CoinPaprika — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Supplies real-time market metrics for 12,000+ cryptocurrencies directly to your assistant. Works out of the box for spot rates, exchange lists, and currency conversions.
claude mcp add --transport http coinpaprika https://mcp.coinpaprika.com/streamable-httpWhat CoinPaprika does
This integration connects coding agents to CoinPaprika data endpoints. It supplies thirty functions covering live market valuations, trade pairs across 350+ exchanges, and contract addresses across multiple networks. You can run it locally with npx or point your client directly at https://mcp.coinpaprika.com/streamable-http.
General queries do not need an account. You can pull 24-hour metrics, inspect token details, and calculate pair exchanges immediately.
Without a paid credential in COINPAPRIKA_API_KEY, historical OHLCV endpoints fail. The server will decline the request and instruct you to upgrade.
What it helps with
- fetch spot rates and trading volume for a token
- convert currency values between fiat and crypto
- inspect listed pairs across 350+ exchanges
- resolve token smart contracts across blockchains
- pull ongoing daily OHLCV candles

- Convert 0.5 BTC into USD at current rates.
- Which exchanges currently list trading pairs for SOL?
