Overview

The whale-tracker-mcp server is a Python-based implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that integrates with the Whale Alert API. It enables real-time tracking and analysis of large cryptocurrency transactions ("whale" movements) by exposing tools, resources, and prompts to MCP-compatible clients like Claude Desktop. This server is designed for cryptocurrency enthusiasts, developers, and analysts who want to monitor whale activity directly within their LLM-powered workflows. The server provides tools to fetch recent transactions, retrieve transaction details, and analyze whale activity. It supports asynchronous API calls and secure API key management via environment variables.

Q&A

Is there a learning curve for using the API?

Minimal—once the server is running, you call the provided tools (get_recent_transactions, get_transaction_details) with simple parameters or use the whale://transactions/{blockchain} resource for quick context.

What programming environment is required to run whale‑tracker‑mcp?

It needs Python 3.10 or higher. Install dependencies via uv or pip, then launch the MCP server; it will handle asynchronous calls with httpx.

Asked by Ravi Chandrasekaran · Jul 15, 2025

Can I get real‑time whale transaction data in Claude Desktop?

Yes. The MCP server exposes get_recent_transactions and query_whale_activity tools that Claude Desktop can call, providing live updates on large transfers.

Asked by Timur Nazarov · Jun 28, 2025

How do I secure my Whale Alert API key with whale-tracker-mcp?

Place your key in a .env file as WHALE_ALERT_API_KEY or set the environment variable directly; the server reads this automatically, keeping the key out of code.
