remote-capable server

The server can be hosted and run remotely because it primarily relies on remote services or has no dependency on the local environment.

Integrations

  • Provides real-time price data, 24-hour stats, market analysis, and historical price trends for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies through the CoinCap API.

  • Allows installation and execution of the MCP server using npm packages, with download statistics tracked through NPM.

  • Displays badge information about npm downloads using the Shields.io service.

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.
