This server allows Claude to fetch the current price of Bitcoin and related market information. ## Features - Provides Claude with real-time Bitcoin price information - Returns price in USD, 24-hour change percentage, and market cap - Handles API calls to cryptocurrency data providers - Automatic fallback between CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko APIs ## Prerequisites - Node.js and npm installed - A CoinMarketCap API key (get one at [pro.coinmarketcap.com](https://pro.coinmarketcap.com)) - Note: If you don't have a CoinMarketCap API key, the tool will automatically use CoinGecko API instead ## Installation ```bash # Clone this repository git clone [your-repository-url] cd btc-price-mcp # Install dependencies npm install # Build the TypeScript code npm run build ``` ## Configuration 1. Copy the `.env.example` file to `.env`: ```bash cp .env.example .env ``` 2. Edit the `.env` file and add your CoinMarketCap API key: ``` COINMARKETCAP_API_KEY=your_api_key_here ``` ## Using as CLI Tool You can use this as a command-line tool to check Bitcoin prices: ```bash # Using npm npm start # Or directly with node node dist/index.js ``` You can also use the included batch files: - `bt-price.bat` or `btc-price.bat` ## Integration with Claude Desktop To integrate this MCP server with Claude Desktop: 1. Locate the Claude Desktop configuration file: - On Windows: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` - On macOS: `~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` - On Linux: `~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` 2. Add the following configuration to the file: ```json { "mcpServers": { "btc": { "command": "node", "args": ["<FULL_PATH_TO_YOUR_PROJECT>/dist/index.js"], "env": { "COINMARKETCAP_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here" } } } } ``` Replace `<FULL_PATH_TO_YOUR_PROJECT>` with the absolute path to your project directory. For example on Windows: `C:/Users/RITESH YADAV/Desktop/Lab/dist/index.js` ## Usage in Claude Once configured, you can ask Claude about Bitcoin prices: - "What's the current price of Bitcoin?" - "How much has Bitcoin changed in the last 24 hours?" - "What's the market cap of Bitcoin right now?" ## Development This project is designed to work with the Model Context Protocol specification. You can modify the available tools or add new cryptocurrency endpoints by editing the `src/index.ts` file and rebuilding the project. ## License MIT
