Before you start

• Node.js 20 LTS or later (for the local stdio server via npx)
• Optionally a CoinGecko API key — a free Demo key (100 calls/min, 10k calls/month) or a Pro key — from the CoinGecko API pricing page; no key is needed for the public keyless remote endpoint
• An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code

4. 4For the remote option, point your client at `https://mcp.api.coingecko.com/mcp` (keyless) or `https://mcp.pro-api.coingecko.com/mcp` (Pro)
5. 5Restart the client and ask for a coin price to verify the connection
