    Installation

    Installing via Smithery

    To install Cryptocurrency Data for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

    npx -y @smithery/cli install coin-api-mcp --client claude
    

    Build the Server

    Clone this repository and build and install the program with your default Python interpreter (recommended).

    git clone https://github.com/longmans/coin_api_mcp.git
    cd coin_api_mcp
    uv build
    uv pip install .
    

    After installation, you can run it as a script using:

    python -m coin_api_mcp
    

    Configuration

    API Key

    The server requires a CoinMarketCap API key to function. You can obtain one from CoinMarketCap's website. The API key can be provided in two ways:

    1. As an environment variable:
    export COINMARKETCAP_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
    
    1. As a command-line argument:
    python -m coin_api_mcp --api-key=your_api_key_here
    

    Configure for Claude.app

    Add to your Claude settings:

    "mcpServers": {
      "coin_api": {
        "command": "python",
        "args": ["-m", "coin_api_mcp"]
      },
      "env": {
            "COINMARKETCAP_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
    

    If you see any issue, you may want to use the full path for the Python interpreter you are using. You can do a which python to find out the exact path if needed.

    Remember to set the COINMARKETCAP_API_KEY environment variable or provide it via the --api-key argument.

    Debugging

    You can use the MCP inspector to debug the server
