Cursor

Install the skill with the skills CLI so Cursor's agent knows how to use our data and workflows. See the Agent Skill page for what's inside.

npx skills add Crypto-Data-API/cryptodataapi-skills -g -y

Recommended — browser login. Add the cryptodataapi server to .cursor/mcp.json (create it if needed) with just its url and no headers. On the first tool call Cursor opens a browser, you sign in at cryptodataapi.com and click Authorize, and you're connected — no key pasted, nothing stored. New here? Signing in creates a free-tier account automatically.

Advanced — bring your own key. For headless setups or to pin a specific key, add an X-API-Key header (remote) or use the stdio bridge (key in a CRYPTODATA_API_KEY env var). Keep real keys out of a committed mcp.json — Cursor supports ${env:NAME} interpolation — and never paste a key into an AI chat; grab a free one at cryptodataapi.com/login.

Cursor picks it up automatically; check Settings → MCP to confirm the server is connected and its tools are enabled.

In Cursor's agent (Composer), ask for a market read — see the example prompts below. The agent will call the tools directly.
