CoinGlass API MCP Server

The CoinGlass API Model Context Protocol (MCP) server allows AI-powered tools such as Cursor, Windsurf, and Claude Desktop to interact directly with the CoinGlass API and its documentation.

With MCP, AI assistants can automatically discover CoinGlass API endpoints, understand request parameters, and generate integration code.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI tools to connect directly to APIs, documentation, and external services.

Using MCP, AI tools can:

Discover API endpoints automatically
Understand request parameters and response schemas
Generate working code examples
Execute API requests when authenticated

CoinGlass MCP Server

CoinGlass provides a hosted MCP server at:

https://docs.coinglass.com/mcp

AI tools can connect to this server to access the CoinGlass API documentation and OpenAPI specification.

If your API requests require authentication, include your CoinGlass API key in the MCP configuration headers.

Configure MCP

Add the following configuration to:

~/.cursor/mcp.json

or project-level:

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coinglass-api": {
      "url": "https://docs.coinglass.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "CG-API-KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Testing Your MCP Connection

After configuration:

Restart your AI editor (Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop).
Start a new chat with the AI assistant.
Ask questions about the CoinGlass API.

Example prompts:

Get BTC funding rate using CoinGlass API

Show me a Python example calling the CoinGlass funding rate API

List available CoinGlass futures data endpoints

The AI assistant will automatically read the CoinGlass API documentation through MCP and generate accurate code examples.

Security Notes

Never expose your API key in public repositories.

Always store your API keys securely and avoid committing configuration files containing secrets.
