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

Launch Claude Desktop to start using the crypto analysis tools.
