This server delivers live cryptocurrency prices, market caps, trending coins, DeFi protocol rankings, and yield farming data from CoinGecko and DeFiLlama. It works with AI apps like Claude Desktop and Cursor that support the MCP protocol. While it requires some developer setup, once running it lets your AI assistant access real-time crypto market data to help you track investments or research tokens easily.

Crypto Market Data

Live dashboard: https://nirholas.github.io/crypto-market-data/

Live cryptocurrency and DeFi market dashboard with data from CoinGecko and DeFiLlama.

Cryptocurrency prices and market data. That's it! With a basic UI. I originally built this within Lyra Web3 Playground and I thought it might be helpful for those looking for something very simple, a good learning experience to build + deploy, or maybe you're like me and just enjoy building and sharing simple yet useful creations. Live data, hooked up to CoinGecko and Defillama.

MCP Server

This repo also bundles a Model Context Protocol server in mcp-server/ that exposes the same CoinGecko and DeFiLlama data to AI assistants (Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP clients): live prices, OHLCV candles, trending coins, coin search, DeFi protocol/chain TVL, yields, and stablecoin supplies.

See mcp-server/README.md for the full tool list, build instructions, and client configuration.
