MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes selected CoinMarketCap API endpoints as MCP resources and tools.
https://github.com/anjor/coinmarket-mcp-serverStop manually copying crypto prices into your AI conversations. This MCP server connects CoinMarketCap's comprehensive market data directly to your AI models, giving them instant access to current cryptocurrency prices, market listings, and token information.
You're building an AI application that needs crypto market data. The typical approach means writing API wrappers, handling rate limits, managing authentication, and constantly switching between your AI interface and market data sources. This MCP server eliminates that friction entirely.
Instead of juggling multiple tools and APIs, your AI models can directly query cryptocurrency data using natural language. Ask Claude about Bitcoin's current price, compare altcoin performance, or analyze market trends - all without leaving your conversation.
get-quotes: Pull current prices and market data for any cryptocurrency by symbol (BTC) or slug (bitcoin). Your AI gets real-time data without you needing to remember API endpoints or parameter formats.
get-currency-listings: Access comprehensive market listings with rankings, market caps, and percentage changes. Perfect for market overviews and comparative analysis.
Both tools integrate seamlessly with your existing AI workflow - no custom prompting or complex instructions required.
Trading Strategy Development: Connect your AI to live market data for backtesting ideas, analyzing price patterns, or getting quick market snapshots during strategy discussions.
Portfolio Analysis: Ask your AI to analyze your holdings against current market conditions, calculate portfolio values, or identify rebalancing opportunities using real-time data.
Market Research: Get instant comparative analysis between cryptocurrencies, identify trending tokens, or research new projects without switching between multiple browser tabs.
DeFi Protocol Analysis: Access current token prices for yield calculations, liquidity analysis, or smart contract value assessments directly within your AI conversations.
The server uses uv for dependency management, which means fast, reliable builds without the usual Python packaging headaches. Docker support is included for containerized deployments.
# Clone and run with uv
git clone https://github.com/anjor/coinmarket-mcp-server.git
cd coinmarket-mcp-server
uv run coinmarket_service
Add your CoinMarketCap API key to the environment, configure Claude Desktop with the server path, and you're connected. The setup documentation includes specific configuration examples for both development and production environments.
Instead of interrupting your AI workflow to check prices on CoinMarketCap, your models access the same data automatically. No more context switching, no more stale screenshots of price charts, no more "let me quickly check the current price" interruptions that break your analytical flow.
The server handles all the API complexity - authentication, rate limiting, error handling, and data formatting - so your AI interactions stay focused on analysis rather than data retrieval mechanics.
Your CoinMarketCap API key gives you access to professional-grade market data through a simple, conversational interface that integrates with your existing AI tools.
