This server empowers Claude AI with the ability to fetch current Bitcoin prices and related market information, enhancing decision-making and strategic planning.

Key Features

2. Comprehensive Market Insights: Returns not only the price in USD but also the 24-hour change percentage and market capitalization, offering a holistic view of the market.

3. Robust API Integration: Handles API calls to leading cryptocurrency data providers, automatically switching between CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko to ensure uninterrupted data flow.

Installation and Configuration

To get started with the MCP server, ensure you have Node.js and npm installed. Clone the repository, install dependencies, and build the TypeScript code. Configure your CoinMarketCap API key in the .env file to enable data fetching. For those without a CoinMarketCap API key, the server will default to using the CoinGecko API.

Modify the configuration file to include the server’s command and arguments, ensuring that your AI can access Bitcoin data seamlessly. Once configured, Claude can answer queries such as “What’s the current price of Bitcoin?” or “How much has Bitcoin changed in the last 24 hours?”

Development and Customization

The MCP server is designed to be flexible and extensible. Developers can modify existing tools or add new cryptocurrency endpoints by editing the src/index.ts file. This adaptability makes it a valuable asset for businesses seeking to tailor their AI’s capabilities to specific needs.
