What is the CoinPaprika Claude Code plugin?

The CoinPaprika plugin is a native Claude Code plugin that gives you instant access to real-time cryptocurrency market data — prices, volumes, market caps, exchange data, historical OHLCV, and more — covering 12,000+ coins and 350+ exchanges.
Two commands. Zero configuration. The plugin bundles a built-in MCP server, so no separate MCP setup is needed.

Start querying

That’s it. No config files, no environment setup, no API keys needed for the free tier. Ask Claude about crypto data and it uses the plugin automatically.

Plugin vs MCP server vs skills

If you use Claude Code, the plugin is the easiest path — it bundles everything. For Claude Desktop or Cursor, use the hosted MCP server instead.

​
Integration with DexPaprika

The same marketplace also hosts the DexPaprika plugin for on-chain DEX data. Install both for complete crypto coverage:
  • CoinPaprika — CEX data: 12,000+ coins, 350+ exchanges, market caps, OHLCV
  • DexPaprika — DEX data: 36 blockchains, 36M+ pools, on-chain token prices, streaming

​
Troubleshooting

  1. Run /plugin marketplace update coinpaprika/claude-marketplace
  2. Restart Claude Code
  3. Run /plugin install coinpaprika again
Be specific: “Using CoinPaprika, show me…” or phrase questions about coins, prices, and exchanges. Claude automatically recognizes plugin-relevant queries, but explicit mentions help.
Make sure you’re running commands inside Claude Code (not a regular terminal). Check that you’re using the correct syntax: /plugin install coinpaprika.
Check that the coin ID format is correct (btc-bitcoin, not bitcoin or BTC). Use “search for [coin name]” to find the right ID. For free tier limitations (2,000 assets), some smaller coins may not be available.

FAQs

Not for the free tier. The plugin uses the free CoinPaprika API (20,000 calls/month, 2,000 assets) by default. No key, no registration.
The plugin is Claude Code only. For Cursor or Claude Desktop, use the hosted MCP server instead — same data, different integration method.
The plugin bundles the MCP server plus extras (agents, skills). If you use Claude Code, the plugin is the easiest path. The standalone MCP server works with more tools (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code).
Yes. Install both from the same marketplace. CoinPaprika covers centralized exchange data; DexPaprika covers on-chain DEX data.
