MCP server for cryptocurrency asset prices, exchange rates, and market metadata via Crypto APIs
MCP server for cryptocurrency asset prices, exchange rates, and market metadata via Crypto APIs. The cryptoapis mcp market data mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 4 defined tools rather than through you.
MCP server for Crypto APIs Market Data product. List supported assets, get exchange rates, and get asset details.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Cursor — The Cursor tool exposed by this servermarket_data_metadata — The market_data_metadata tool exposed by this servermarket_data_exchange_rates — The market_data_exchange_rates tool exposed by this servermarket_data_assets — The market_data_assets tool exposed by this serverYou will need 2 environment variables: CRYPTOAPIS_API_KEY, YOUR_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.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @cryptoapis-io/mcp-market-data on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
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. Cryptoapis MCP Market Data's toolset — Cursor, market_data_metadata, market_data_exchange_rates and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by cryptoapis-io; 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.
