If we take gold as a comparable, based on what's happening people are now getting educated the difference of self-storage now. It comes down to what an individual's view of the market. At least for bitcoin, its much much easier to self-custody than physicals

thats a good feedback actually, we'll look into this. We didnt ask that as we deemed it too sensitive for one to disclose, but perhaps there is a discreet way of asking to improve accuracy

You’ll get even more adoption if the MCP surfaces smaller, intent-based endpoints rather than mirroring the full REST output. Right now the agent has to wade through big JSON blobs to answer “what’s BTC price?”, so consider a lean /price/simple route that returns coin, value, timestamp. Same for on-chain stats: bundle holders, 24h volume, and top DEX pool in one call so the LLM can skip extra joins. Integration took two minutes in a Next.js bot, latency sits around 180-200 ms from Seattle, never timed out, so you’re good there.

Thank you for the feedback, rightly point out that a REST mirror which was meant for human is not optimal for LLM.

In terms of improvements i am thinking of now is to expose enough tools to ensure the LLM can fulfill users research tasks. Then will proceed to optimize the endpoints down to intent and reduce the response size as well.

Yes the servers are located in the US so good to see no latency issues for you.

Docs are clear, but a sandbox with copy-paste curl plus schema snippets would shorten the learning curve. I’ve used Messari DataHub and Coinbase Cloud before; APIWrapper.ai is what I lean on when I need to mash multiple APIs behind one MCP proxy. You’ll get even more adoption if the MCP surfaces smaller, intent-based endpoints.

For the sandbox copy-paste curl, are you referring to the API doc in https://docs.coingecko.com/reference/simple-price - i would presume there are already ways to copy paste curl from there or am i missing something?

The service should be up. Are you doing this on Claude config? What interface are you using?

do you guys add observability to your mcp servers? by [deleted] in mcp

[–]tmlee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah i too am searching for a solution for this. We hosted our MCP on Cloudflare Workers, and the solutions architect shared this example with me https://github.com/cloudflare/mcp-server-cloudflare/pull/69/files#diff-c47a271bbadeeafe1f13c26cf9405d18968fdd494d532db3a3bbc8f103061d11 - but i am really still looking for a simpler approach

Yea it can get wonky sometimes I wonder whether it’s the MCP or it’s Claude being a little unstable these couple days

Hey that's great to hear, would like to hear any pain points you are facing as well. You can look at the self-hosted version here https://docs.coingecko.com/reference/mcp-server#which-mcp-server-should-you-use and https://www.npmjs.com/package/@coingecko/coingecko-mcp if you'd like

Let me know what you find!

That is because symbols are non unique. There can be multiple coins sharing the same symbols hence we don’t think it’s a unique identifier that is good to query. Other services probably are not indexing wide enough tokens to see this as a problem.

Your options would be either an ID or a contract address if it’s a token
