Limitations

This tool uses the free CoinGecko API, which has rate limits, and frequent requests may be throttled by the API. If the MCP server does not work in Claude Desktop, you can check whether the server is running, whether the configuration path is correct and is an absolute path, whether Python 3.10+ is in the system PATH, whether the dependencies are installed, try restarting Claude Desktop, and check the log error messages.
