Setup
Setup guide
- 11. Go to your Switchy workspace settings and click 'Integrations' in the sidebar. 2. Find Token Metrics in the MCP directory and click 'Connect'. 3. Open your Token Metrics account dashboard and navigate to the API section to generate a new API key. 4. Paste the key into Switchy's connection dialog and click 'Authorize'. 5. Return to any Space and type '@Token Metrics get price for BTC' to confirm the connection works. 6. If you see current Bitcoin price data, the integration is live. 7. Use @Token Metrics in any message to invoke tools — the AI will route your request to the appropriate endpoint based on what you ask for.
What teammates see: by default, memories from Token Metrics are scoped to the Space (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.

@tokenmetrics what's the current price and 24h volume for ETH? I need to check if there's enough liquidity before placing a large order.
Based on Token Metrics data, Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading at $3,247.82 with a 24-hour trading volume of $18.4B. Market cap stands at $390.2B, ranking it #2 overall. The 24h price change is +2.3%. Volume-to-market-cap ratio is 4.7%, indicating healthy liquidity for your order size. Note that this is a snapshot; prices update in real-time and may shift during order execution.
This example shows the Get Price tool retrieving live market data. Requires an API key with basic read access. Token Metrics updates prices frequently, but crypto markets move fast — always verify liquidity on your exchange before executing large trades, as aggregated data may lag exchange-specific order books.
@tokenmetrics show me the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap right now, filtered to exclude stablecoins. I'm researching portfolio diversification options.
Here are the top 10 non-stablecoin cryptocurrencies by market cap: 1) Bitcoin (BTC) - $1.2T, 2) Ethereum (ETH) - $390B, 3) Binance Coin (BNB) - $89B, 4) Solana (SOL) - $78B, 5) XRP - $142B, 6) Cardano (ADA) - $34B, 7) Avalanche (AVAX) - $12B, 8) Polkadot (DOT) - $9.8B, 9) Chainlink (LINK) - $8.4B, 10) Polygon (MATIC) - $7.2B. This ranking reflects current market conditions and can shift significantly during volatile periods.
This uses the Get Top Market Cap Tokens tool to surface high-level market structure. The MCP returns ranked lists, but filtering logic (like excluding stablecoins) happens in the AI layer. Market cap rankings change daily; this is a research starting point, not investment advice. Token Metrics covers 6,000+ tokens, so you can drill into specific sectors beyond the top 10.
@tokenmetrics pull the RSI and MACD indicators for BTC on the 4-hour chart, then summarize whether the technical setup looks bullish or bearish for a swing trade.
For Bitcoin (BTC) on the 4-hour timeframe: RSI is at 58.2 (neutral-to-bullish territory, above 50 but not overbought), and MACD shows a bullish crossover with the signal line at +142.3, histogram expanding positively. The technical setup leans bullish for a swing trade — momentum is building without hitting overbought extremes. However, watch for resistance near $68K; a rejection there could invalidate the setup. Consider pairing this with volume analysis and broader market sentiment before entering.
This combines the Get Technical Indicators tool with AI synthesis to translate raw data into actionable insight. Requires specifying symbol, interval, and indicator type. Token Metrics provides the numbers; the AI interprets them. Technical indicators are backward-looking — they don't predict black swan events or sudden news-driven moves. Always use stop-losses and confirm signals across multiple timeframes.
Use-case deep-dives
When Token Metrics fits weekly treasury check-ins
A 6-person DeFi startup holds treasury in 12 tokens and reviews allocation every Monday. Token Metrics wins here because the team needs real-time price data, market cap rankings, and technical indicators in one place without switching between CoinGecko tabs and TradingView charts. The Get Price and Get Top Market Cap Tokens tools pull current valuations directly into a shared Switchy workspace where the CFO and two engineers can annotate decisions. The threshold: if you're trading intraday or need sub-minute candles, the technical indicators tool refreshes too slowly and you'll want a dedicated exchange API. For weekly or daily reviews where the team discusses 'should we rebalance into top-20 tokens,' this MCP keeps the data in the conversation instead of forcing someone to screenshot dashboards.
How this MCP supports token vetting workflows
A 15-member investment DAO evaluates 3-5 new tokens per month and votes on allocations in Discord threads. Token Metrics is the right call when the research lead needs to pull metadata, supply metrics, and contract details for tokens that aren't household names. The Get Tokens tool surfaces comprehensive listings so the team can compare circulating supply, total supply, and contract addresses without manually scraping Etherscan. The trading signals tool adds a quantitative layer to qualitative research—members reference entry signals in their vote rationale. The limit: if your DAO focuses on pre-launch or testnet tokens, Token Metrics won't have coverage and you'll need on-chain indexers instead. For established tokens with market history, this MCP centralizes the numbers your DAO is already looking up separately.
When Token Metrics answers 'why did my balance change' tickets
A 4-person support team at a non-custodial wallet handles 40 tickets daily, many asking why token values dropped overnight. Token Metrics fits when agents need to quickly confirm market-wide moves versus wallet-specific bugs. The Get Price tool lets an agent pull the last 24-hour volume and price change for the token in question, then paste that context into the ticket response—'SOL dropped 8% across all exchanges today, your balance is correct.' The Get Technical Indicators tool helps when a user asks if now is a good time to swap; the agent can reference RSI or moving averages without pretending to give financial advice. The boundary: if your wallet supports 200+ obscure tokens, Token Metrics won't have data for the long tail and you'll need a fallback like CoinGecko's free tier. For top-100 tokens, this MCP turns price questions into 30-second lookups.
Frequently asked
What does the Token Metrics MCP do in Switchy?
It pulls real-time crypto price data, technical indicators, and trading signals into your Switchy workspace. Your team can query market cap rankings, check token metadata, or get entry/exit signals without leaving the conversation. Useful for crypto research, portfolio tracking, or building trading workflows that need live blockchain data.
Do I need a Token Metrics subscription to use this MCP?
Yes. You need an active Token Metrics account and an API key. Switchy stores the key securely and uses it to authenticate every request. If your Token Metrics plan has rate limits or restricted endpoints, those apply here too—the MCP can't bypass your vendor tier.
Can it execute trades or connect to my exchange wallet?
No. This MCP only reads data from Token Metrics—prices, indicators, signals. It doesn't place orders, move funds, or connect to Coinbase, Binance, or any exchange. If you want to act on the signals, you'll need a separate integration or manual execution.
How is this different from checking Token Metrics directly?
The MCP brings the data into your Switchy workspace where your team already collaborates. Instead of context-switching to the Token Metrics dashboard, you query it inline—useful for shared research threads or automated reports. You lose the vendor's charts and UI, but gain conversational access.
Who on the team should connect the Token Metrics MCP?
Whoever owns your Token Metrics account and has the API key. Typically a trader, analyst, or engineering lead. Once connected, any Switchy workspace member can query the tools, but they're all hitting your shared Token Metrics rate limit—coordinate usage if your plan is restrictive.
