Usage

Integrating with Claude Desktop

  1. Configure Claude Desktop:

    • Edit the configuration file:

      • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
      • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
    • Add the server configuration:

      json
      {
        "mcpServers": {
          "crypto-trending": {
            "command": "uv",
            "args": [
              "--directory",
              "/absolute/path/to/crypto-trending-mcp",
              "run",
              "main.py"
            ]
          }
        }
      }

    • Ask natural language questions like:
      • "What are the trending cryptocurrencies with positive 24h price changes?"
      • "Show the top 3 trending coins by market cap."
    • Claude will use the get_trending_md_doc tool and parse_trending_md_doc prompt to fetch and analyze the data.
