# Getting Started

#### What it is

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that connects AI assistants to external tools and data sources. TrueNorth MCP uses this to give Claude or ChatGPT live access to crypto markets.

* Real-time data — sub-second price feeds, on-chain metrics, derivatives data across 50+ sources
* Crypto-native reasoning — structured outputs tuned for trading decisions, not generic AI answers
* Works inside your existing AI — no new app, no new interface. Claude and ChatGPT become your crypto trading co-pilot
