Summary
Market screening, not just a price check.
Anything can quote a coin. The filters here — price band, market-cap band, sort field, result limit — are what let a question like what is above a billion and under a dollar be answered in one call.
What it is
A Python MCP server over CoinMarketCap's API. It returns a paginated listing of active cryptocurrencies with latest market data, detailed information on a named coin, and the latest quotes for one or several at a time.
What you get
- Active cryptocurrencies listed with latest market data, paginated
- Filters on minimum and maximum USD price and market cap
- Sorting by a field you choose, ascending or descending
- Market quotes converted into other currencies
- Coin detail and latest quotes addressed by id, slug or symbol
Requirements
A CoinMarketCap API key. Build with uv, or install for Claude Desktop through Smithery in one command.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — npx -y @smithery/cli install coin-api-mcp --client claude, then supply credentials
