## Setup

## Setup
Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config file:

- **MacOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-crypto-price": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-crypto-price"]
    }
  }
}
```

## Optional: CoinCap API Key

For higher rate limits, add an API key to your configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-crypto-price": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-crypto-price"],
      "env": {
        "COINCAP_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

> **Important Note**: CoinCap is sunsetting their v2 API. This MCP supports both v2 and v3 APIs:
> - If you provide a `COINCAP_API_KEY`, it will attempt to use the v3 API first, falling back to v2 if necessary
> - Without an API key, it will use the v2 API (which will eventually be discontinued)
> - It's recommended to obtain an API key from [pro.coincap.io/dashboard](https://pro.coincap.io/dashboard) as the v2 API will be completely deactivated in the future
