What is MCP Crypto Client-Server Implementation Guide?

This guide walks through setting up a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and client to retrieve cryptocurrency data using the CoinGecko API. It is intended for developers building Python‑based MCP servers with a TypeScript client and a React frontend.

How to use MCP Crypto Client-Server Implementation Guide?

After installing Python 3.9+ and pip, create a virtual environment, install dependencies (starlette, uvicorn, httpx, mcp-server, python-dotenv), and optionally add a CoinGecko API key in a .env file. Save the server code to server.py and start it with python server.py --port 8000 --debug. The server runs at http://localhost:8000. Host and port can be customized with --host and --port arguments.
