The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Crypto Prices MCP Server An Apify Actor that provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for querying real-time cryptocurrency data. Look up prices, find trending coins, and search across thousands of tokens -- all powered by CoinGecko's free API with no keys required. ### What does it do? This MCP server gives any MCP client instant access to live crypto market data. It wraps CoinGecko's public API, so there's nothing to configure and no credentials to manage. With this server you can: - Get the current price, market cap, and 24-hour change for any coin - See which coins are trending right now on CoinGecko - Search for coins by name or symbol to find the right coin ID ### Why use it? - **Zero configuration** -- no API keys or authentication needed - **Works with any MCP client** -- any MCP-compatible tool or IDE integration - **Pay-per-use pricing** -- only $0.03 per tool call, no subscription - **Real-time data** -- prices and trends are fetched live from CoinGecko - **Hosted on Apify** -- no infrastructure to manage ### How to use #### MCP client setup Add the following to your MCP client configuration file: ```json { "mcpServers": { "crypto-prices-mcp": { "type": "url", "url": "https://nyxar_dev--crypto-prices-mcp.apify.actor/mcp" } } } ```` #### Other MCP clients Point any MCP-compatible client at the endpoint: ``` https://nyxar_dev--crypto-prices-mcp.apify.actor/mcp ``` The server accepts HTTP POST requests with JSON-RPC payloads as defined by the MCP specification. ### Tools #### get\_price Get the current price of a cryptocurrency, including market cap and 24-hour change. | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|--------|----------|---------|--------------------------------------------------------------| | coin\_id | string | yes | -- | CoinGecko coin ID (e.g. `bitcoin`, `ethereum`, `solana`) | | currency | string | no | usd | Target currency (e.g. `usd`, `eur`, `gbp`) | #### get\_trending Get the top 7 trending coins on CoinGecko right now. No parameters required. #### search\_coins Search for a cryptocurrency by name or symbol. | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|--------|----------|---------|--------------------------------------------------| | query | string | yes | -- | Search query (e.g. `bitcoin`, `eth`, `doge`) | ### Output examples #### get\_price ```json { "coin": "bitcoin", "price": 67432.00, "market_cap": 1327000000000, "change_24h": 2.34 } ``` #### get\_trending ```json [ { "name": "Pepe", "symbol": "PEPE", "market_cap_rank": 24, "price_btc": 1.2e-10 } ] ``` #### search\_coins ```json [ { "id": "bitcoin", "name": "Bitcoin", "symbol": "BTC", "market_cap_rank": 1 }, { "id": "bitcoin-cash", "name": "Bitcoin Cash", "symbol": "BCH", "market_cap_rank": 18 } ] ``` ### Pricing This Actor uses a pay-per-event pricing model. Each tool call costs **$0.03 USD**. ### License ISC # Actor input Schema ## Actor input object example ```json {} ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("nyxar_dev/crypto-prices-mcp").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
