Connects Claude to Coinpaprika's free crypto API with six core operations: list all 25,000 tracked coins, pull full profiles with team and tag data, fetch latest tickers for price and volume, grab historical OHLC candles up to a year back, check global market stats like BTC dominance, and run fuzzy search across coins and exchanges. Runs as a hosted gateway through Pipeworx, so no local setup or API keys needed. Reach for this when you need an alternative to CoinGecko or want quick crypto market context without managing rate limits yourself. The ask_pipeworx wrapper lets you query in plain English instead of calling tools directly.
Coinpaprika MCP — alternative crypto data source (~25k coins). Keyless free tier (25k req/month, no signup).
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.
list_coins() — all tracked coinsget_coin(coin_id) — coin profiletickers_latest(coin_id?, quotes?) — latest price + market datahistorical_ohlc(coin_id, start, end?, limit?, quote?) — daily OHLCglobal_market() — total market cap, BTC dominance, etc.search(query, modifier?, limit?) — fuzzy search across coins, exchanges, ICOshttps://api.coinpaprika.com/v1/ — no auth.
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"coinpaprika": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/coinpaprika/mcp"
}
}
}
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/coinpaprika/mcp returns the tools in the table
above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx,
discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1476+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Coinpaprika data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
