Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coinmarket": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "build"
      ]
    }
  }
}
Run commanddocker run -i --rm build

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Components

Resources

  • Each note resource has a name, description and text/plain mimetype
Tools

The server implements two tools:

  • get-currency-listings: Get the latest currency listings
  • get-quotes: Get quotes for tokens
    • Takes "slug" (example: bitcoin) or "symbol" (example: BTC) as optional string argument

Configuration

Requires coinmarket API key.

Quickstart

Prerequisites
  • Python 3.12 or higher
  • uv package manager
Install

Install uv if you haven't already:

# macOS and Linux
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Windows
powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
Claude Desktop

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Development/Unpublished Servers Configuration ``` "mcpServers": { "coinmarket_service": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/path/to/coinmarket_service", "run", "coinmarket_service" ], "env": { "COINMARKET_API_KEY": "" } } } ```
Docker

You can also run the server using Docker:

# Build the image
docker build -t coinmarket-service .

# Run the container
docker run -e COINMARKET_API_KEY=your_api_key_here coinmarket-service

For Claude Desktop configuration with Docker:

"mcpServers": {
  "coinmarket_service": {
    "command": "docker",
    "args": [
      "run",
      "--rm",
      "-e",
      "COINMARKET_API_KEY=<insert api key>",
      "coinmarket-service"
    ]
  }
}

Troubleshooting

"spawn uv ENOENT" Error

If you see this error, it means uv is not installed or not in your PATH:

  1. Install uv following the instructions above
  2. Restart your terminal/Claude Desktop after installation
  3. Verify installation: Run uv --version in terminal
  4. Update PATH: Make sure uv is in your system PATH
Configuration Issues
  • Replace /path/to/coinmarket_service with the actual path to your cloned repository
  • Ensure your COINMARKET_API_KEY is valid
  • The path should point to the root directory containing pyproject.toml

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
