Connect Claude & ChatGPT to CoinGecko

Ask your AI what Bitcoin costs in euros, which coins are trending, or how a token has moved over the last 30 days. It reads CoinGecko's prices, market data, price charts and candles, exchanges and tickers, coin categories, NFT collections and on-chain DEX pools. You get market answers in plain language, and the AI only reads data.

Questions

What can the AI do in CoinGecko?

It can read coin prices and details, rankings, price history, OHLC candles, tickers, exchanges, coin categories, NFT collections, treasury holders, trending coins, on-chain token data and DEX pools. All the tools only read data, so nothing in your account is changed.

Does the AI see my CoinGecko API key?

No. You paste your CoinGecko API key into PipMCP once. It is encrypted at rest, never shown to the AI and never shown again after you save it. The AI only sees the results of the tools you have switched on.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, for example only prices and rankings. All CoinGecko tools in PipMCP are read-only. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT, open Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced, turn on Developer mode and add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan, and you do not need a credit card to start. Paid plans are billed per completed task. You connect with your own CoinGecko Demo API key, which you create with a free CoinGecko account.

How does the AI find the right coin?

CoinGecko identifies coins by an ID, for example bitcoin. The AI searches by name or symbol to find the ID first, then uses it for prices, charts and details. Tokens can also be looked up by contract address and network.
