Track market movers with Windsurf Cascade

Let Cascade pull the biggest market swings using `get_movers` to instantly flag high-volatility tokens. It scans the top winners and losers, then automatically uses `get_ticker` to pull pricing data for the standout assets. Cascade skips the manual prompting steps by feeding these CoinLore data points directly into your active workspace context. The MCP server feeds these data points straight to Cascade, which plans the next steps to analyze the trading volume on those specific movers.

Analyze exchange depth on the fly

Cascade uses `get_coin_markets` and `get_exchange` to map out where a token is actually trading. It traces the top 50 exchanges and digs into the top 100 trading pairs without you writing a single API request. This setup lets Windsurf build a complete liquidity profile for any CoinLore asset. By pulling live exchange data through the MCP Server, your agent maps out market depth while you focus on writing your strategy.

Historical pricing for strategy backtests

Pull a full year of daily pricing using `get_ohlcv` to feed historical data directly into your local backtesting scripts via this MCP connection. Cascade reads the output, structures the CSV, and runs your test file in one clean loop. Combining this historical data with live stats from `get_global_stats` gives your agent the context it needs to evaluate market conditions. You get raw CoinLore market numbers directly inside your Windsurf workspace.
