Installation

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10+

  • Node.js (for Playwright browser dependencies)

  • Claude Desktop (optional, for testing with MCP client)

Steps

  1. Clone the Repository:

    git clone https://github.com/kukapay/crypto-trending-mcp.git
    cd crypto-trending-mcp
  2. Install Dependencies with uv:

    uv sync
    playwright install

Usage

Integrating with Claude Desktop

  1. Configure Claude Desktop:

    • Edit the configuration file:

      • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

      • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

    • Add the server configuration:

      {
        "mcpServers": {
          "crypto-trending": {
            "command": "uv",
            "args": [
              "--directory",
              "/absolute/path/to/crypto-trending-mcp",
              "run",
              "main.py"
            ]
          }
        }
      }

      Replace /absolute/path/to/crypto-trending-mcp with the absolute path to your main.py.

  2. Restart Claude Desktop:

    • Close and reopen Claude Desktop.

    • Look for the hammer icon (🔨) in the input box, indicating MCP tools are available.

  3. Interact with the Server:

    • Ask natural language questions like:

      • "What are the trending cryptocurrencies with positive 24h price changes?"

      • "Show the top 3 trending coins by market cap."

    • Claude will use the get_trending_md_doc tool and parse_trending_md_doc prompt to fetch and analyze the data.

Example Output

The get_trending_md_doc tool returns a Markdown document like:

# Trending Crypto

*Data from CoinGecko*

The parse_trending_md_doc prompt guides the LLM to extract the table and produce structured output, such as:

[
  {
    "rank": 1,
    "name": "Bitcoin",
    "symbol": "BTC",
    "price": "$67,890.12",
    "change_1h": "+0.45%",
    "change_24h": "+2.34%",
    "change_7d": "+10.12%",
    "volume_24h": "$45,123,456,789",
    "market_cap": "$1,345,678,901,234"
  },
  ...

Disambiguation5/5

With only one tool, there is no possibility of confusion or overlap between tools. The tool's purpose is clearly defined and distinct by default.

Naming Consistency5/5

A single tool inherently has consistent naming, as there are no other tools to compare against. The name 'get_trending_md_doc' follows a clear verb_noun pattern.

Tool Count2/5

One tool is too few for a server named 'crypto-trending-mcp', which suggests a broader scope for cryptocurrency trending data. A single tool limits functionality and makes the server feel incomplete or trivial for its apparent purpose.

Completeness2/5

The server is severely incomplete for a cryptocurrency trending domain. It only retrieves a Markdown document from CoinGecko, lacking tools for filtering, sorting, analyzing trends, or accessing other trending sources, which are essential for comprehensive coverage.
