# Your agent's bitcoin and macro desk.

Ask what the sharpest minds in bitcoin and macro are saying. Your agent reads Marty's takes in The Commoner and searches TFTC podcast interviews and their transcripts, with live ETF and Treasury data behind it. Every answer links to the source.

Documentation: https://www.tftc.io/ai

## Connect TFTC

Server URL: https://mcp.tftc.io/mcp
Transport: Streamable HTTP.
Authentication: none. No API key, custom headers or TFTC account required.
The service is free and read-only. It cannot place trades, send messages or change accounts.

## Tell your agent

```text
Add the TFTC MCP server at https://mcp.tftc.io/mcp. Every weekday at 8am, brief me: what's new from TFTC, yesterday's bitcoin ETF flows by fund, and any Treasury auction results, with links.
```

Your agent handles the schedule. TFTC supplies the content and data when the agent calls it. Ask Hermes, OpenClaw or another agent with scheduling support to run the prompt each morning.

## FAQ

### Is it free?

Yes. No TFTC account or API key is required. Your AI app may have its own plan requirements.

### What can it access?

Public TFTC content: The Commoner (Marty's takes), podcast interviews and their transcripts, articles and guides, plus bitcoin ETF flows, Treasury auction results and T-bill rates. It cannot access member content or private accounts.

### Why does my app ask for permission?

Your app asks before it uses an external tool. TFTC only reads public content. Choose Always allow if you want fewer prompts. Your organization's settings may apply.
