💰 Pricing

Event	Price (USD)	When it is charged
Actor Start (apify-actor-start)	$5e-05	Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event).
Tool call (tool-call)	$0.05	Per-tool invocation via MCP Standby

Pay-per-event: you pay only for what the run delivers. A run that delivers nothing bills no result events (only the actor-start event, when the actor defines one). Example: a run that delivers 100 results costs 100 × $0.05 = $5.00 plus the start fee.

🪙 Crypto Prices MCP Server — Coin Prices & FX Rates for Claude / ChatGPT

Connect AI agents to live cryptocurrency prices and fiat exchange rates through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Clean JSON tuned for LLM function-calling. Pay-per-use, no subscription.

What You Get

This MCP server exposes 2 tools to your AI agent:

• crypto_prices — live cryptocurrency prices (sourced from CoinGecko)
• exchange_rates — fiat currency exchange rates (e.g. USD/EUR/GBP). Note: this is fiat-to-fiat FX, not crypto-exchange data.

All responses are structured JSON for LLM tool use.

Use Cases

• Portfolio assistants — an agent fetches current coin prices on demand
• FX-aware agents — convert between fiat currencies using live rates
• Chatbots — answer "what's the price of Bitcoin right now?"

Quick Start

Wire this MCP server into an MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline) by pointing your config at this actor's MCP endpoint:

https://nexgendata--crypto-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp

Pricing

This actor uses Apify pay-per-event pricing — charged per successful tool call, no monthly subscription.

FAQ

Q: Which coins are supported? Crypto prices are sourced from CoinGecko's public data.

Q: Does it provide OHLCV/historical candles, trending coins, market dominance, fear & greed, developer activity, or DEX data? No. This server provides current crypto prices and fiat exchange rates only.

Q: Is exchange_rates for crypto exchanges? No — it returns fiat currency exchange rates (e.g. USD to EUR), not data about cryptocurrency exchanges.

Q: Can the AI agent call this from Cursor / Cline / Claude Desktop? Yes — any MCP-compatible client works.
