Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about setting up and using the CoinGecko MCP Server.

Setup & Configuration

Make sure you restart your MCP client completely after adding the configuration. The client needs to reload to discover the new server and its tools.

For Claude Desktop, quit the app entirely and reopen it. Simply refreshing or starting a new conversation won't pick up configuration changes.

First, check your internet connection and verify that https://mcp.pro-api.coingecko.com/sse is accessible from your browser.

Some corporate firewalls or restrictive networks may block this endpoint. If you're on a work network, you may need to ask your IT team to whitelist the domain.

You can also try testing the connection with: curl https://mcp.pro-api.coingecko.com/sse

Ensure Node.js is properly installed on your system. You can check by running node --version and npm --version in your terminal.

Test if the mcp-remote package is accessible by running: npx mcp-remote --version

If you get permission errors, try clearing the npm cache: npm cache clean --force

API Keys & Rate Limits

Yes, you need to provide your own CoinGecko API key to access the server. This is required to authenticate your requests and ensure you stay within your rate limits.

Compatibility & Debugging

The server works with any MCP-compatible client that supports remote servers. All CoinGecko tools are available automatically.

Tested and confirmed working with Claude Desktop, n8n, and other modern MCP implementations.

Most clients load the tool definitions without additional configuration.

Claude Desktop logs:

# macOS
~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log

# Windows  
%LOCALAPPDATA%\\Claude\\Logs\\

# Linux
~/.local/share/Claude/logs/

For other MCP clients, consult your client's documentation for log file locations.

Check if the tools are being loaded properly by asking your MCP client to list available tools.

Ensure you're using natural language queries rather than trying to call functions directly.

Try simple queries first like "What's the current price of Bitcoin?" before attempting complex multi-step operations.

Usage & Features

You can access comprehensive crypto data including real-time prices, market caps, trading volumes, historical charts, exchange information, NFT collection data, DeFi pools, trending coins, and much more.

The server provides tools covering everything from basic price queries to advanced on-chain analytics.

Data is updated in real-time directly from CoinGecko's live API. Price data is typically updated every few minutes, while market data refresh rates vary by endpoint.

The server provides the same fresh data you'd get from CoinGecko's website and official API.

Yes by bringing your own key, you can use this server for commercial and production applications, but please note that it is currently in beta.

Please obtain your own CoinGecko API key to ensure higher rate limits and compliance with CoinGecko's terms of service.

Example Usage
