Run live market briefings from Cursor
Hive exposes the raw ingredients for a market briefing through exact tools and task toolsets: top movers, global market stats, DEX pool activity, derivatives funding, and prediction-market signals. Called from Cursor, those tools replace manual research across CoinGecko, DeFiLlama, Polymarket, and an exchange funding scanner. CoinGecko MCP and Birdeye cover narrower surfaces; agents using those still have to stitch more providers together themselves.
Client: Cursor · Workflow: Market intelligence
Hive tools used
get_gainers_losers— Top movers for the selected market and time window.get_global_stats— Global crypto market cap, volume, and dominance context.codex_filter_prediction_events— Prediction-market event discovery for event-driven context.get_funding_rates— Cross-exchange funding rates flagged at extremes (a sentiment indicator).
Steps
- 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 the market, funding, DEX, and prediction tools used for briefings.
- Ask Cursor for a briefing
In Cursor chat, type "give me a 30-second market briefing for crypto right now." Cursor uses search_tools or hive://toolsets, then calls market, funding, DEX, and prediction tools to assemble the answer.
- Drill into a narrative
When the briefing mentions a hot area, ask Cursor to "list relevant tokens by 7d performance with TVL." Cursor can call get_gainers_losers, get_coins_market_data, and get_yield_pools, then return a ranked table.
- Cross-check with prediction markets
For event-driven markets ("Fed rate cut probability", "BTC > $100K by year-end"), ask Cursor to call codex_filter_prediction_events and then inspect specific markets with codex_prediction_markets or codex_prediction_market_price.
- 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.
