Crypto Data API for AI Agents: every way to get access (2026)

Set up Crypto Data API (cryptodataapi.com) for me in Claude Desktop. This is my first time using it.
If you can run commands or edit files yourself, do each step. Otherwise walk me through them one at a time and wait for me to confirm each one.

Step 1: Install the Agent Skill (zip)
Download dist/cryptodataapi-skill.zip from the skills repo, then in Claude Desktop open Settings → Capabilities and upload it. Claude will consult the skill automatically on crypto-data tasks. See the Agent Skill page for what's inside.
Skills repo: https://github.com/Crypto-Data-API/cryptodataapi-skills

Step 2: Connect the MCP server
Recommended — browser login (no key) (in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json  ·  %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json):
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cryptodataapi": {
      "url": "https://cryptodataapi.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Sign in
Use the browser login if this client supports it: on the first tool call a browser opens, I sign in at cryptodataapi.com and click Authorize, which also creates my free account. If an API key is needed instead, call the create_free_api_key tool (or POST https://cryptodataapi.com/api/v1/auth/keys with {"email": "<my email>"}) and tell me where to store it: the CRYPTODATA_API_KEY environment variable or the config file above. Never ask me to paste a key into this chat.

Step 4: Check it works
Call list_capabilities, then get_daily_snapshot, and give me a five-line market brief: the market regime, BTC funding, 24h liquidations, Fear & Greed and anything unusual. Then tell me which tools need a Pro key.
