Remote Server (Public, Keyless)

The easiest way to get started. Just add the following to your client's mcp_config.json file.

Client-Specific Config

The file name and location depend on your client. Find your config file here: modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart

Add the following configuration to your mcp_config.json:

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