coinmarketcap-mcp-skill

coinmarketcap-mcp-skill is a skill for Codex from holon-run/uxc. It costs 52 tokens per session (1,153 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A helper for CoinMarketCap's MCP service, a tool interface for cryptocurrency data and research. It can access selected market, technical, on-chain, news, macro-event, narrative, and search information using an API key.

In plain words
What is it for?
Retrieve crypto quotes, technical analysis, on-chain metrics, market overviews, narratives, macro events, news, and results from semantic searches.
Why use it?
It lets a coding agent discover and call CoinMarketCap research functions through a consistent interface instead of manually integrating each request. The available operations are checked before use.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

coinmarketcap-mcp-skill scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CoinMarketCap MCP Skill

Use this skill to run CoinMarketCap MCP operations through uxc.

Reuse the uxc skill for shared protocol discovery, output parsing, and generic auth/binding flows.

Prerequisites

  • uxc is installed and available in PATH.
  • Network access to https://mcp.coinmarketcap.com/mcp.
  • A CoinMarketCap MCP API key is available.

Core Workflow

  1. Confirm endpoint and protocol with help-first probing:
    • uxc https://mcp.coinmarketcap.com/mcp -h
    • expected unauthenticated behavior today: 401 Unauthorized with Token not found
  2. Configure credential/binding for repeatable auth:
    • uxc auth credential set coinmarketcap-mcp --auth-type api_key --header "X-CMC-MCP-API-KEY={{secret}}" --secret-env COINMARKETCAP_MCP_API_KEY
    • uxc auth credential set coinmarketcap-mcp --auth-type api_key --header "X-CMC-MCP-API-KEY={{secret}}" --secret-op op://Engineering/coinmarketcap/mcp-api-key
    • uxc auth binding add --id coinmarketcap-mcp --host mcp.coinmarketcap.com --path-prefix /mcp --scheme https --credential coinmarketcap-mcp --priority 100
  3. Use fixed link command by default:
    • command -v coinmarketcap-mcp-cli
    • If missing, create it: uxc link coinmarketcap-mcp-cli https://mcp.coinmarketcap.com/mcp
    • coinmarketcap-mcp-cli -h
  4. Inspect operation schema before execution:
    • coinmarketcap-mcp-cli get_crypto_quotes_latest -h
    • coinmarketcap-mcp-cli get_global_metrics_latest -h
    • coinmarketcap-mcp-cli trending_crypto_narratives -h
    • coinmarketcap-mcp-cli get_crypto_latest_news -h
  5. Prefer read-only discovery first, then expand into higher-cost or plan-gated endpoints.

Capability Map

  • Market data and discovery:
    • get_crypto_quotes_latest
    • search_cryptos
    • get_crypto_info
  • Technical analysis:
    • get_crypto_technical_analysis
    • get_crypto_marketcap_technical_analysis
  • On-chain and macro metrics:
    • get_crypto_metrics
    • get_global_metrics_latest
    • get_global_crypto_derivatives_metrics
    • get_upcoming_macro_events
  • Themes, news, and search:
    • trending_crypto_narratives
    • get_crypto_latest_news
    • search_crypto_info

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
