crypto-research
Performs comprehensive due diligence on a cryptocurrency using CoinMarketCap MCP data. Use when users ask about a specific coin beyond just its price. This includes questions like "what is [coin]", "is [coin] legit", "analyze [coin]", tokenomics questions, holder distribution, or any request for deep information about a single cryptocurrency. Trigger: "research [coin]", "tell me about [coin]", "should I invest in [coin]", "DYOR [coin]", "is [coin] safe", "/crypto-research"
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bryan-cmc/crypto-research-using-cmc-mcpWhat This Skill Does
The crypto-research skill acts as your personal financial analyst, leveraging the CoinMarketCap MCP (Model Context Protocol) to deliver institutional-grade due diligence on digital assets. It automates the extraction and synthesis of complex on-chain and market data, transforming raw numbers into actionable insights. The skill follows a rigorous multi-step analysis framework, covering fundamental project details, market volatility, tokenomics, holder concentration, and technical indicators. Instead of relying on hearsay or social media sentiment, this skill provides a structured, objective report based on real-time data to help you make informed decisions.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw agent, use the command:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bryan-cmc/crypto-research-using-cmc-mcp
Ensure you have a valid CoinMarketCap API key from the CMC Pro portal. You must configure the mcpServers settings in your agent's configuration file as specified in the official documentation to enable connectivity with the CMC API.
Use Cases
This skill is perfect for:
- Evaluating a new project before participating in a presale or purchase.
- Conducting deep-dive tokenomic reviews to identify potential sell pressure.
- Analyzing whale accumulation patterns to understand smart-money movements.
- Assessing the technical health of a coin using RSI, MACD, and moving averages.
- Cross-referencing project whitepapers with current on-chain utility.
Example Prompts
- "Perform a deep dive on Solana (SOL); is the tokenomic structure sustainable for the next two years?"
- "Research PEPE coin and tell me if the current holder distribution shows signs of excessive whale concentration."
- "Is Avalanche (AVAX) currently overbought based on its 30-day technical indicators?"
Tips & Limitations
- Data Accuracy: Always verify significant financial decisions by checking secondary sources; the crypto market is highly volatile and data can lag.
- Context: The skill works best when provided with specific concerns (e.g., 'is it safe' vs 'tell me about').
- Dependencies: If the skill returns an error, verify your API key limits and connectivity to the CMC MCP server.
- Scope: It focuses on fundamental and technical data; it does not provide legal or tax advice. Always practice DYOR (Do Your Own Research).
