## Components
### Resources
The server implements a few of the [Coinmarket API](https://coinmarketcap.com/api/documentation/v1/#section/Introduction) endpoints
- Custom coinmarket:// URI scheme for accessing individual notes
- Each note resource has a name, description and text/plain mimetype
### Tools
The server implements two tools:
- `get-currency-listings`: Get the latest currency listings
- `get-quotes`: Get quotes for tokens
- Takes "slug" (example: bitcoin) or "symbol" (example: BTC) as optional string argument
## Configuration
Requires coinmarket API key.
## Quickstart
### Prerequisites
- Python 3.12 or higher
- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) package manager
### Install
Install uv if you haven't already:
```bash
# macOS and Linux
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
# Windows
powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
```

"mcpServers": {
"coinmarket_service": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"/path/to/coinmarket_service",
"run",
"coinmarket_service"
],
"env": {
"COINMARKET_API_KEY": "<insert api key>"
}
}
}
```
</details>
#### Docker
You can also run the server using Docker:
```bash
# Build the image
docker build -t coinmarket-service .
# Run the container
docker run -e COINMARKET_API_KEY=your_api_key_here coinmarket-service
```
For Claude Desktop configuration with Docker:
```json
"mcpServers": {
"coinmarket_service": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"--rm",
"-e",
"COINMARKET_API_KEY=<insert api key>",
"coinmarket-service"
]
}
}
```
## Troubleshooting
### "spawn uv ENOENT" Error
If you see this error, it means `uv` is not installed or not in your PATH:
1. **Install uv** following the instructions above
2. **Restart your terminal/Claude Desktop** after installation
3. **Verify installation**: Run `uv --version` in terminal
4. **Update PATH**: Make sure uv is in your system PATH
### Configuration Issues
- Replace `/path/to/coinmarket_service` with the actual path to your cloned repository
- Ensure your `COINMARKET_API_KEY` is valid
- The path should point to the root directory containing `pyproject.toml`
TDQS
Scored across 2 tools
The two tools both retrieve cryptocurrency market data, and the vague descriptions make it unclear whether get_quotes is for individual coins or a different listing format. Agents may struggle to choose between them for a given request.
Both tools follow a consistent get_<object> pattern with clear verb-noun structure. The naming is predictable and easy to understand.
With only 2 tools, the server feels minimal but not entirely insufficient for basic market data retrieval. The scope is limited, but the count is borderline, not extreme.
The server lacks obvious capabilities such as historical data, currency conversion, or detailed metadata lookups, making it incomplete for a comprehensive cryptocurrency market server. Only the most basic listing and quote operations are covered.
