What is MCP and why does LunarCrush use it?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard from Anthropic that lets AI models like Claude pull live external data during a conversation — no custom code required. LunarCrush uses MCP so you can ask any MCP-compatible AI 'What’s the social sentiment on Bitcoin right now?' and get a live answer. The MCP endpoint is https://lunarcrush.ai/mcp.
