CoinPaprika MCP

Overview

CoinPaprika's official MCP server gives agents on-demand access to CoinPaprika's market-data API through 30 tools spanning coin listings and profiles, real-time tickers and quotes, OHLCV candles, exchange and market data, tags, team info, and contract lookups across 8,000+ coins and 200+ exchanges — no API key required for the free tier. A builder installs it via npm or points an MCP client at CoinPaprika's hosted streamable-HTTP endpoint, with optional paid-tier tools (historical data, ID mapping) unlocked by an API key.

Answers a call

not asked — no tool is named as a read (list_/get_/search_)

Live probe verifies the interface responds — not what the tools do, their safety, or their output quality. The call is one read-only tool named by this server's own list (list_/get_/search_, no mutating verb anywhere in the name, no required arguments and none that look like a key, an address or an amount), asked once a day with no arguments. Not asked is not a failure.
