What is the CoinAPI MCP Server?
Equip your AI agent with institutional-grade cryptocurrency market intelligence via CoinAPI. This unified server provides your agent with instant access to real-time and historical pricing, volume, trades, and order book data across hundreds of crypto exchanges. Your agent can instantly fetch precise exchange rates, audit OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) data, and retrieve Level 2 order books without you ever manually checking an exchange. Whether you are tracking market momentum or building an automated trading strategy, your agent acts as a dedicated quantitative analyst through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Market Rates — Retrieve current exchange rates between any cryptocurrency and fiat currency pair.
- Timeseries Data — Fetch detailed OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) records to analyze price actions across various timeframes.
- Trade Activity — Monitor the most recent executed trades on any specific exchange and symbol.
- Order Book Depth — Access Level 2 order book data to analyze liquidity and bid/ask spreads.
- Asset Intelligence — List all supported fiat and crypto assets, symbols, and integrated exchanges.

Frequently asked questions
How do I format the symbol ID to get specific exchange data?
CoinAPI uses a specific format: EXCHANGE_TYPE_BASE_QUOTE. For example, to get Bitcoin to USD on Bitstamp, use BITSTAMP_SPOT_BTC_USD. You can use the list_symbols tool to find exact identifiers.
Can I get the current price of Ethereum in Euros?
Yes! Use the get_specific_rate tool. Set asset_id_base to 'ETH' and asset_id_quote to 'EUR'. This will return the real-time average conversion rate.
What timeframes are available for OHLCV data?
The get_ohlcv tool supports various periods via the period_id parameter, such as 1MIN, 1HRS, 1DAY, 1MTH, etc. It defaults to 1DAY.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
