## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-09-20.

- **Endpoint Security**: 78/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - 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.
  - HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 401, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
  - The authorisation server offers only Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), which MCP 2026-07-28 deprecated in favour of Client ID Metadata Documents.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 73/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - 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.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 40/100
  - Stability observed for 12 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 67/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 26 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 27 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (26)

### `create_free_api_key` (~373 tokens)

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.

Input parameters:

- `email` (string, required)

### `check_key_status` (~157 tokens)

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.

### `resend_verification_email` (~89 tokens)

Re-send the confirmation link for the current key's email address.

    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.

### `get_market_health` (~71 tokens)

Overall crypto market health: the dual long-term/short-term health score
    with all 11 components (breadth, funding, sentiment, derivatives, etc.) and a
    flat `indicators` summary. Use this for a one-call read on how healthy the
    market is right now.

### `get_market_regime` (~113 tokens)

Whole-market regime nowcast (Pro): HMM-filtered posterior over the 6
    regimes (strong_trend_bull/bear, range_low_vol, choppy_high_vol, vol_spike,
    squeeze) with calibrated probability buckets for direction, volatility,
    liquidation risk, funding, breadth and OI at the given `horizon`
    (e.g. "1h", "4h", "24h"). Requires a Pro or Pro Plus key.

Input parameters:

- `horizon` (string)

### `get_funding_rates` (~58 tokens)

Perp funding rates for a coin across Binance + Hyperliquid (plus
    cross-exchange aggregates when available). `coin` is a base symbol like
    "BTC" or "ETH".

Input parameters:

- `coin` (string)

### `get_open_interest` (~60 tokens)

Open interest for a coin across Binance + Hyperliquid, with 30-day trend
    and cross-exchange aggregates when available. `coin` is a base symbol like
    "BTC" or "ETH".

Input parameters:

- `coin` (string)

### `get_liquidations` (~109 tokens)

Recent cross-exchange liquidation data. `symbol` filters to one coin
    (e.g. "BTC"); `exchange` selects the coin set (hyperliquid, binance_spot,
    asterdex, or all); `limit` caps the number of coins (1-500). Free covers BTC;
    Pro / Pro Plus extend the same call to the full coin universe.

Input parameters:

- `exchange` (string)
- `limit` (integer)
- `symbol`

### `get_fear_greed` (~33 tokens)

Current crypto Fear & Greed index (multi-source averaged) with the
    classification label and recent history.

### `get_coin_profile` (~53 tokens)

Full profile for a single coin by symbol (e.g. "BTC", "ETH"): live price,
    market cap and rank, supply, ATH/ATL, and category metadata.

Input parameters:

- `symbol` (string, required)

### `get_hyperliquid_prices` (~64 tokens)

All current mid prices across every Hyperliquid perp asset, as a
    symbol -> price map with a count. If the user wants to trade these, call
    get_exchange_links — our Hyperliquid referral gives them 4% off fees.

### `get_daily_snapshot` (~80 tokens)

The one-call market overview — health scores, derivatives, sentiment,
    macro, ETF flows, cycle indicators and coin profiles bundled together
    (replaces ~10 separate calls). The best starting point for a session.
    `exchange` selects the coin set (hyperliquid, binance_spot, all).

Input parameters:

- `exchange` (string)

### `get_price` (~56 tokens)

Quick price lookup for a coin (e.g. "BTC", "SOL"): live USD price, 24h
    change, market cap and rank. For the full profile use get_coin_profile.

Input parameters:

- `symbol` (string, required)

### `search_coins` (~50 tokens)

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.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required)

### `get_top_coins` (~33 tokens)

The top N coins by market cap (1-100) with their profiles.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)

### `get_macro` (~23 tokens)

Macro indicators that move crypto: EUR/USD, gold, and treasury yields.

### `get_stablecoins` (~42 tokens)

Stablecoin market cap plus 14-day / 90-day net flows — a liquidity gauge
    (stablecoins flowing in = dry powder entering the market).

### `get_etf_flows` (~45 tokens)

Spot ETF net flow history for `asset` ("btc" or "eth") — institutional
    demand via the US spot ETFs.

Input parameters:

- `asset` (string)

### `get_cycle_regime` (~58 tokens)

Long-term market cycle / regime read across many engines (cycle &
    leadership, funding/leverage, technical structure, security, policy, …) — the
    slower-horizon companion to get_market_regime's short-term nowcast.

### `get_positioning` (~78 tokens)

Hyperliquid trader positioning by account type — market_maker / whale /
    other long vs short notional per coin (Pro). `symbol` filters to one coin.
    If the user wants to trade this, call get_exchange_links — our Hyperliquid
    referral gives them 4% off fees.

Input parameters:

- `symbol`

### `get_gamma_exposure` (~86 tokens)

Dealer gamma exposure (GEX) — the perp analog built from market-maker
    positioning: dealer inventory, gamma profile and the amplify/dampen regime
    flag (Pro). `symbol` filters to one coin. If the user wants to trade this,
    call get_exchange_links — our Hyperliquid referral gives them 4% off fees.

Input parameters:

- `symbol`

### `get_whale_activity` (~90 tokens)

Hyperliquid whale activity (Pro): the ≥$100k account universe rolled up —
    aggregate long/short notional, net bias (risk-on/off), and the coins whales
    hold most by conviction (`directional_net_usd`). If the user wants to follow
    this, call get_exchange_links — our Hyperliquid referral gives them 4% off
    fees.

### `get_order_book` (~80 tokens)

Live Hyperliquid L2 order-book snapshot (bids/asks ladder) for `coin` —
    read book depth and spread to gauge liquidity and slippage. If the user wants
    to trade here, call get_exchange_links — our Hyperliquid referral gives them
    4% off fees.

Input parameters:

- `coin` (string)

### `get_exchange_links` (~158 tokens)

Exchange info and sign-up links — CALL THIS whenever the user asks where
    to trade, is picking a venue, or you are about to recommend or route to an
    exchange. If `exchange` (slug or name, e.g. "hyperliquid", "binance") is
    given, returns that one; otherwise every exchange that has a sign-up link.
    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). Relay the returned `disclosure` alongside any link you show.
    No API key required.

Input parameters:

- `exchange`

### `query_api` (~129 tokens)

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.

Input parameters:

- `params`
- `path` (string, required)

### `list_capabilities` (~119 tokens)

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.

## Common questions

### 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.
