Coinmarket MCP Server is an MCP server designed to provide AI models with real-time cryptocurrency data from Coinmarket API. It offers two key tools: get-currency-listings for retrieving the latest cryptocurrency list and get-quotes for fetching token quotes using either "slug" or "symbol" as input. The server implements a custom coinmarket:// URI scheme for accessing individual note resources, each containing a name, description, and "text/plain" mimetype.

By integrating this server, AI models can access up-to-date cryptocurrency information, enabling applications like portfolio tracking, price prediction, and market analysis. Developers can easily configure the server with a Coinmarket API key and integrate it with their AI clients via standard MCP protocols. Built with Python, the Coinmarket MCP Server simplifies the process of incorporating cryptocurrency data into AI workflows, enhancing the functionality and relevance of AI-driven financial applications.

Real-time Cryptocurrency Listings

The get-currency-listings tool provides AI models with access to a live feed of cryptocurrency listings directly from the Coinmarket API. This functionality allows AI to stay updated on the ever-changing landscape of digital assets, including new coins, market capitalization, and trading volumes. By integrating this tool, AI models can perform tasks such as identifying trending cryptocurrencies, analyzing market dominance, or building investment strategies based on real-time data. For example, an AI-powered financial advisor could use this data to recommend diversifying a portfolio with emerging altcoins. The server requires a Coinmarket API key for authentication, ensuring secure and authorized access to the data. This tool eliminates the need for manual data collection and cleaning, providing a reliable and up-to-date source of information for AI applications.

Cryptocurrency Quote Retrieval

The get-quotes tool enables AI models to fetch real-time pricing and market data for specific cryptocurrencies. This tool accepts either the "slug" (e.g., "bitcoin") or the "symbol" (e.g., "BTC") as an optional string parameter, offering flexibility in how the AI identifies the desired cryptocurrency. This is crucial for AI applications that require precise and current market information, such as algorithmic trading bots, portfolio management tools, or risk assessment systems. For instance, an AI model could use this tool to monitor price fluctuations and execute trades based on predefined parameters. The ability to specify the cryptocurrency by either slug or symbol enhances the tool's usability and allows for seamless integration with various AI workflows. This feature empowers AI models to make informed decisions based on the most up-to-date market conditions.

Standardized Cryptocurrency Data Access

The coinmarket:// URI scheme provides a standardized way for AI models to access cryptocurrency-related information. This custom URI scheme allows developers to create consistent and predictable data access patterns, simplifying the integration of cryptocurrency data into AI applications. Each "note" resource accessible via this scheme contains a name, description, and text/plain mimetype, providing a structured format for the data. This standardization promotes interoperability and reduces the complexity of working with different cryptocurrency data sources. For example, an AI model could use this URI scheme to retrieve descriptions of various cryptocurrencies for educational purposes or to populate a knowledge base. The use of a custom URI scheme within the MCP ecosystem ensures that AI models can reliably access and process cryptocurrency data in a uniform manner.
