Endpoint Security80
Transport & Reachability100
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
Install

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.

MCP tools · 4 exposed · ~391 tokens

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 →

Tool Tokens
get_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.

NameTypeReqDescription
limitintegerMax events (default 20)
symbolstringyesOne Shingou symbol, e.g. BTC-USD

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_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.

NameTypeReqDescription
symbolsarrayyesShingou symbols, e.g. ["BTC-USD","ETH-USD"] (see get_symbols)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_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.

NameTypeReqDescription

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_symbols ~31

The supported symbol universe with each symbol's free-plan freshness. Static — costs no quota and needs no API key.

Common questions

What is the Shingou MCP server?

Shingou is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.shingou/sentiment. Hourly crypto news sentiment and typed market events, with sources on every signal. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://api.shingou.io/mcp).

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.
