CoinGecko + Cursor
Query CoinGecko (crypto prices, market data, historical, exchanges, NFT floor prices) from any AI agent. 8 tools, optional API-key auth.
Prerequisites
See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:
(none — public API)
Step 1 — Get credentials
This connector wraps the CoinGecko REST API.
Setup:
- The PUBLIC API (api.coingecko.com/api/v3) requires NO API key but is harshly rate-limited (~10-30 calls/min) and missing some endpoints.
- For higher throughput, sign up for the free DEMO plan at https://www.coingecko.com/en/developers/dashboard → create an
x-cg-demo-api-key. This raises the limit to 30 calls/min and stays free. - Paid PRO plans use a different host (pro-api.coingecko.com) and header
x-cg-pro-api-key— switch baseUrl + auth header accordingly. - Set
COINGECKO_API_KEYif you have one; leave unset for anonymous public access.
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
Step 2 — Install the adapter
git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d
Step 3 — Add the connector in Cursor
Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Add this entry:
{
"mcpServers": {
"anythingmcp": {
"url": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
}
}
}
- Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key.
- Save the file and restart Cursor.
- Open Cursor → Settings → MCP to verify
CoinGeckois listed and "Connected". - Start chatting — all
CoinGeckotools are now invokable.
