What price data does this server provide?

It provides current token prices, price change percentages, and token metadata from CoinGecko, covering thousands of cryptocurrencies across multiple fiat and crypto quote currencies.

How does this differ from other CoinGecko MCP servers?

This server focuses specifically on price data retrieval and token information lookups, offering a streamlined interface for price-centric workflows rather than broader market analytics.

Can I query prices in different currencies?

Yes. CoinGecko supports pricing in multiple fiat currencies and crypto base pairs, and the server passes through these options as tool parameters.

CoinGecko Price MCP | CLI Trader

CoinGecko Price MCP is an MCP server built around CoinGecko’s price data and token information endpoints. It provides AI agents with structured access to real-time cryptocurrency prices, price change metrics, and basic token details. The server translates MCP tool calls into CoinGecko API requests and returns typed responses for downstream agent processing.

The server is oriented toward price-focused workflows. Agents can retrieve current spot prices across multiple tokens, check percentage changes over various time windows, and look up token metadata such as contract addresses and supported exchanges. This focused scope makes it well-suited for price monitoring tasks, alert-driven workflows, and quick comparative price checks without the overhead of broader market data endpoints.

Setup requires configuring the server with CoinGecko API credentials and registering it with an MCP-compatible client. Once operational, the server handles request formatting, rate limiting, and response parsing. Users should be aware of CoinGecko’s rate limits on free-tier API keys and plan their query frequency accordingly to avoid throttling during high-usage periods.
