# Crypto MCP A [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction) (MCP) server that provides Claude AI with real-time access to cryptocurrency data from the CoinMarketCap API. ## Features This server provides the following tools to Claude: - **get-cryptocurrency-listings**: Get the latest cryptocurrency market data - **get-cryptocurrency-quotes**: Retrieve quotes for specific cryptocurrencies - **get-cryptocurrency-map**: Fetch the mapping of cryptocurrencies to CoinMarketCap IDs - **get-cryptocurrency-info**: Get detailed metadata for specific cryptocurrencies - **get-global-metrics**: Access global cryptocurrency market metrics - **get-exchange-listings**: Get information about cryptocurrency exchanges ## Prerequisites - A CoinMarketCap API key (get one at [pro.coinmarketcap.com](https://pro.coinmarketcap.com)) ## Integration with Claude Desktop To integrate this MCP server with Claude Desktop: 1. Locate the Claude Desktop configuration file: - On macOS: `~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` 2. Add the following configuration to the file: ```json { "mcpServers": { "cmc": { "command": "npx", "args": ["crypto-mcp"], "env": { "COINMARKET_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here" } } } } ``` ## Manual Installation 1. Clone this repository 2. Install dependencies: ```bash # Using npm npm install # Using bun bun install ``` 3. Build the TypeScript code: ```bash # Using npm npm run build # Using bun bun run build ``` ## Usage in Claude Once configured, you can ask Claude to perform various cryptocurrency-related tasks: - "Show me the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap" - "What's the current price of Bitcoin and Ethereum?" - "What are the global cryptocurrency market metrics today?" - "Tell me about the Binance exchange" ## Screenshots ### Top Cryptocurrencies  ### Cryptocurrency Metadata  ### Market Metrics  ## Development This project uses TypeScript and the Model Context Protocol SDK to build a server that communicates with Claude AI. To modify the available tools or add new endpoints, edit the `src/index.ts` file and rebuild the project.
