Claude Code is Anthropic’s terminal-native coding agent. Plug CoinGecko in through any combination of the three integrations below — they’re complementary, not exclusive.

​
1. Install the SKILL

The fastest setup. Gives Claude Code built-in knowledge of the CoinGecko API so it writes correct requests without you pasting reference docs every session. 
npx skills add coingecko/skills -g -y
Full instructions: SKILL docs.

​
2. Add the MCP Server

Connects Claude Code to live CoinGecko data — prices, market caps, onchain pools, OHLCV, NFTs, and more. Add to your claude_desktop_config.json (or project-level MCP config): 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coingecko_mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://mcp.api.coingecko.com/mcp"]
    }
  }
}
Full instructions: MCP Server docs.

​
3. Add AI prompt rules

If you’re generating code that uses the official CoinGecko SDKs, drop our prompt rules into your CLAUDE.md so Claude Code follows the right patterns (auth, retries, error handling).

​
What to try next

Once everything’s wired up, try asking Claude Code:
“Using the CoinGecko MCP, show me the top 10 trending pools on Base in the last 5 minutes and export them to CSV.”
“Write a Python script using coingecko-sdk that tracks my portfolio and sends me a Slack alert if any coin moves more than 10% in an hour.”
