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.
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"]
}
}
}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
