  2. Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:
    • On macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Usage with OpenAI Function Calling

import { CoinGeckoService } from 'coingecko-server'; import OpenAI from 'openai'; const openai = new OpenAI(); const coinGeckoService = new CoinGeckoService(process.env.COINGECKO_API_KEY); // Get function definitions const functions = CoinGeckoService.getOpenAIFunctionDefinitions(); // Example: Get historical data const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({ model: "gpt-4-turbo-preview", messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Get Bitcoin's price history for the last week" }], functions: [functions[2]], // get_historical_data function function_call: "auto", }); if (response.choices[0].message.function_call) { const args = JSON.parse(response.choices[0].message.function_call.arguments); const history = await coinGeckoService.getHistoricalData( args.id, args.vs_currency, args.from, args.to, args.interval ); }

Data Types
