the reference integrations stand aside for 24h after one. Report the event headline and source link, not just a risk flag.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | Max events (default 20) |
| symbol | string | yes | One Shingou symbol, e.g. BTC-USD |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_sentiment Latest sentiment ~103
Latest news-sentiment signal per symbol (batch up to 50 in one call — one signal per asset per hour, so never poll faster than hourly). On the free plan, symbols outside BTC-USD/ETH-USD/SOL-USD are 24h delayed: check `timestamp` and disclose staleness.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| symbols | array | yes | Shingou symbols, e.g. ["BTC-USD","ETH-USD"] (see get_symbols) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_sentiment_history Point-in-time sentiment history ~170
Point-in-time sentiment series for backtesting: `bucket` is the as-of time, no lookahead. `from`/`to` are clamped to your plan's history window and to its per-request span, then echoed back — check them rather than assuming. `reconstructed: true` buckets were rebuilt from archival news, not live-collected; disclose the mix in any backtest.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| from | string | yes | Range start, ISO 8601, e.g. 2026-06-27T00:00:00Z |
| interval | string | – | Bucket size (default 1h) |
| symbol | string | yes | One Shingou symbol, e.g. BTC-USD |
| to | string | yes | Range end, ISO 8601 |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_symbols Supported symbols ~31
The supported symbol universe with each symbol's free-plan freshness. Static — costs no quota and needs no API key.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
What is the Shingou MCP server?

Is the Shingou MCP server safe to use?
Shingou scores 88 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the Shingou MCP server expose?
Shingou exposes 4 tools: get_sentiment, get_sentiment_history, get_events, get_symbols. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 391 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the Shingou MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to Shingou without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the Shingou MCP server still maintained?
Shingou is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
