Inject live crypto event data into your Cursor workspace

This MCP Server feeds real-time cryptocurrency calendar data directly into your Cursor workspace. You can write trading algorithms or build dashboard widgets using actual upcoming event schedules instead of hardcoding old dates. Cursor uses `list_events` and `list_popular_events` to pull active market catalysts straight into your editor. Because it handles live API payloads, your agent writes code that matches the exact structure of the returned event objects.

Verify coin identifiers and tickers in Cursor

This MCP Server verifies coin identifiers and tickers directly within your Cursor editor. You can resolve confusing tickers without leaving your active files. The agent calls `get_coin_id` and `list_coins` to resolve symbols like BTC or ETH to their specific backend keys. Cursor uses these verified identifiers to construct precise API queries during your debug loops.

Query specific event parameters during Cursor sessions

This MCP Server queries specific CoinMarketCal event parameters during Cursor chat sessions. You get immediate access to proof links and community confidence metrics. By invoking `get_event_details`, the agent retrieves deep metadata for any specific event ID you reference. Cursor displays this validation data inline, letting you write logic that filters out unverified or low-confidence events.

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".

Add the CoinMarketCal MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Common questions about CoinMarketCal MCP in Cursor

Add the server entry to your `.cursor/mcp.json` file in your project root. Once added, Cursor automatically detects the tools and makes them available in Agent mode.

Yes, Cursor can generate code that triggers actions based on events returned by `list_trending_events`. You can have the agent write scripts that monitor these trends.

No, you do not need to store coin lists locally. Cursor calls `list_coins` directly through the MCP Server to get the most up-to-date token list.

Yes, you can ask Cursor to find events within a specific range. The agent executes `search_events_by_date` to pull the exact timeframe you need for your application.

The tool only accesses the query parameters you explicitly send, like coin names and date ranges. Your local source code, environment variables, and proprietary algorithms in Cursor are never exposed to the external API.
