By the end, you'll have a working Coinmarketcap agent that can show top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap, fetch latest bitcoin and ethereum prices, list all exchanges with highest daily volume through natural language commands. This guide will help you understand how to give your AutoGen agent real control over a Coinmarketcap account through Composio's Coinmarketcap MCP server. Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved. ## Also integrate Coinmarketcap with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR Here's what you'll learn: - Get and set up your OpenAI and Composio API keys - Install the required dependencies for Autogen and Composio - Initialize Composio and create a Tool Router session for Coinmarketcap - Wire that MCP URL into Autogen using McpWorkbench and StreamableHttpServerParams - Configure an Autogen AssistantAgent that can call Coinmarketcap tools - Run a live chat loop where you ask the agent to perform Coinmarketcap operations ## What is AutoGen? Autogen is a framework for building multi-agent conversational AI systems from Microsoft. It enables you to create agents that can collaborate, use tools, and maintain complex workflows. Key features include: - Multi-Agent Systems: Build collaborative agent workflows - MCP Workbench: Native support for Model Context Protocol tools - Streaming HTTP: Connect to external services through streamable HTTP - AssistantAgent: Pre-built agent class for tool-using assistants ## What is the Coinmarketcap MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Coinmarketcap MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Coinmarketcap account. It provides structured and secure access to live and historical cryptocurrency market data, so your agent can perform actions like fetching crypto prices, mapping coins and exchanges, analyzing global trends, and retrieving detailed asset info on your behalf. - Real-time cryptocurrency price tracking: Instantly get the latest market quotes for any supported cryptocurrency, including price, volume, and market cap. - Comprehensive asset and exchange mapping: Retrieve and reference unique IDs, symbols, and names for all cryptocurrencies and exchanges to power portfolio and trading automations. - Historical listings and data analysis: Access historical exchange listings and past market snapshots to inform investment research or backtesting strategies. - Global market metrics aggregation: Let your agent pull up-to-date, aggregated market data like total market cap, trading volume, and dominance statistics for macro analysis. - Detailed asset and exchange metadata retrieval: Fetch rich metadata, including logos, descriptions, launch dates, and official links for any crypto asset or exchange—perfect for building dashboards or research tools. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `COINMARKETCAP_CRYPTOCURRENCY_LISTINGS_LATEST` | Cryptocurrency Listings Latest | Fetch the latest cryptocurrency market listings from CoinMarketCap. Returns a ranked list of active cryptocurrencies with real-time price, market cap, 24h volume, and percent changes. By default returns top 100 by market cap. Common use cases: - Get top cryptocurrencies: No params needed (defaults to top 100 by market cap) - Find DeFi tokens: tag="defi" - Get high volume assets: volume_24h_min=1000000000 - Find cheap small caps: price_max=1, market_cap_max=10000000 - Get biggest gainers: sort="percent_change_24h", sort_dir="desc" - Pagination: Use start and limit (e.g., start=101, limit=100 for page 2) | | `COINMARKETCAP_CRYPTOCURRENCY_MAP` | Cryptocurrency Map | Tool to retrieve a mapping of all cryptocurrencies, including their unique IDs, symbols, and names. Use when you need reference IDs for crypto assets. Response results are nested under a `data` key. | | `COINMARKETCAP_CRYPTOCURRENCY_QUOTES_LATEST` | Get Latest Cryptocurrency Quotes | Tool to get the latest aggregated global market quotes for one or more cryptocurrencies. Exactly one of id, symbol, or slug must be provided; combining multiple identifier types or omitting all causes an error. Response is nested under data → SYMBOL (or ID) → quote → TARGET_CURRENCY for fields like price and last_updated. | | `COINMARKETCAP_GET_CRYPTOCURRENCY_INFO` | Get cryptocurrency info | Tool to fetch metadata (description, logo, URLs) for one or more cryptocurrencies.

Use when you need exchange logos, supported fiats, launch dates, and official links. | | `COINMARKETCAP_GET_KEY_INFO` | Get API Key Info | Tool to retrieve your CoinMarketCap API key details, rate limits, and usage statistics. Use after setting your API key to inspect limits and usage. | | `COINMARKETCAP_GLOBAL_METRICS_QUOTES_LATEST` | Global Metrics Quotes Latest | Tool to obtain the latest global cryptocurrency market metrics (market cap, volume, dominance). Use when you need aggregated market-level data for analysis. | | `COINMARKETCAP_PARTNER_MAP` | Partner Map | Tool to retrieve a mapping of all CoinMarketCap partners with their unique IDs, names, and slugs. Use when you need to map partner names or slugs to numeric IDs. | | `COINMARKETCAP_TOOLS_PRICE_CONVERSION` | Price Conversion | Tool to convert an amount from one cryptocurrency or fiat currency into another. Either `id` or `symbol` must be provided as the source currency identifier. Use when conversion rates are needed. Unsupported currency symbols or IDs will cause validation errors. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Coinmarketcap MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agents and assistants directly to Coinmarketcap. Instead of manually wiring Coinmarketcap APIs, OAuth, and scopes yourself, you get a structured, tool-based interface that an LLM can call safely. With Composio's managed implementation, you don't have to create your own developer app. For production, if you're building an end product, we recommend using your own credentials. The managed server helps you prototype fast and go from 0-1 faster. ## Step-by-step Guide ### 1. Prerequisites You will need: - A Composio API key - An OpenAI API key (used by Autogen's OpenAIChatCompletionClient) - A Coinmarketcap account you can connect to Composio - Some basic familiarity with Autogen and Python async ### 1. Getting API Keys for OpenAI and Composio OpenAI API Key - Go to the [OpenAI dashboard](https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/api-keys) and create an API key. You'll need credits to use the models, or you can connect to another model provider. - Keep the API key safe. Composio API Key - Log in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_docs). - Navigate to your API settings and generate a new API key. - Store this key securely as you'll need it for authentication. ### 2. Install dependencies Install Composio, Autogen extensions, and dotenv. What's happening: - composio connects your agent to Coinmarketcap via MCP - autogen-agentchat provides the AssistantAgent class - autogen-ext-openai provides the OpenAI model client - autogen-ext-tools provides MCP workbench support ```bash pip install composio python-dotenv pip install autogen-agentchat autogen-ext-openai autogen-ext-tools ``` ### 3. Set up environment variables Create a .env file in your project folder. What's happening: - COMPOSIO_API_KEY is required to talk to Composio - OPENAI_API_KEY is used by Autogen's OpenAI client - USER_ID is how Composio identifies which user's Coinmarketcap connections to use ```bash COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your-composio-api-key OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key USER_ID=your-user-identifier@example.com ``` ### 4. Import dependencies and create Tool Router session What's happening: - load_dotenv() reads your .env file - Composio(api_key=...) initializes the SDK - create(...) creates a Tool Router session that exposes Coinmarketcap tools - session.mcp.url is the MCP endpoint that Autogen will connect to ```python import asyncio import os from dotenv import load_dotenv from composio import Composio from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, StreamableHttpServerParams load_dotenv() async def main(): # Initialize Composio and create a Coinmarketcap session composio = Composio(api_key=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")) session = composio.create( user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"), toolkits=["coinmarketcap"] ) url = session.mcp.url ``` ### 5. Configure MCP parameters for Autogen Autogen expects parameters describing how to talk to the MCP server. That is what StreamableHttpServerParams is for. What's happening: - url points to the Tool Router MCP endpoint from Composio - timeout is the HTTP timeout for requests - sse_read_timeout controls how long to wait when streaming responses - terminate_on_close=True cleans up the MCP server process when the workbench is closed ```python # Configure MCP server parameters for Streamable HTTP server_params = StreamableHttpServerParams( url=url, timeout=30.0, sse_read_timeout=300.0, terminate_on_close=True, headers={"x-api-key": os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")} ) ``` ### 6. Create the model client and agent What's happening: - OpenAIChatCompletionClient wraps the OpenAI model for Autogen - McpWorkbench connects the agent to the MCP tools - AssistantAgent is configured with the Coinmarketcap tools from the workbench ```python # Create model client model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient( model="gpt-5", api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") ) # Use McpWorkbench as context manager async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench: # Create Coinmarketcap assistant agent with MCP tools agent = AssistantAgent( name="coinmarketcap_assistant", description="An AI assistant that helps with Coinmarketcap operations.", model_client=model_client, workbench=workbench, model_client_stream=True, max_tool_iterations=10 ) ``` ### 7. Run the interactive chat loop What's happening: - The script prompts you in a loop with You: - Autogen passes your input to the model, which decides which Coinmarketcap tools to call via MCP - agent.run_stream(...) yields streaming messages as the agent thinks and calls tools - Typing exit, quit, or bye ends the loop ```python print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end the conversation.\n") print("Ask any Coinmarketcap related question or task to the agent.\n") # Conversation loop while True: user_input = input("You: ").strip() if user_input.lower() in ["exit", "quit", "bye"]: print("\nGoodbye!") break if not user_input: continue print("\nAgent is thinking...\n") # Run the agent with streaming try: response_text = "" async for message in agent.run_stream(task=user_input): if hasattr(message, "content") and message.content: response_text = message.content # Print the final response if response_text: print(f"Agent: {response_text}\n") else: print("Agent: I encountered an issue processing your request.\n") except Exception as e: print(f"Agent: Sorry, I encountered an error: {str(e)}\n") ``` ## Complete Code ```python import asyncio import os from dotenv import load_dotenv from composio import Composio from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, StreamableHttpServerParams load_dotenv() async def main(): # Initialize Composio and create a Coinmarketcap session composio = Composio(api_key=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")) session = composio.create( user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"), toolkits=["coinmarketcap"] ) url = session.mcp.url # Configure MCP server parameters for Streamable HTTP server_params = StreamableHttpServerParams( url=url, timeout=30.0, sse_read_timeout=300.0, terminate_on_close=True, headers={"x-api-key": os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")} ) # Create model client model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient( model="gpt-5", api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") ) # Use McpWorkbench as context manager async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench: # Create Coinmarketcap assistant agent with MCP tools agent = AssistantAgent( name="coinmarketcap_assistant", description="An AI assistant that helps with Coinmarketcap operations.", model_client=model_client, workbench=workbench, model_client_stream=True, max_tool_iterations=10 ) print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end the conversation.\n") print("Ask any Coinmarketcap related question or task to the agent.\n") # Conversation loop while True: user_input = input("You: ").strip() if user_input.lower() in ['exit', 'quit', 'bye']: print("\nGoodbye!") break if not user_input: continue print("\nAgent is thinking...\n") # Run the agent with streaming try: response_text = "" async for message in agent.run_stream(task=user_input): if hasattr(message, 'content') and message.content: response_text = message.content # Print the final response if response_text: print(f"Agent: {response_text}\n") else: print("Agent: I encountered an issue processing your request.\n") except Exception as e: print(f"Agent: Sorry, I encountered an error: {str(e)}\n") if __name__ == "__main__": asyncio.run(main()) ``` ## Conclusion You now have an Autogen assistant wired into Coinmarketcap through Composio's Tool Router and MCP. From here you can: - Add more toolkits to the toolkits list, for example notion or hubspot - Refine the agent description to point it at specific workflows - Wrap this script behind a UI, Slack bot, or internal tool Once the pattern is clear for Coinmarketcap, you can reuse the same structure for other MCP-enabled apps with minimal code changes. ## How to build Coinmarketcap MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/coinmarketcap/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Excel](https://composio.dev/toolkits/excel) - Microsoft Excel is a robust spreadsheet application for organizing, analyzing, and visualizing data.

With a standalone Coinmarketcap MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Coinmarketcap tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Coinmarketcap and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Autogen? Yes, you can. Autogen fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Coinmarketcap tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Coinmarketcap while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Coinmarketcap scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Coinmarketcap data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
