analysis-candlestick
Get OHLCV candlestick data for a cryptocurrency. Useful for charting and technical analysis.
LABSCO SUMMARY
One call answers 'how is it trading' with the indicators and the venue split already attached.
The grouping is where the value sits: analysis-technical returns five indicators in a single response, and market-analysis returns the per-exchange breakdown that normally means a second source. Everything here is read-only — no orders, no portfolio, no alerts — so it belongs beside an analysis workflow rather than a trading one. The split addressing is the one thing to keep straight: symbols for assets, slugs for fiat rates, exchangeIds for venues.
What it is
A server over CoinCap market data, 13 tools spanning spot prices, historical series, technical indicators, exchange breakdowns and global market totals.
What you get
- price-get returns price, 24-hour change, trading volume and market cap for a symbol or name, and price-convert turns an amount into USD, EUR, JPY or another fiat at the live rate
- analysis-technical returns SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD and VWAP together, so momentum and trend questions are one call rather than a sequence
- analysis-historical returns a series over a timeframe you set with period high and low, change percentage and volatility, and analysis-candlestick returns OHLCV for the same window
- market-analysis breaks one coin down by venue — the top 5 exchanges by volume, the price at each and the volume distribution percentages
- Discovery and ranking: assets-top by market cap, assets-search by name, symbol or partial match, assets-info for supply, max supply, VWAP and rank, assets-compare for 2-5 coins at once
- Market-wide context from market-global: total market capitalisation, 24-hour volume, Bitcoin dominance and the number of active cryptocurrencies, with market-exchanges and market-rates covering venues and fiat rates
Requirements
COINCAP_API_KEY. Addressing differs by tool: price-get, analysis-technical and assets-info take a symbol, market-rates takes a slug such as 'euro' or 'bitcoin', and market-exchanges takes an exchangeId such as 'binance'. MIT licensed.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — npx -y mcp-crypto-price, then supply credentials
USE CASES
01
Sizing up a coin before making a call on it
Get the live price with its 24-hour change and market cap, read the supply and rank behind it, then take the indicators in one call rather than assembling them.
02
Telling a real move apart from one busy venue
Break the volume down by exchange to see whether the price is holding across venues, check where volume sits overall, and put the move against the period's high, low and volatility.
03
Choosing between a shortlist of assets
Resolve partial names into actual assets, put 2-5 of them side by side on price, change, volume, market cap and rank, and check where they sit in the overall ranking.
04
Reading the market's overall temperature
Take total market cap, 24-hour volume and Bitcoin dominance in one call, then convert a holding into the currency you actually think in.
