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.

Snapshot 2026-05-19 — live numbers refreshed in-page from https://algovault.com/api/performance-public.

Setup

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

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

Smithery writes the right MCP-server entry into your client’s config file. If your client needs an API key, the CLI prompts for AV_API_KEY (or skip to use the free tier).

Example: install for Claude Desktop

$ npx -y @smithery/cli install crypto-quant-signal-mcp --client claude
✔ AlgoVault MCP installed for Claude Desktop.
✔ Config written to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json.
ℹ Restart Claude Desktop to load.

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.
• “Client not detected” — Smithery probes your machine for installed clients. If your client lives in a non-default path, pass --config-path manually.
• 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.
