Full Draft
Copy, paste, and start researching. These 10 prompts show you exactly how to use LunarCrush + Claude for everything from quick sentiment checks to deep competitive analysis.
The LunarCrush Connector for Claude gives you access to real-time social intelligence data inside an AI that can reason about it. But getting the most out of it depends on knowing what to ask.
We've put together 10 prompts that cover the most valuable research workflows, from crypto investors to stock analysts to brand strategists. Each prompt is designed to be pasted directly into Claude. Each one returns structured, sourced analysis built on live LunarCrush data.
To use these, open claude.ai, make sure the LunarCrush Connector is enabled, and paste any prompt below.
Prompt 1: The Daily Market Pulse
What are the top 10 cryptocurrencies by AltRank right now? For each one, show me its AltRank, Galaxy Score, 24-hour price change, sentiment score, and the primary social narrative driving it. Use the LunarCrush MCP Connector.
What it does: Gives you a complete morning briefing on which coins have the strongest combined social and market momentum. AltRank combines social activity with price performance, so the top 10 represents the assets that are winning on both dimensions simultaneously.
Who it's for: Crypto investors, traders, portfolio managers.
Why it works: Most people check price leaderboards in the morning. This prompt replaces that habit with a leaderboard that factors in what the crowd is actually saying and doing. Right now, for example, the AltRank leaderboard shows Ethereum at #1 and Bitcoin at #2, with GORK, Polkadot, and Litecoin rounding out the top 5. That ranking reflects both price action and social momentum, a richer signal than price alone.
Prompt 2: Social-Price Divergence Scanner
Are there any major cryptocurrencies right now where social engagement is hitting new highs but price is declining, or where price is rising but social engagement is falling? Identify any social-price divergences in the top 50 coins by market cap. Use the LunarCrush MCP Connector.
What it does: Finds mismatches between what the crowd is doing and what the price is doing. These divergences are among the most actionable signals in social intelligence.
Who it's for: Swing traders, researchers, anyone looking for asymmetric opportunities.
Why it works: Bitcoin itself is a current example. Engagements recently hit an all-time record of over 975 million while the price sat near its 1-year low. That kind of divergence, maximum attention at a price bottom, has historically preceded significant moves. This prompt automates the hunt for similar setups across the top 50.
Prompt 3: Sector Deep Dive
Show me the top 5 DePIN tokens by Galaxy Score. For each one, give me the Galaxy Score, sentiment, 7-day engagement trend, and what social narratives are driving discussion. Which DePIN project has the most organic social momentum right now? Use the LunarCrush MCP Connector.
What it does: Gives you a complete view of a specific crypto sector's social landscape.
Who it's for: Sector-focused investors, developers building in a specific niche, fund managers with thematic mandates.
Why it works: You can swap "DePIN" for any sector LunarCrush tracks: memecoins, AI tokens, Layer 1, gaming, and many more. Every sector has its own leaderboard and narrative dynamics. The AI-sector prompt, for instance, would surface which tokens are capturing the most social attention in the rapidly evolving AI agent narrative. That's the kind of specific, current intel this prompt surfaces.
Prompt 4: Head-to-Head Competitive Analysis
Compare Solana ($SOL) and Avalanche ($AVAX) across every social metric available: mentions, engagements, creators, sentiment, Galaxy Score, and AltRank. Show me the data for the last 7 days and 30 days. Which Layer 1 has stronger social momentum right now, and what narratives are driving each? Use the LunarCrush MCP Connector.
What it does: Runs a full competitive analysis between any two assets, brands, or topics.
Who it's for: Crypto investors, equity researchers, brand managers, anyone evaluating competitors.
Why it works: The comparison format forces Claude to not just report numbers but analyze relative performance. You can use this for crypto pairs ($BTC vs $ETH), stock competitors ($NVDA vs $AMD), or cross-asset comparisons ($COIN vs $HOOD). LunarCrush also provides visual comparison pages for these matchups.
Prompt 5: Creator Influence Map
Who are the 10 most influential creators talking about Bitcoin in the last 24 hours? Rank them by total engagements. For each creator, show me their platform, follower count, number of posts, and total engagements. What are the top creators actually saying? Use the LunarCrush MCP Connector.
What it does: Identifies who is actually moving the conversation for any given topic and what they're posting about.
Who it's for: Brand teams looking for influencer partnerships, PR teams monitoring coverage, researchers tracking information flow.
Why it works: LunarCrush's CreatorRank system tracks actual engagement, not just follower counts. A creator with 50,000 followers generating 10,000 engagements per post is more influential than one with 500,000 followers generating 200 engagements. This prompt surfaces the people who are genuinely shaping the conversation right now. You can explore creator rankings further at lunarcrush.com/creators.
Prompt 6: Earnings Prep for Any Stock
NVIDIA earnings are approaching. Show me NVDA's social metrics over the last 30 days: engagement trend, mention volume, sentiment, Galaxy Score, and the dominant narratives in social discussion. How does the current level of social attention compare to its daily average? What are the bull and bear cases being made on social media? Use the LunarCrush MCP Connector.
What it does: Gives you a social data-powered pre-earnings research brief.
Who it's for: Equity investors, options traders, financial analysts.
Why it works: Earnings outcomes are partly about the numbers and partly about expectations. Social data measures expectations in real time. Right now, NVIDIA's engagements are at 175 million (221% above daily average) and mentions are up 25% month-over-month. That level of attention creates high expectations, which means the stock needs to exceed consensus to avoid a "sell the news" reaction. This prompt quantifies that dynamic.

Prompt 7: Narrative Tracker
What are the dominant social narratives across the cryptocurrency market right now? Break them down into supportive narratives (bullish themes) and critical narratives (bearish concerns), with an approximate percentage of social discussion each one captures. Which narratives have grown the most over the last week? Use the LunarCrush MCP Connector.
What it does: Maps the thematic landscape of market-wide social discussion.
Who it's for: Macro investors, content creators, media and research teams.
Why it works: Markets are driven by narratives. This prompt quantifies which narratives are actually capturing attention and how the mix is shifting. Right now, Bitcoin ETF inflows and institutional adoption dominate the bullish side, while price volatility and security concerns lead the bearish side. Tracking how these proportions shift week-over-week is a leading indicator of market direction.
Prompt 8: Portfolio Social Health Check
I hold BTC, ETH, SOL, LINK, and AVAX. For each one, show me the current Galaxy Score, AltRank, sentiment, and 7-day engagement trend. Flag any assets where social metrics are deteriorating significantly. Are there any social-price divergences I should be aware of? Use the LunarCrush MCP Connector.
What it does: Runs a social health diagnostic on your entire portfolio in one query.
Who it's for: Any crypto investor with a portfolio of more than a couple assets.
Why it works: Most people check their portfolio by looking at P&L. This prompt adds a social layer to that check. A coin that's up 5% but whose Galaxy Score just dropped from 70 to 40 might be showing early signs of fading momentum. A coin that's flat but whose engagement just spiked 200% might be about to move. Replace the tickers with your own holdings.
Prompt 9: Stock Market Social Pulse
What are the top 10 stocks by Galaxy Score right now? For each one, show me the Galaxy Score, price change, and what's driving social attention. Are any of these names that aren't getting mainstream media coverage? Use the LunarCrush MCP Connector.
What it does: Finds stocks with the strongest social momentum that might not be on your radar.
Who it's for: Stock investors, analysts looking for under-covered names, trend followers.
Why it works: The stock Galaxy Score leaderboard often surfaces names that aren't in the financial media spotlight. Currently, the top stocks include Cohen & Steers (CNS), which just hit an all-time price high alongside a perfect Galaxy Score, and Evercore (EVR), seeing a 94% surge in trading volume. These aren't names CNBC is leading with, which makes the signal more valuable.
Prompt 10: Custom Topic Research
I'm tracking the narrative around "AI agents replacing traditional finance." What does LunarCrush social data show about this topic? Look at mentions of AI agents, stablecoins, and their intersection with traditional payment networks like Visa and Mastercard. What's the sentiment, who's talking about it, and how has the conversation grown over the last month? Use the LunarCrush MCP Connector.
What it does: Turns LunarCrush into a custom research engine for any thesis or topic you're investigating.
Who it's for: Thesis-driven investors, researchers, strategists.
Why it works: LunarCrush tracks thousands of topics beyond individual tickers. This prompt demonstrates how to use the Connector for open-ended research questions that don't map to a single asset. The AI agents vs. card networks narrative is a live example: LunarCrush recently showed both Mastercard and Visa experiencing negative social momentum driven by fears that AI agents will bypass card networks using stablecoins. This kind of cross-cutting analysis is where the combination of real-time data and AI reasoning really shines.

Making These Prompts Your Own
These 10 prompts are starting points. The LunarCrush Connector responds to any question involving social data, market metrics, sentiment, creators, or topics. A few tips for getting the best results:
Be specific about timeframes. "Over the last 7 days" gives you different insight than "over the last 30 days." Include the timeframe that matches your research question.
Ask for comparisons. Claude is especially good at pulling two datasets and analyzing relative performance. Any "compare X vs Y" query leverages this strength.
Request narrative context. Adding "and what narratives are driving it" to any query ensures you get the why behind the numbers, not just the numbers themselves.
Go deeper with follow-ups. After any initial query, ask follow-up questions. "Why did engagement spike on February 24?" or "Which of these coins has the most consistent sentiment?" The Connector maintains context across the conversation, so follow-ups are natural and efficient.
Combine with your own knowledge. Claude can reason about the data. Ask it "Given that BTC halving sentiment typically peaks 3 months before the event, what does the current social data suggest about timing?" The AI will combine LunarCrush data with its broader knowledge to give you a more nuanced answer.
