Mcp Crypto Price

Crypto Price & Market Analysis MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides comprehensive cryptocurrency analysis using the CoinCap API. This server offers real-time price data, market analysis, and historical trends through an easy-to-use interface.

Usage

Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config file:

MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-crypto-price": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-crypto-price"]
    }
  }
}

Optional: CoinCap API Key

For higher rate limits, add an API key to your configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-crypto-price": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-crypto-price"],
      "env": {
        "COINCAP_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Important Note: CoinCap is sunsetting their v2 API. This MCP supports both v2 and v3 APIs:

If you provide a COINCAP_API_KEY, it will attempt to use the v3 API first, falling back to v2 if necessary

Without an API key, it will use the v2 API (which will eventually be discontinued)

It’s recommended to obtain an API key from pro.coincap.io/dashboard as the v2 API will be completely deactivated in the future
