Target Reference Server
Cryptocompare Overview
Cryptocompare exposes CoinDesk Data, formerly CryptoCompare/CCData, through MCP tools for prices, OHLC history, market rankings, news, social statistics, coins, and exchanges. It can run as a local stdio package or through the Pipeworx gateway, where the scoped endpoint also includes gateway meta-tools. Every data call requires a CoinDesk Data API key passed as `_apiKey`; Pipeworx does not provide a shared key. Reach for it when an agent needs historical market data or CryptoCompare-compatible reference data rather than only current prices.
Primary Use Cases for Cryptocompare:
- Query current prices across coins and fiat currencies
- Retrieve minute, hourly, or daily OHLC history
- Rank assets by trading volume or market capitalization
- Collect crypto news and social statistics
