Cursor

Connect CoinGecko to Cursor — MCP server and SDK prompts in one place

Cursor is an AI-first code editor with built-in chat and agent mode. The integrations below are complementary — use any combination.

Setup

1. Add CoinGecko API MCP

   Connects Cursor to live CoinGecko data — prices, market caps, onchain pools, OHLCV, NFTs, and more.

   Open Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server, or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json directly:

   Free (Keyless)

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "coingecko": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": [
           "mcp-remote",
           "https://mcp.api.coingecko.com/mcp"
         ]
       }
     }
   }
   

   Restart Cursor after saving. coingecko appears under Available Tools in the chat sidebar.

2. Add Docs MCP

   Lets Cursor search CoinGecko documentation directly — endpoint references, guides, and tutorials.

   Add to the same mcp.json:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "coingecko-docs": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": [
           "mcp-remote",
           "https://docs.coingecko.com/mcp"
         ]
       }
     }
   }

SDK Prompts

Copy the prompt into .cursor/rules/coingecko-sdk.mdc so every generation follows the right SDK patterns.

Set alwaysApply: true in the rule file frontmatter so it’s loaded on every request.

Python

Prompt for integrating CoinGecko Python SDK

CopiedCopy prompt

TypeScript

Prompt for integrating CoinGecko TypeScript SDK

CopiedCopy prompt

Try It Out

Try prompting Cursor’s agent mode with:

• “Using the CoinGecko MCP tool, fetch the current BTC and ETH prices and build a React widget that displays them.”
• “Write a TypeScript script that pulls the top 50 coins by market cap and exports them to a CSV.”
