Step-by-step setup for the most popular AI clients.

Setting up CoinGecko

From the connector definition itself: where to find the credentials, what they need to be allowed to do, and which API this adapter talks to.

This connector wraps the CoinGecko REST API.

Setup:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Paid PRO plans use a different host (pro-api.coingecko.com) and header x-cg-pro-api-key — switch baseUrl + auth header accordingly.
  4. Set COINGECKO_API_KEY if you have one; leave unset for anonymous public access.

Authentication: optional. When COINGECKO_API_KEY is set, the adapter sends x-cg-demo-api-key: ${KEY}. When unset, no auth header is sent.

Coin IDs not symbols: CoinGecko endpoints want the internal coin ID (bitcoin, ethereum, solana), not the ticker (BTC, ETH, SOL). Use coingecko_search or coingecko_list_coins first to look up the canonical ID. The mapping is one-way: 'BTC' → 'bitcoin'.

Pagination: most list endpoints support per_page (1-250) and page (1-based). Default per_page is 100.

Currency codes: pass vs_currency=usd|eur|btc|eth lowercase. The full list is at /simple/supported_vs_currencies.

Rate limits: 429 responses come with a Retry-After header — respect it. Public tier: ~10-30/min; Demo: 30/min; Pro: from 500/min.

Out of scope here: streaming/WebSocket price feeds, DEX-specific GraphQL endpoints (use the dedicated Onchain DEX API instead), CSV bulk export.
