bitcoin_price
Get realtime bitcoin price
LABSCO SUMMARY
A price check with nothing to provision.
There is no key to register for, so the distance between wanting a number and having one is a single install. list_assets covers the failure these servers usually have — the ticker you typed is not the identifier the source uses — by handing back the list to pick from.
What it is
Three tools over CoinCap: the bitcoin price, the price of an asset you name, and the list of assets available.
What you get
- The realtime bitcoin price from a call that takes no arguments
- The realtime price of a crypto asset you name
- Every available crypto asset listed, for when the name you have is not the one CoinCap uses
Requirements
npx on your PATH. No account and no key.
Setup effort
One command — npx coincap-mcp
USE CASES
01
Checking the bitcoin price mid-conversation
One call with no arguments returns the current price, which is the whole interaction when the number is all you wanted.
02
Pricing an asset whose ticker you are not sure of
List the assets CoinCap carries, pick the identifier it actually uses, and ask for that one's price rather than guessing at the symbol.
3 tools
Counted once with only startup setup. Other versions, modes or optional credentials may expose a different list.
