What is MCPServer + CoinGecko Wrapper?
This project consists of two main components: a PHP-based MCP server that receives and responds to MCP requests, and a Node.js/TypeScript-based wrapper for the CoinGecko API. The wrapper exposes cryptocurrency data, such as price and historical information, through an HTTP endpoint compatible with MCP.
How to use MCPServer + CoinGecko Wrapper?
First, install the dependencies for the CoinGecko wrapper using npm install and build it with npm run build. Then, serve the PHP mcpserver using a web server like XAMPP or Apache. Finally, configure an MCP-compatible agent (e.g., Claude) to send MCP requests to the webhook.php endpoint of the server, specifying coingecko as the tool_choice and providing the desired operation and parameters in the input field.
