Available tools 18

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

coin
coin_history
Historical price timeseries for a coin. (Current plan: up to 1825 days of history.)
get_coin
Full metadata for a coin: description, links, categories, market data, developer stats.
price
get_price
Current aggregated price for one or more symbols, computed from multiple exchange feeds.
get_price_by_symbol
Aggregated exchange price for one symbol, plus the raw per-provider prices that fed the aggregate. Use get_price for multiple symbols in one call.
rate
get_rate_by_symbol
Fetch all provider rates for a specific coin symbol. Optionally filter by category — pass category="lending"/"borrowing"/"staking" for yield questions, since unfiltered results mix in spot prices (category="price").
get_rate_history
Historical rate timeseries for a symbol. Recent history (~30 days) is per-tick; older history is daily granularity. Depth is clamped to your plan (up to 365 days on Pro) and bounded by how far back data has been recorded. (Current plan: up to 1825 days of history.)
resolve
resolve_symbol
Map an exchange-specific or ambiguous symbol to bitcompare's canonical coin id. Useful when an exchange uses a non-standard ticker.
resolve_symbols_batch
Resolve up to 100 symbols in a single request. Requires a plan with bulk endpoints enabled.
stablecoin
stablecoin_index
Ranked stablecoin leaderboard with stability scores, peg deviation, and market cap.
stablecoin_peg_stability
Peg deviation history and stability stats for a stablecoin.
top
top_coins
Top N coins ordered by market capitalisation.
top_movers
Biggest 24h gainers and losers within a rank segment.
coins
list_coins
Paginated list of coins with optional name/symbol search.
fear
fear_greed_index
Current Fear & Greed index value and historical trend.
market
market_summary
One-call summary of total market cap, 24h volume, BTC/ETH dominance, and recent trend.
providers
list_providers
All rate providers, optionally filtered by product category.
rates
get_rates
List current rates across providers, optionally filtered by symbol, category, or provider. For "what is the best yield on BTC right now?" style questions, ALWAYS pass category="lending"/"borrowing"/"staking" — an unfiltered call mostly returns spot prices (category="price"), not yields.
similar
similar_coins
Coins related to the given coin by category/sector similarity.

Bitcompare — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Bitcompare do?
It exposes 18 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: coin_history, fear_greed_index, get_coin, get_price, get_price_by_symbol, get_rate_by_symbol and 12 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is Bitcompare mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around price, resolve and rate. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Bitcompare working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 1639 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is Bitcompare still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect Bitcompare?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Bitcompare need an API key?
No. Bitcompare completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 18 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Bitcompare?
It answers our handshake in 1639 ms on average, which is faster than 1% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Bitcompare?
The npm package @bitcompare/mcp-server was installed 102 times in the last week. Week over week that is +76%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
