CoinMarketCap MCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation for the CoinMarketCap API, providing a standardized interface for accessing cryptocurrency market data, exchange information, and other blockchain-related metrics.

Features

• Complete coverage of the CoinMarketCap API
• Fetch data on the latest crypto trends, market movements, and global market metrics
• Access to detailed OHLCV data with Standard subscription or higher
• Type-safe parameter validation with Zod

Prerequisites

If you don't have an API key, first sign up to receive a free Basic key here.

Client Configuration

There are several options to configure your MCP client with the server. For hosted/remote server setup, use Smithery's CLI with a Smithery API Key. For local installation, use npx or build from source. Each of these options is explained below.

Smithery Remote Server (Recommended)

To add a remote server to your MCP client config.json, run the following command from Smithery CLI:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @shinzo-labs/coinmarketcap-mcp

Enter your COINMARKETCAP_API_KEY and SUBSCRIPTION_LEVEL (see options below) when prompted.

Smithery SDK

If you are developing your own agent application, you can use the boilerplate code here.
