get-crypto-price
Get current price and 24h stats for a cryptocurrency
LABSCO SUMMARY
The market-analysis call is the one that earns its place — price is available everywhere, exchange and volume distribution is not.
get-crypto-price answers the question everything answers. What get-market-analysis adds is where that price is being made: the top exchanges and how the volume spreads across them, which is the difference between a number and a number you can judge the liquidity behind. get-historical-analysis takes a day count and an interval as separate arguments, so the window and the resolution are independent decisions rather than one fixed shape. Every call here is keyed on a symbol, so there is no id resolution step in the way.
What it is
A CoinCap price and market client with three tools: current price, market analysis, and historical analysis.
What you get
- Current state: get-crypto-price returns the current price and 24-hour statistics for a symbol.
- Where the price is being made: get-market-analysis returns detailed market analysis including the top exchanges and how volume is distributed across them.
- History on your terms: get-historical-analysis takes a number of days and an interval alongside the symbol, so the window and the resolution are chosen separately.
Requirements
A CoinCap API key, supplied as COINCAP_API_KEY.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — npm install @bujaayjaay/mcp-coincap-jj, then supply credentials
USE CASES
01
Getting a price you can say where it came from
Current price with the 24-hour stats, plus which exchanges are actually making that price — so a thin market does not read the same as a deep one.
02
Looking at a window rather than a moment
Pull a historical series over the interval you choose, instead of inferring a trend from a single quote.
3 tools
Counted once with only startup setup. Other versions, modes or optional credentials may expose a different list.
get-historical-analysis
Get historical price analysis with customizable timeframe
get-market-analysis
Get detailed market analysis including top exchanges and volume distribution
