What it does

Coinpaprika API is an agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude. Access cryptocurrency market data from CoinPaprika: prices, tickers, OHLCV, exchanges, contract lookups for 12,000+ coins and 350+ exchanges. Free tier, no API key needed. Install MCP: add https://mcp.coinpaprika.com/sse as SSE server, or install plugin: /plugin marketplace add coinpaprika/claude-marketplace

Its SKILL.md is about 520 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Stock and market analysis, Crypto and DeFi analysis and MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: A single hub to find Claude Skills, Agents, Commands, Hooks, Plugins, and Marketplace collections to extend Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Agent SDK and OpenClaw. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Stock and market analysis
  • Tasks that involve Crypto and DeFi analysis
  • Tasks that involve MCP servers

Example prompts

  • “/coinpaprika-api”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 616deb5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • mcp.coinpaprika.com

    Also links to:

    • docs.coinpaprika.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Coinpaprika API loads about 524 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 153 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~524

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
