Bitcoin

You deploy this MCP Server to monitor Bitcoin prices through CoinGecko APIs using a Spring Boot backend. You can run it locally and connect an MCP client to fetch live price data, enabling simple price tracking workflows and integrations for dashboards or alerts.

How to use

Start the MCP Server locally and connect your MCP client to fetch real-time Bitcoin price data from CoinGecko. You can initiate price queries, use the data in dashboards, or trigger simple automation that responds to price changes. The server is designed to be run as a standalone process and communicates via standard MCP patterns supported by your client.

Once the server is running, your MCP client will access the Bitcoin price data through the configured MCP endpoint. You can schedule periodic queries, pull current prices on demand, and combine this data with other sources in your MCP workflows.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installation: Java 17 or later and a build tool compatible with the project (Gradle is used in this setup). Ensure Java is available on your system path by running the following to verify the version.

java -version

Build the MCP Server from source.

./gradlew clean build -x test

Run the built MCP Server jar locally. The built artifact is typically located in the build/libs directory after a successful build.

java -jar build/libs/bitcoin-mcp-server-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

If you want to integrate with Claude Desktop, provide the following configuration in Claude Desktop settings. This lets Claude Desktop launch the MCP Server as a local process.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bitcoin-mcp-server": {
      "command": "java",
      "args": [
        "-jar",
        "/absolute/path/to/bitcoin-mcp-server-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Notes about building and running your MCP Server are provided to help you get started quickly. If you customize the path to the jar or adjust the build steps, ensure the final runtime command points to the built jar file.
