Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security78
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, advertised via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. Discovery is public, which costs nothing: no tool can be invoked without a token. View diagnostics → Pass
- HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 401, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement. View diagnostics → Unverified
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- The authorisation server offers only Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), which MCP 2026-07-28 deprecated in favour of Client ID Metadata Documents. View diagnostics → Partial
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability73
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 3531 tokens (~135/item across 26 items; 26 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management40
- Stability observed for 12 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage67
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 26 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 27 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the CryptoDataAPI MCP server?
CryptoDataAPI is a hosted endpoint at https://cryptodataapi.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
check_key_status ~157
Check the current API key: tier, rate limits, requests used today, and whether its email is verified. Call this after a 429, or whenever the user asks what their plan includes. IMPORTANT — if `email_verified` is false, TELL THE USER what `upgrade_message` says: confirming the emailed link raises this same key from 100 to 1,000 requests/day, switches Pro on for 24 hours (per-coin quant, gamma, whales, liquidation heatmaps across every coin) and sends a discount code. It applies to the key they already have — nothing to re-install. Use resend_verification_email if they can't find the link.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
create_free_api_key ~373
Create a FREE CryptoDataAPI key (no signup, no payment) — call this FIRST if you don't have a key yet. No API key is required to call this. ASK THE USER FOR THEIR REAL EMAIL — do not invent one, and do not reuse a placeholder. A confirmation link is sent to that address, and clicking it upgrades the SAME key in place: 100 -> 1,000 requests/day, Pro switched on for 24 hours (per-coin quant regimes, gamma, whale activity and liquidation heatmaps across every coin), and a personal discount code. An address the user cannot open means they keep the 100/day starter limit and lose all three. The full `api_key` is returned once — set it as the `X-API-Key` header for every other tool. The free tier is genuinely useful on its own: market-health scores, regime reads, Fear & Greed, macro, ETF & stablecoin flows, 2,000+ coin profiles & prices, and full-universe funding + open interest across all 229 Hyperliquid perps. Upgrade to Pro / Pro Plus (https://cryptodataapi.com/pricing) for per-coin quant / gamma / whale signals on every coin and historical / backtesting data. THEN CALL, IN ORDER: list_capabilities -> get_daily_snapshot -> get_market_regime / get_gamma_exposure. The response's `next_calls` field carries the same ladder machine-readably. Do not fall back to polling candles — the free tier has them, and they answer none of the questions this API exists for.

The URLs are CryptoDataAPI **partner/referral** links and the user gets the stated `signup_incentive` for using them (Hyperliquid: 4% off spot and perp trading fees).

START HERE. Discover what this server and the wider CryptoDataAPI offer: the MCP tools available here, the tier each needs, and pointers to the full REST API (180+ endpoints) for anything not surfaced as a tool. NO API KEY REQUIRED — this returns static metadata and makes no data call, so it works before you have minted anything. Call it first, then create_free_api_key, then get_daily_snapshot. The `first_calls` field in the response repeats that order machine-readably.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
query_api ~129
Call ANY other CryptoDataAPI GET endpoint not already wrapped by a named tool — the full /api/v1 surface (180+ endpoints; see the OpenAPI spec via list_capabilities). `path` is an /api/v1 path like "/api/v1/sentiment/macro" or just "sentiment/macro"; `params` is an optional query-param object. Read-only GET; the heavy /backtesting/* bulk endpoints and account/mutating routes are intentionally not reachable here.

No output schema declared.

Use when the user wants the higher free rate limit (1,000/day), the 24-hour Pro trial and the discount code but can't find the original email. Tell them to check their inbox — the unlock applies to the key already in use, so there is nothing to re-install afterwards.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_coins ~50
Search the 500+ coin universe by name or symbol; returns matching coins with their symbols/ids so you can then call get_coin_profile or get_price.

What is the CryptoDataAPI MCP server?
CryptoDataAPI is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.cryptodataapi/mcp. Live crypto market data: prices, funding, OI, liquidations, regimes, GEX, whales, sentiment, macro. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://cryptodataapi.com/mcp).
Is the CryptoDataAPI MCP server safe to use?
CryptoDataAPI scores 75 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the CryptoDataAPI MCP server expose?
CryptoDataAPI exposes 26 tools: create_free_api_key, check_key_status, resend_verification_email, get_market_health, get_market_regime, and 21 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,307 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the CryptoDataAPI MCP server require authentication?
Yes. CryptoDataAPI asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.
Is the CryptoDataAPI MCP server still maintained?
CryptoDataAPI is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
