It is generated with Stainless.
You can run the MCP Server directly via npx:
export COINGECKO_PRO_API_KEY="My Pro API Key"
export COINGECKO_DEMO_API_KEY="My Demo API Key"
export COINGECKO_ENVIRONMENT="pro"
npx -y @coingecko/coingecko-mcp@latest
There is a partial list of existing clients at modelcontextprotocol.io. If you already have a client, consult their documentation to install the MCP server.
For clients with a configuration JSON, it might look something like this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"coingecko_api": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@coingecko/coingecko-mcp", "--client=claude", "--tools=dynamic"],
"env": {
"COINGECKO_PRO_API_KEY": "My Pro API Key",
"COINGECKO_DEMO_API_KEY": "My Demo API Key",
"COINGECKO_ENVIRONMENT": "pro"
}
}
}
}
There are two ways to expose endpoints as tools in the MCP server:
You can run the package on the command line to discover and filter the set of tools that are exposed by the MCP Server. This can be helpful for large APIs where including all endpoints at once is too much for your AI's context window.
You can filter by multiple aspects:
--tool includes a specific tool by name--resource includes all tools under a specific resource, and can have wildcards, e.g. my.resource*--operation includes just read (get/list) or just write operationsIf you specify --tools=dynamic to the MCP server, instead of exposing one tool per endpoint in the API, it will
expose the following tools:
list_api_endpoints - Discovers available endpoints, with optional filtering by search queryget_api_endpoint_schema - Gets detailed schema information for a specific endpointinvoke_api_endpoint - Executes any endpoint with the appropriate parametersThis allows you to have the full set of API endpoints available to your MCP Client, while not requiring that all of their schemas be loaded into context at once. Instead, the LLM will automatically use these tools together to search for, look up, and invoke endpoints dynamically. However, due to the indirect nature of the schemas, it can struggle to provide the correct properties a bit more than when tools are imported explicitly. Therefore, you can opt-in to explicit tools, the dynamic tools, or both.
See more information with --help.
All of these command-line options can be repeated, combined together, and have corresponding exclusion versions (e.g. --no-tool).
Use --list to see the list of available tools, or see below.
Different clients have varying abilities to handle arbitrary tools and schemas.
You can specify the client you are using with the --client argument, and the MCP server will automatically
serve tools and schemas that are more compatible with that client.
--client=<type>: Set all capabilities based on a known MCP client
openai-agents, claude, claude-code, cursor--client=cursorAdditionally, if you have a client not on the above list, or the client has gotten better over time, you can manually enable or disable certain capabilities:
--capability=<name>: Specify individual client capabilities
top-level-unions: Enable support for top-level unions in tool schemasvalid-json: Enable JSON string parsing for argumentsrefs: Enable support for $ref pointers in schemasunions: Enable support for union types (anyOf) in schemasformats: Enable support for format validations in schemas (e.g. date-time, email)tool-name-length=N: Set maximum tool name length to N characters--capability=top-level-unions --capability=tool-name-length=40--capability=top-level-unions,tool-name-length=40--resource=cards --operation=read
--resource=cards --no-tool=create_cards
--client=cursor --capability=tool-name-length=40
--resource=cards,accounts --operation=read --tag=kyc --no-tool=create_cards
Launching the client with --transport=http launches the server as a remote server using Streamable HTTP transport. The --port setting can choose the port it will run on, and the --socket setting allows it to run on a Unix socket.
Authorization can be provided via the following headers:
| Header | Equivalent client option | Security scheme |
|---|---|---|
x-cg-pro-api-key | proAPIKey | proKeyAuth |
x-cg-demo-api-key | demoAPIKey | demoKeyAuth |
A configuration JSON for this server might look like this, assuming the server is hosted at http://localhost:3000:
{
"mcpServers": {
"coingecko_coingecko_typescript_api": {
"url": "http://localhost:3000",
"headers": {
"x-cg-pro-api-key": "My Pro API Key"
}
}
}
}
