# Crypto Research Skill

Perform comprehensive due diligence on any cryptocurrency by systematically gathering and analyzing data from multiple CMC MCP tools.

## Prerequisites

Before starting research, verify the CMC MCP tools are available. If tools fail or return connection errors, ask the user to set up the MCP connection:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cmc-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.coinmarketcap.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-CMC-MCP-API-KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Get your API key from https://pro.coinmarketcap.com/login
