BlackSwan Server

Real-time crypto risk intelligence via the Model Context Protocol. Two AI agents monitor what's happening 24/7 — before news breaks, as it breaks, and why it happened. Enables agents to have real-time risk intelligence and awareness, not yesterday's news.

Tools

Tool	What it answers
Flare	"Is something happening right now?" — Precursor detection from a 15-minute signal window
Core	"What's the overall risk environment?" — State synthesis from a 60-minute signal window

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blackswan": {
      "type": "http",

Then ask Claude: "What does Flare say about current crypto risk?"

status	"clear" or "alert"
severity	"none", "low", "medium", "high", or "critical"
checked_at	ISO 8601 timestamp
assessment	Natural language risk assessment
signals	Array of detected signals with type, source, and detail

Core

Field	Description
agent	Always "core"
data_age	Human-readable age (e.g. "1 hour ago")
timestamp	ISO 8601 timestamp
environment	"stable", "elevated", "stressed", or "crisis"

key_factors	Array of main risk factors
sources_used	Data sources used in the assessment
data_freshness	How fresh the underlying data is

Interpreting Results

Flare Severity

Level	Meaning
none	No precursors detected, markets quiet
low	Minor signals, worth noting but not actionable
medium	Notable signals, warrants attention
high	Strong precursors, elevated risk of sudden moves
critical	Extreme signals, immediate risk of major event

Core Environment

Level	Meaning
stable	Normal conditions, low systemic risk
elevated	Above-normal risk, some stress indicators
stressed	Significant stress across multiple indicators
crisis	Severe market stress, active dislocation or contagion

Error Responses

HTTP Status	Meaning
200	Success
502	Agent output failed validation
503	No recent agent runs — system may be starting up
500	Unexpected server error

Non-200 responses return {"error": "..."} with a human-readable message.
