Crypto Data

CI PyPI License: MIT

Real-time cryptocurrency data for AI coding tools. An MCP server that gives Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible tools access to live prices, market data, token info, and historical charts -- powered by CoinGecko.

Built by Whoff Agents.

Installation

Fastest: one-liner with uvx (no install needed)

uvx crypto-data-mcp

Install from PyPI

pip install crypto-data-mcp
# or
uv add crypto-data-mcp

From source

git clone https://github.com/Wh0FF24/crypto-data-mcp.git
cd crypto-data-mcp
uv sync

Usage with Claude Code

Add to your Claude Code MCP config at ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "crypto-data": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["crypto-data-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Or if installed via pip/uv:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "crypto-data": {
      "command": "crypto-data-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Then in Claude Code, you can ask things like:

• "What's the current price of Bitcoin?"
• "Compare ETH, SOL, and AVAX prices"
• "Show me the crypto market overview"
• "Get me 30 days of BTC price history"
• "What's Ethereum's all-time high?"

  ]
}

Supported Tokens

The server includes a built-in mapping for 70+ popular tokens (BTC, ETH, SOL, USDT, USDC, BNB, XRP, ADA, DOGE, AVAX, and many more). For tokens not in the built-in map, it automatically searches CoinGecko to resolve the symbol.

Data Source

All data comes from the CoinGecko API (free tier). The server includes:

• 60-second caching to reduce API calls
• Automatic retry with backoff on rate limits
• Graceful error handling for network issues and invalid inputs

The free CoinGecko tier allows approximately 10-30 requests per minute.

Development

# Install dependencies
uv sync

# Run tests (uses live CoinGecko API -- may hit rate limits)
uv run pytest tests/ -v

# Run the server directly
uv run crypto-data-mcp

Pricing
