Crypto

You can run Crypto MCP as an MCP server to query and retrieve cryptocurrency prices, market data, and K-line information through a client. It supports multiple installation methods and can be configured to run locally or via a containerized/managed runtime for seamless integration with your MCP client workflows.

How to use

Configure your MCP client to connect to Crypto MCP using one of the available runtime options. You can run Crypto MCP locally and expose its functionality to your client via a standard MCP server interface. Once configured, you can query current prices, get trending coins, fetch detailed coin information, retrieve global market data, search for coins, obtain common coin prices, and pull K-line data.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installation: Python and pip for the Python-based server, and Node.js with npx or a compatible runner if you opt for Smithery-related setup. Ensure you have network access to install dependencies from package indexes.

pip install crypto_mcp

Smithery installation is recommended for Claude Desktop integration. Run the following command to install Crypto MCP through Smithery using a client named claude.

npx -y @smithery/cli install @telegramtool/crypto_mcp --client claude

Manual installation steps: clone the repository and install dependencies, then prepare the environment to run Crypto MCP server locally.

git clone https://github.com/telegramtool/crypto_mcp.git
cd crypto_mcp
pip install -r requirements.txt

Additional setup for MCP clients and configuration

You can configure the MCP server in your client’s MCP configuration. The following examples show how to register Crypto MCP under the name crypto_mcp using the Cursor runtime. You can choose the runtime that matches your installation path.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "crypto_mcp": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-m",
        "crypto_mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Smithery-based runtime configuration

If you installed Crypto MCP via Smithery, configure the client with the following runtime description to run Crypto MCP through Smithery.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "crypto_mcp": {
      "command": "cmd",
      "args": [
        "/c",
        "npx",
        "-y",
        "@smithery/cli@latest",
        "run",
        "@telegramtool/crypto_mcp",
        "--config",
        "{}"
      ]
    }
  }
