Configure in Claude Desktop by adding the server with npx -y mcp-crypto-price and a COINCAP_API_KEY environment variable. Supports both STDIO and Streamable HTTP transports. For HTTP, run the server on port 3000 (default) and pass the API key as a query parameter. Obtain a free API key at pro.coincap.io/dashboard.

<a href="https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/jpqoejojnc">
</a>
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. Supports both STDIO and Streamable HTTP transports.
Requirements
- Node.js 22.14+
- CoinCap API key via COINCAP_API_KEY
What's New
- BREAKING: CoinCap v2 API removed. Now uses v3 API exclusively. A COINCAP_API_KEY is required (free tier available at pro.coincap.io/dashboard)
- Streamable HTTP transport added (while keeping STDIO compatibility)
- Smithery CLI scripts to build and run the HTTP server
- 6 new tools: assets-search, market-global, assets-compare, analysis-candlestick, price-convert, assets-info
- Hierarchical tool naming: All tools organized into category-prefixed names (price-, market-, assets-, analysis-)
- Output schemas: All tools now declare outputSchema with structuredContent for type-safe responses
- MCP best practices: isError flag on validation errors, server description, and asset://{symbol} resource template
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": {

"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-crypto-price"],
"env": {
"COINCAP_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
}
}
}
}
If your MCP client requires launching via cmd.exe on Windows:

"mcpServers": {
"mcp-crypto-price": {
"command": "cmd",
"args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "mcp-crypto-price"],
"env": {

}
}
}
}
