Overview

CoinGecko Server is an Anthropic Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides an interface for interacting with the CoinGecko Pro API, allowing users to access cryptocurrency data seamlessly.

To use CoinGecko Server, install it via npm, set up your environment with the required API key, and configure it with Claude Desktop or OpenAI Function Calling for data retrieval.

  • Paginated list of supported cryptocurrencies - Coin ID lookup by name or symbol - Historical price, market cap, and volume data - OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) candlestick data - Local coin cache with refresh capability
  1. Retrieving real-time cryptocurrency prices and market data.
  2. Analyzing historical price trends for investment decisions.
  3. Integrating cryptocurrency data into applications using OpenAI.

Use these steps to connect CoinGecko Server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-coingecko-server-crazyrabbitltc": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-coingecko-server-crazyrabbitltc"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-coingecko-server-crazyrabbitltc": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-coingecko-server-crazyrabbitltc"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-coingecko-server-crazyrabbitltc": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-coingecko-server-crazyrabbitltc"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "mcp-coingecko-server-crazyrabbitltc": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-coingecko-server-crazyrabbitltc"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-coingecko-server-crazyrabbitltc": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-coingecko-server-crazyrabbitltc"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-coingecko-server-crazyrabbitltc": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-coingecko-server-crazyrabbitltc"
