Crypto Trader MCP

What it is

Six tools over the CoinGecko API, built for Claude Desktop. Ask for a coin's current price with the day's change and volume, its fuller market record, or a dated price series over a stretch of days. Search resolves a name or partial ticker into the ids the other tools expect, and two market-wide tools cover what is trending and the global picture.

What you get

• Current price for a coin with the day's change, volume and market capitalisation
• The fuller market record: rank, circulating and total supply, the day's high and low, all-time high and low with their dates
• A dated price series over the number of days you ask for
• Search that turns a partial name or ticker into the ids and symbols the other tools take
• The coins trending right now, with rank and price
• Global market figures: active coins, market count, total capitalisation and volume, and each major coin's share

Requirements

Python with the project's dependencies, and a config entry pointing Claude Desktop at the server's main.py. It reads CoinGecko's free API, so there is no account to create and no key to obtain — and that API is rate-limited, so rapid-fire questions can be throttled.

Setup effort

Build from source — git clone https://github.com/SaintDoresh/Crypto-Trader-MCP-ClaudeDesktop.git

Tools you get

6 tools named in the project's documentation. Nothing trades: every tool reads public CoinGecko market data, with no orders or wallet. Expect CoinGecko free-tier throttling.

Requires

Windows — the configuration the project publishes launches with py -3.13, the Windows Python launcher, which does not exist on macOS or Linux

Where it runs

The documented client runs the server on your machine.
