What does this MCP server track?

It tracks trending cryptocurrencies on CoinGecko, including coins gaining the most search interest, price momentum indicators, and market buzz metrics.

How often is the trending data updated?

Trending data reflects CoinGecko's own update cadence, which typically refreshes every few minutes. The MCP server fetches fresh data on each request.

Can I use this to identify early market movers?

The trending data can surface tokens experiencing rising interest before major price moves, but it should be combined with other analysis tools rather than used as a standalone signal.

CoinGecko Trending MCP

CoinGecko Trending MCP is an MCP server focused on surfacing trending cryptocurrency data from CoinGecko. It provides structured access to coins that are gaining momentum in search interest, price action, and community attention. Through the Model Context Protocol, AI agents can query trending tokens and incorporate market buzz into their analytical workflows.

The server specializes in momentum-oriented data points rather than comprehensive market coverage. This includes the CoinGecko trending coins list, recently added tokens, and coins seeing the largest gains in visibility. These data points are useful for agents tasked with scanning for emerging opportunities or monitoring shifts in market attention across the broader crypto ecosystem.

Configuration follows the standard MCP server setup pattern. After connecting the server to an MCP-compatible client, agents can request trending data as part of multi-step research workflows. The trending signals are most effective when combined with price data, volume analysis, and fundamental research from other sources rather than treated as standalone trading indicators.
