On 2026-10-21 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 190 ms.
- Whether its tools do the product's job has not been judged yet.
- Checked on 2 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.
Once connected

- Parameters are untyped or undescribed in 16 of 26 tools: check arguments before calling.
Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

Worth a look
- Tools that change data, on a server that answers without a sign-in: create_free_api_key
A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (30%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%) and use (15%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

}
}
}Add it
Claude Code, in a terminal
claude mcp add --transport http cryptodataapi https://cryptodataapi.com/mcpclaude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://cryptodataapi.com/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
