How to Set Up and Use Crypto Market Analysis
Crypto Price & Market Analysis MCP Server connects AI assistants to the CoinCap v3 API, delivering real-time cryptocurrency prices, market analysis, historical trend data, exchange rankings, technical indicators, and fiat conversion rates through a clean MCP tool interface. It exposes seven tools covering everything from spot prices and 24-hour stats to SMA, EMA, RSI, and MACD calculations, supporting both STDIO and Streamable HTTP transports. Traders, analysts, and developers use it to ask Claude natural-language questions about crypto markets and get data-backed answers without switching to a dedicated platform.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 22.14 or higher
- A CoinCap API key — free tier available at pro.coincap.io/dashboard
- An MCP-compatible client: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or another MCP host
- npx available on your PATH
Obtain a CoinCap API key
Sign up at pro.coincap.io/dashboard and create a free API key. The server uses the CoinCap v3 API exclusively, which requires this key — without it all tool calls will return an error.
Configure Claude Desktop
Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows). Add the server entry with your API key as an environment variable.
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-crypto-price": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-crypto-price"],
"env": {
"COINCAP_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
}
}
}
}Windows configuration with cmd wrapper
On Windows, if your MCP client requires launching via cmd.exe, use this variant of the configuration.
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-crypto-price": {
"command": "cmd",
"args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "mcp-crypto-price"],
"env": {
"COINCAP_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
}
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop
Quit and reopen Claude Desktop. The crypto analysis tools will be available immediately on the next conversation.
Verify the connection
Ask Claude for the current price of Bitcoin to confirm the server is running and the CoinCap API key is valid.
Crypto Market Analysis Examples
Client configuration (Claude Desktop)
Standard Claude Desktop configuration with the required COINCAP_API_KEY environment variable.
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-crypto-price": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-crypto-price"],
"env": {
"COINCAP_API_KEY": "YOUR_COINCAP_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}Prompts to try
Use these prompts to explore cryptocurrency data through Claude's natural language interface.
- "What's the current price of Bitcoin and how has it changed in the last 24 hours?"
- "Show me market analysis for ETH including top exchanges and price variation."
- "Give me the 7-day price history for DOGE with daily intervals."
- "What are the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap right now?"
- "Show me the technical indicators for SOL — SMA, RSI, and MACD."
- "What is the current EUR to USD conversion rate?"
- "Which exchanges have the highest 24-hour trading volume for BTC?"Troubleshooting Crypto Market Analysis
All tool calls return an error about a missing or invalid API key
Ensure COINCAP_API_KEY is set correctly in the env block of your MCP config. The server uses the CoinCap v3 API exclusively — v2 keys are no longer valid. Get a new key at pro.coincap.io/dashboard (free tier available) and restart Claude Desktop after updating the config.
get-historical-analysis returns no data or a limited date range
The tool supports up to 30 days of historical data with intervals from 5 minutes to 1 day. Requesting a date range beyond 30 days or using an unsupported interval string will result in empty results. Check the supported interval values in the tool description.
The server starts but Claude shows it as disconnected
Verify Node.js is version 22.14 or higher — the server requires this minimum version. Run 'node --version' to check. If needed, update Node.js via nvm, fnm, or the official installer at nodejs.org.
