Prices and market data

For spot prices, market caps, historical charts and token metadata across thousands of coins, a market-data server such as CoinGecko's official one is the broadest fit. CoinLobster streams whale trades and derivatives, not a price catalogue.

Wallet identity

To find who is behind an address or trace token holders, use an on-chain intelligence server. CoinLobster follows on-chain and Hyperliquid wallets by address but does not label them to real-world entities.

Live whale trades and order flow

What CoinLobster is built for: executed whale trades across 18 exchanges, on-chain and Hyperliquid, plus a combined order book, funding, open interest, liquidations and a scored signal record. Keyless to start.

How to decide

Prices and metadata: a market-data server. Wallet identity: an on-chain intelligence server. What big money trades now, and what followed past signals: CoinLobster. Many agents use more than one.

Common questions

What is an MCP server?

A set of tools an AI agent calls over the Model Context Protocol, so the model pulls live data instead of guessing from training data.

Can I use several at once?

Yes. An agent can load a market-data server, an on-chain server and CoinLobster together and pick a tool per question.

Is CoinLobster's server free?

https://coinlobster.com/mcp is keyless with a rate limit. A free key raises it; Pro unlocks the full data.
