Real-time market tracking for Windsurf

Cascade can hit `get_quotes` or `list_listings` the moment you ask for a price update. It interprets the raw JSON and updates your project files instantly. You avoid manual lookups. Cascade manages the data flow between the API and your open files.

Native crypto conversion logic

Use `price_conversion` to handle currency math inside your codebase. Cascade handles the API handshake so your app logic stays clean. It checks the latest rates before committing any code changes. Your logic reflects current market values.

Deep project context from CoinMarketCap

Fetch branding or technical details using `get_metadata` to populate your UI components. Cascade maps these assets to your project structure automatically. This MCP Server provides the raw data your agent needs to build dashboards. No more guessing about symbol IDs or exchange rankings.
