About Crypto Price & Market Analysis MCP Server

What is Crypto Price & Market Analysis MCP Server: Real-Time Data & Trends?

Imagine a digital sidekick that’s as obsessed with crypto prices as you are, but way less likely to panic-sell during a crash. The Crypto Price & Market Analysis MCP Server acts as your 24/7 crypto analyst in a server suit. It slurps real-time data from CoinCap’s API, digests it with the precision of a mathlete, and spits out insights faster than a whale dumping ETH. Think of it as your crypto crystal ball with a Wi-Fi connection.

How to Use Crypto Price & Market Analysis MCP Server: Real-Time Data & Trends?

Ready to turn your Claude Desktop into a crypto dashboard? Let’s get this show rolling:

  1. MacOS warriors: Tweak your config file at `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
  2. Windows ninjas: Dive into `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
  3. Paste this JSON like it’s the secret sauce to crypto enlightenment:
{
    "mcpServers": {
      "mcp-crypto-price": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "mcp-crypto-price"],
        "env": {
          "COINCAP_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE (optional but recommended)"
        }
      }
    }
  }

Boom. You’re now one API key away from crypto enlightenment.

Crypto Price & Market Analysis MCP Server Features

Key Features of Crypto Price & Market Analysis MCP Server: Real-Time Data & Trends

  • Real-Time Data Snacking: Serves up price ticks, volume spikes, and market cap shuffles faster than a DeFi yield farmer.
  • API Migration Resilience: Auto-adjusts between CoinCap’s v1 and v2 APIs like a true crypto diplomat.
  • Feature Flexibility: Toggle between “give me just the number” simplicity or “dump all the metrics” mode. Your call.
  • Error Forgiveness: Handles 404s and API hiccups with the grace of a crypto veteran who’s seen worse.

Use Cases: When to Summon Your Crypto Server Sidekick

Here’s where it shines:

  • Spot-checking BTC/USD like you’re Elon Musk’s ghostwriter.

  • Checking if your grandma’s “stablecoin” is actually a crypto rollercoaster.

Crypto Price & Market Analysis MCP Server FAQ

FAQ: Answers for the Crypto Curious

  • Why bother with CoinCap’s v2 API? Because v1’s retirement party is happening faster than a rug pull.
  • Do I need an API key? No, but without one you’ll hit rate limits faster than a pump-and-dump scheme.
  • Will this work on Mars? The server doesn’t care about your location—just bring your own internet.
  • What about taxes? This bot doesn’t file forms. Hire an accountant or face an IRS audit from the future.

Still confused? Google it. Seriously. We can’t handle your existential crypto crises.

Crypto Price & Market Analysis MCP Server

smithery badge NPM Downloads

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
