Package Exports

@bitcompare/mcp-server
@bitcompare/mcp-server/dist/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@bitcompare/mcp-server) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

@bitcompare/mcp-server

The official crypto MCP server: native Claude access to crypto rates, prices, coin metadata, stablecoin stability, and market stats. Built on Model Context Protocol — works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Claude.ai, and any MCP-compatible agent.

One npm install, eighteen tools, one API key.

npx -y @bitcompare/mcp-server

Requires a Bitcompare Pro or Enterprise plan. Get a ck_live_* key at https://pro.bitcompare.net/dashboard/keys.

What you get

18 read-only tools, all gated by the same plan limits as REST:

Crypto yield rates — current & historical lending, borrowing, savings, and staking APYs across 50+ providers
Coins — metadata, markets, history, similar coins, top-by-market-cap lookups, 500+ tracked
Prices — aggregated exchange prices with median + outlier filtering
Global market stats — total market cap, dominance, Fear & Greed Index, 24h top movers
Stablecoin rates & stability — peg deviation leaderboard, historical drift, yield comparison
Symbol resolution — map exchange-specific tickers (BTC, XBT, wBTC) to canonical coin IDs

Install

You don't need to install it — run via npx:

BITCOMPARE_API_KEY=ck_live_... npx @bitcompare/mcp-server --test

Configure Claude Desktop

Edit claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bitcompare": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@bitcompare/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "BITCOMPARE_API_KEY": "ck_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. Ask "what's the best yield on BTC right now?" — Claude will call get_rates and answer from live data.

Configure Claude Code

In your project's .claude/settings.local.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bitcompare": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@bitcompare/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "BITCOMPARE_API_KEY": "ck_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Hosted alternative

If you prefer not to install anything, we also run the MCP server at https://api.bitcompare.net/mcp over Streamable HTTP. Point your MCP client at that URL with an Authorization: Bearer ck_live_* header.

CLI flags

--test — validate your key and list available tools, then exit
--version — print version
--help — print help
--base-url <url> — override API base URL (for staging/dev)
