# CoinDesk — AI Connector CoinDesk publishes 24 MCP tools to Claude. Marketplace availability, tool surface, verification tier, and what Node8 measured against the live endpoint. Source: https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/finance/coindesk/ --- [AI Connectors](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/) · [Finance](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/finance/) # CoinDesk Crypto spot, futures and options data with regulated indices Listed in Claude · 24 published tools · Verified partner [Claude connector docs](https://mcp.coindesk.com/) [coindesk.com](https://www.coindesk.com/) Overview ## What CoinDesk does CoinDesk supplies digital asset market data, and this connector covers both the live and historical ends of it. Regulated indices and benchmarks sit alongside raw market data: spot prices, futures and options across exchanges. The deeper fields are what separate this from a price lookup. Funding rates, open interest, orderbook depth and trade history are the inputs to positioning and liquidity questions, not to a quote. Data is described as sourced across exchanges rather than from a single venue. This connector carries the partner tier, meaning it passed a review step, and CoinDesk publishes documentation. ### Who it is for Traders, analysts and researchers working across digital asset markets. ### Tool surface Credentials are required first, so twenty-four is the publisher's figure. The listing spans indices and benchmarks, spot prices, futures and options, funding rates, open interest, orderbook depth and trade history. Availability ## Where CoinDesk is listed CoinDesk is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. CoinDesk has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them. The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one. Claude listing ## In the Claude connectors directory CoinDesk publishes 24 tools to Claude, deeper than 75.5% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors. The median Claude-listed connector filed under Finance publishes 12, so this one runs 12 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 38th of 159 by tool count. It falls in the 21-50 tools band, which holds 20% of the Claude directory. CoinDesk publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally. Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there. Publisher CoinDesk Verification Verified partner (37.8% of the Claude directory) Filed under Financial Services Endpoint `https://mcp.coindesk.com/mcp` Documentation [Publisher setup docs](https://mcp.coindesk.com/) Published tools 24 · 21-50 tools band Depth rank in Finance 38 of 159 Snapshot August 2026 CoinDesk carries partner verification in the Claude directory, which 474 of 1,253 listings do (37.8%). That is a review step past self-publishing, not an Anthropic-built server. In the publisher's words ## How CoinDesk describes it > The CoinDesk Data & Indices Connector provides real-time and historical digital asset market data powered by institutional-grade infrastructure.
