resolveIdread-onlyResolve a fuzzy coin, exchange, person or tag name or symbol to a ranked list of candidate CoinPaprika ids, best first (take the top one). Call FIRST when you have a bare name or symbol but need an id, since ids are not derivable, then pass the id to getTickersById for price. Returns candidates with id, name, symbol, type and rank; an empty list means no match. Read-only. Params: type (required; o
priceConverterread-onlyConvert an amount from one crypto or fiat to another at the current rate, e.g. 'how much is 0.5 BTC in USD', 'convert 100 USDC to EUR'. For a plain coin price without an amount, use getTickersById. Read-only; baseCurrencyId and quoteCurrencyId are canonical ids and amount is the quantity to convert. No API key required.
getCapabilitiesread-onlyGet the server's capabilities, supported workflow patterns, validation rules and recommended tool sequences. Use FIRST to onboard as an agent, or when asked 'what can this server do', 'how should I chain these tools', 'what are the parameter rules'. This describes the MCP server itself, not crypto data.
submitFeedbackReport a problem or gap back to the CoinPaprika MCP maintainers: call it when you got stuck, a response was unexpected, information you needed was missing, or a tool did not behave as documented. Use when the user says 'this is wrong', 'report this', 'that did not work'. Low friction, partial feedback is welcome, and every submission is read.
