Run live market briefings from Cursor

Hive's market_briefing is a single MCP tool that synthesizes a complete market state — top movers, narrative rotation, sentiment, derivatives funding extremes, prediction-market signals, and overall regime — into one structured response. Called from Cursor, it replaces 30 minutes of manual research across CoinGecko, DefiLlama, Polymarket, and a CCXT funding scanner with a 15-second tool call. CoinGecko MCP and Birdeye don't ship a synthesized briefing tool; agents using those have to compute the briefing themselves by stitching dozens of raw endpoints together.

Client: Cursor · Use case: Market intelligence

Hive tools used

  • market_briefing — Synthesized market summary with overall conditions, leaders/laggards, narratives, sentiment, and major events.
  • get_narratives — Active narratives ranked by 24h/7d performance, with constituent tokens and capital flow direction.
  • get_polymarket_events — Live Polymarket prediction-market signals — the closest thing to a real-time probability oracle for upcoming events.
  • get_funding_rates — Cross-exchange funding rates flagged at extremes (a sentiment indicator).

Steps

  1. Add Hive to Cursor (if not already)

    See the Cursor install guide. The mcp.json snippet is identical across recipes — your existing Cursor + Hive setup already supports market_briefing without any per-tool integration.

  2. Ask Cursor for a briefing

    In Cursor chat, type "give me a 30-second market briefing for crypto right now." Cursor calls market_briefing with no arguments — Hive returns a summary covering the last 24 hours.

  3. Drill into a narrative

    When the briefing mentions a hot narrative ("AI agents up 15% on the week"), ask Cursor to "list the top 5 AI-agent tokens by 7d performance with TVL." Cursor calls get_narratives + get_yields_pools and returns a ranked table.

  4. Cross-check with prediction markets

    For event-driven markets ("Fed rate cut probability", "BTC > $100K by year-end"), ask Cursor to call get_polymarket_events. The returned market prices are real-time probability estimates, often more accurate than pundit forecasts.

  5. Save the briefing as a daily note

    Cursor can write the briefing to a Markdown file (e.g., notes/2026-05-03.md) with a templated structure — overall, narratives, funding extremes, prediction-market signals, watch list. Ask it to repeat the call daily and append.

Example prompt

Give me a market briefing right now: overall regime, top 3 narratives, any funding extremes, and 2-3 Polymarket events worth watching.

Sample synthesized output

Briefing as of 2026-05-03T14:50:00Z (fetched live via Hive market_briefing):

Overall regime: Risk-on. BTC +3.2% / ETH +5.1% / SOL +7.8% on 7d. Funding rates positive but not extreme.

Top 3 narratives (24h):
1. AI agents (+12%) — VIRTUAL, FET, AGIX leading
2. RWA tokenization (+8%) — ONDO, MKR
3. Solana DeFi (+6%) — JUP, RAY

Funding extremes:
- HYPE perp on Hyperliquid: +0.18% per 8h (longs paying heavily — caution)
- SUI perp on Bybit: -0.04% (shorts paying — counter-trend)

Polymarket events worth watching:
1. "Fed cuts rates by July 2026?" — Yes at $0.42 (42% implied)
2. "BTC above $120K by end of 2026?" — Yes at $0.58 (58% implied)
3. "Ethereum spot ETF flows positive next week?" — Yes at $0.71
