Install AlgoVault via Smithery

One command installs AlgoVault into Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, or Claude Code. Smithery picks the right config file for your client.

Setup

npx -y @smithery/cli mcp add algovault/crypto-quant-signal-mcp --client <name>

Replace <name> with: claude, cursor, cline, or claude-code.

The CLI writes a Smithery-gateway entry into your client’s config. It carries no API key, so this path is the free tier.

Example: install for Claude Desktop

$ npx -y @smithery/cli mcp add algovault/crypto-quant-signal-mcp --client claude

Restart Claude Desktop. Open a chat and ask “Use AlgoVault to check BTC 4h.” AlgoVault’s tools are now available.

Troubleshooting

• smithery: command not found — use npx -y @smithery/cli (not bare smithery). The CLI doesn’t install globally by default.
• Existing AlgoVault entry overwritten — Smithery preserves other servers but replaces existing AlgoVault entries. Back up your config first if you’ve hand-edited.
• npm 404 on @smithery/cli — confirm npm is configured for the public registry. Corporate proxies sometimes block.
• Install succeeds but client doesn’t see AlgoVault — restart the client after install. Most MCP clients read their config file once at app start; in-place edits during a running session won’t take effect until the next launch.

FAQ

Which clients does Smithery support? Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Claude Code and Codex, among others.

Free tier setup? Yes. Smithery’s entry carries no API key, so this path is the free tier. The first time your client connects, Smithery asks you to authorize it in your browser.

Can I see AlgoVault on the Smithery registry? Yes — smithery.ai/servers/algovault/crypto-quant-signal-mcp.

What does Smithery actually do? It adds an entry for Smithery’s gateway (server.smithery.ai/algovault/crypto-quant-signal-mcp/mcp) to your client’s config, and your calls reach AlgoVault through that gateway. For a paid-tier key, add AlgoVault by hand instead; that connects to api.algovault.com directly.
