Learn how to connect the Crypto.com Market Data MCP server to your AI assistant

Welcome!

The Crypto.com Market Data MCP Server lets you access real-time cryptocurrency market information directly in your AI assistant conversations. Whether you’re using ChatGPT or Claude, you can ask questions about crypto prices, market trends, and trading data.

What is MCP?

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. Think of it as a way for your AI assistant (like ChatGPT or Claude) to connect to external services and get fresh, real-time information.

Without MCP, your AI assistant only knows information from its training data. With MCP, it can:

  • Get current cryptocurrency prices
  • Check market trends
  • Access trading volumes
  • And much more!

What Can You Do With This?

Once you’ve set up the Crypto.com Market Data MCP server, you can ask your AI assistant questions like:

  • “What’s the current price of Bitcoin?”
  • “Show me the top 10 cryptocurrencies”
  • “What’s the 24-hour trading volume for Ethereum?”
  • “Compare the prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum”
  • “What are the trending cryptocurrencies today?”

Your AI assistant will fetch real-time data from Crypto.com and give you accurate, up-to-date answers!

How Does It Work?

Here’s a simple overview:

  1. You configure your AI app - You add a small piece of configuration to ChatGPT or Claude
  2. The app connects to the MCP server - Your AI assistant connects to https://mcp.crypto.com/market-data/mcp
  3. You ask questions - You chat normally with your AI assistant
  4. Real-time data is fetched - When you ask about crypto, the AI gets fresh data from Crypto.com
  5. You get accurate answers - The AI responds with current market information
