What is the Coinmarket MCP server?

Coinmarket MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Coinmarket directly instead of describing what you should do. The server implements a few of the Coinmarket API endpoints - Custom coinmarket:// URI scheme for accessing individual notes - Each note resource has a name.

What the assistant can call

Once Coinmarket is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • get-currency-listings — Get the latest currency listings
  • get-quotes — Get quotes for tokens
  • Resources — The server implements a few of the Coinmarket API endpoints - Custom
  • Tools — The server implements two tools: - get-currency-listings: Get the latest currency listings - get-quotes: Get quotes for tokens - Takes "slug"
  • Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this server

Setting it up

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.

Configuration and credentials

You will need one environment variable: COINMARKET_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

  • Python 3.12 or higher - uv package manager

Choosing this one

This sits in the planning and project tracking group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Coinmarket's toolset — get-currency-listings, get-quotes, Resources and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by anjor; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Coinmarket's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Before you rely on it

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the coinmarket mcp server does with a few real requests.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Coinmarket to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 5 tools (get-currency-listings, get-quotes, Resources, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Coinmarket directly.
