The REST key travels only in the query string, errors come back as HTTP 200 with a text message, and no status page, SLA or OpenAPI document was found.\n\n**CryptoQuant MCP server.** CryptoQuant's MCP server reaches about 245 on-chain and market metrics through nine tools, with OAuth sign-in, a keyless route that needs no account and a listing in the official MCP registry. On-chain data needs the $109-a-month Professional plan, the tool schemas aren't public, and CryptoQuant's own guides still call the server beta.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Alpha Vantage\n\n1. Check every 200 response for `Error Message`, `Information` or `Note` keys before parsing data. The API does not signal failures or limits by status code\n2. Budget 25 requests a day on a free key. Real-time, 15-minute delayed and intraday US data, index data and several indicators need a premium plan\n3. Keep `outputsize=compact` unless full history is needed, and ask for `datatype=csv` on long series to cut tokens\n4. Use the hosted MCP server with OAuth at `https://mcp.alphavantage.co/mcp`. The `?apikey=` MCP URL is marked deprecated\n5. Confirm the owner's use is personal and non-commercial, or that a commercial agreement exists, before acting for a business\n\n### CryptoQuant MCP server\n\n1. Call `discover_endpoints`, then `get_endpoint_info`, then `query_data`; many endpoints need `exchange`, `token` or `symbol` and return nothing without them\n2. Expect 403 or an upgrade notice for on-chain metrics below Professional, and pass the notice to the user as returned\n3. Use `yyyyMMdd` dates for `window=day` and `yyyyMMddTHHmmss` for other windows, and state the latest timestamp in answers\n4. Prefer the user's own API key or account over keyless; keyless shares one rate-limit pool and has less history\n5.
