CoinDesk Data (formerly CryptoCompare / CCData) MCP — crypto prices, OHLC history, social stats, news.

The vendor renamed twice: developers.ccdata.io 301s to developers.coindesk.com, and min-api’s own 401 body points callers there. The legacy data host min-api.cryptocompare.com still serves and is what this pack calls; data-api.coindesk.com is the current host.

BYOK-only since 2026-09-30 (fleet #2444). The shared platform key was permanently over quota — every tool authenticated but returned the vendor body "You are over your rate limit please upgrade your account!" (472 calls/30d, all soft-failing). Bruce ruled byok: bring your own CoinDesk Data key. platformKeyEnv was removed from the gateway manifest, so Pipeworx no longer fronts any key for this pack — every tool requires _apiKey and refuses cleanly ({found:false, reason:"missing_api_key", …}) without one. No plan or quota is quoted here because CoinDesk Data’s pricing page no longer publishes one without an account — see https://developers.coindesk.com/pricing/.

Without your own key, use the crypto pack (get_crypto_price) for current prices and daily history, or crypto-feeds for crypto news.
