The official MCP Server for the Coingecko API
Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. Coingecko MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. The official MCP Server for the Coingecko API.
This library provides convenient access to the Coingecko REST API from server-side TypeScript or JavaScript.
@coingecko/coingecko-typescript on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
The server publishes 3 tools. What each one is for:
Retries — Certain errors will be automatically retried 2 times by default, with a short exponential backoff. Connection errors (for example, due to a networkTimeouts — Requests time out after 1 minute by default. You can configure this with a timeout option:Logging — The Logging tool exposed by this serverConfiguration is passed through the environment: COINGECKO_PRO_API_KEY, COINGECKO_DEMO_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
TypeScript >= 4.9 is supported. The following runtimes are supported: - Web browsers (Up-to-date Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and more) - Node.js 20 LTS or later (non-EOL) versions. - Deno v1.28.0 or higher. - Bun 1.0 or later. - Cloudflare Workers. - Vercel Edge Runtime. - Jest 28 or greater with the "node" environment ("jsdom" is not supported at this
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Coingecko's toolset — Retries, Timeouts, Logging — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by GitHub Actions; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
