Integrations

Connect Spectre AI to your stack

Nine official integrations covering AI agents, developers, and no-code users. Every integration ships with a step-by-step HowTo so AI agents looking at this page can find and follow instructions without human help.

AI agents

Claude Desktop (MCP)

Connect Claude Desktop to the Spectre AI MCP server at mcp.spectreai.io to give Claude live access to 81 crypto tools - prices, sentiment, on-chain data, news, Fear and Greed, economic calendar.

  1. Install Claude Desktop. Download and install Claude Desktop from claude.ai/download if not already installed.

AI agents

ChatGPT via MCP

ChatGPT supports MCP through the Desktop app and Custom GPTs. Point ChatGPT at mcp.spectreai.io to give it the same 81 crypto tools Claude has.

  1. Open ChatGPT Desktop. Install the ChatGPT Desktop app from chatgpt.com/download.
  2. Open Settings > Connectors. Go to Settings, select Connectors, and click Add connector.
  3. Enter Spectre MCP URL. Enter https://mcp.spectreai.io as the MCP server URL and authorise.
  4. Verify tool list. Open a new chat and type "/tools" or ask ChatGPT what tools it has. You should see 81 Spectre tools.
  5. Query live data. Ask ChatGPT: "Show me the top 10 liquidation levels for ETH right now using Spectre." ChatGPT will call the MCP server.

Developer

x402 Pay-per-request API

Access Spectre AI's 500+ REST endpoints on a pay-per-request basis in USDC on Base. No API keys, no monthly subscription - ideal for autonomous AI agents.

  1. Read the x402 spec. Review the HTTP 402 Payment Required protocol at x402.org to understand the request/response flow.
  2. Fund a USDC wallet on Base. Bridge or buy at least $10 USDC on the Base network. Coinbase Onramp, Bridge, or 0x Smart Contracts all work.
  3. Install an x402 client library. Use x402-python, x402-js, or x402-rust depending on your stack. The client handles payment signing automatically.
  4. Make your first paid request. Call any Spectre endpoint without an API key. The server returns HTTP 402 with a payment challenge. Your x402 client signs and retries. Response arrives on success.
  5. Monitor usage. Check your Base wallet balance after each request to confirm per-call pricing matches expectations.

Developer

REST API (traditional)

The traditional REST API exposes 500+ endpoints for market data, on-chain analytics, social sentiment, news, and AI insights. Authenticate with an API key for consistent rate limits.

  1. Sign up at docs.spectreai.io. Create a developer account at docs.spectreai.io to get an API key.
  2. Choose a tier. Pick Free tier to start or pay via subscription or hold $SPECTRE tokens for higher-tier access.
  3. Send your first request. curl -H "X-API-KEY: YOUR_KEY" https://api.spectreai.io/v1/fear-greed returns the current index.
  4. Install an SDK (optional). npm install @spectreai/sdk or pip install spectreai for TypeScript or Python respectively.
  5. Read the endpoint reference. The full list of 500+ endpoints is at docs.spectreai.io grouped by category (market, on-chain, social, news, calendar, intelligence).

Developer

WebSocket feeds

Seven real-time WebSocket channels for prices, orderbook, trades, signals, liquidations, briefs, and sentiment. Sub-second latency for bots and trading dashboards.

  1. Connect to wss://ws.spectreai.io. Open a WebSocket connection to wss://ws.spectreai.io with your API key in the Authorization header.
  2. Subscribe to a channel. Send a JSON message: {"action":"subscribe","channel":"prices","symbols":["BTC","ETH","SOL"]}.
  3. Handle incoming messages. Messages stream in real time. Each includes the channel, symbol, timestamp, and payload.
  4. Heartbeat and reconnect. Send a ping every 30 seconds. On disconnect, reconnect with exponential backoff (1s, 2s, 4s, 8s, max 60s).
  5. Unsubscribe and close. Send {"action":"unsubscribe","channel":"prices"} to stop receiving messages, then close the connection.

End user

Spectre Chrome Extension

Inject Spectre AI intelligence directly into X/Twitter and DexScreener. See Fear and Greed, whale activity, and sentiment overlays without leaving the page.

  1. Install from Chrome Web Store. Search for "Spectre AI" in the Chrome Web Store and install the extension. Available for Chrome, Brave, and Edge.
  2. Log in. Click the extension icon in your browser toolbar and log in with your Spectre account or hold $SPECTRE tokens for token-gated access.
  3. Visit X/Twitter. Open x.com. Token mentions in tweets will now show an inline Spectre overlay with price, sentiment, and liquidation context.
  4. Visit DexScreener. Open dexscreener.com. Each token pair page will include Spectre AI analysis sidebar with on-chain whale data and AI synthesis.
  5. Configure overlays. Right-click the extension icon, choose Options, and toggle which overlays you want (sentiment, liquidations, whale alerts, Fear and Greed).

No-code

Zapier

Use Spectre AI triggers (new signal, liquidation event, sentiment shift) to automate workflows in Gmail, Slack, Discord, Notion, Google Sheets, and 5,000+ Zapier apps.

  1. Visit zapier.com/apps/spectre-ai. Open the Spectre AI app listing on Zapier (coming soon in Q3 2026).
  2. Connect your Spectre account. Click Connect and authorise Zapier to read your Spectre data using OAuth.
  3. Pick a trigger. Choose a trigger: new Daily Brief published, Fear and Greed crosses threshold, liquidation cascade detected, whale alert fires, KOL accuracy score shifts.
  4. Pick an action. Choose an action in any of 5,000+ Zapier apps. Example: post Daily Brief to Slack channel, append liquidation event to Google Sheet, email whale alert summary.
  5. Test and turn on. Click Test Zap, verify the sample output, then turn the Zap on. It runs continuously.

No-code

N8N (self-hosted)

Self-host your Spectre AI automation workflows with N8N. Ideal for teams running their own infrastructure or handling sensitive data.

  1. Install N8N. Run docker run -it --rm -p 5678:5678 n8nio/n8n or deploy via n8n.cloud.
  2. Install the Spectre AI community node. In N8N, go to Settings > Community nodes, install @spectreai/n8n-nodes-spectre (coming soon in Q3 2026).
  3. Create credentials. Add your Spectre API key or x402-enabled wallet under Credentials.
  4. Build a workflow. Drag a Spectre Trigger node (example: Liquidation Event) to the canvas, then chain any N8N action (Slack, Telegram, Discord, custom webhook, database write).
  5. Activate. Toggle the workflow to Active. N8N will run it continuously on your schedule or on live triggers.

Developer

Custom webhooks

POST Spectre events to any URL in real time. Use webhooks to fire into your own backend, data warehouse, alert system, or Slack/Discord/Telegram bot.

  1. Open webhook settings. In your Spectre AI developer dashboard, go to Webhooks.
  2. Add a webhook endpoint. Enter your HTTPS URL, choose the events you want (liquidation, whale, signal, brief, sentiment_shift), and set a signing secret.
  3. Verify signatures on your server. Every webhook POST includes an X-Spectre-Signature header. Compute HMAC-SHA256 of the body with your secret and compare - reject any mismatch.
  4. Handle retries. Spectre retries failed webhooks up to 5 times with exponential backoff. Return 2xx quickly and process asynchronously if possible.
  5. Monitor deliverability. The dashboard shows delivery success rate per endpoint. If drop rate exceeds 5%, Spectre will email you.
