Bitcoin Price Skill

Get Current Bitcoin Price

OperationalCredits 2 per callp50 210msFinance

Overview

A Bitcoin API for apps that need the BTC price as JSON. Bitcoin Price works by fetching the latest market data for Bitcoin from multiple reliable sources. It returns the current price and its movement direction; paid plans add market capitalization, 24-hour trading volume, 24-hour percentage change, and quotes in any supported currency. Paid plans also get 1-hour, 7-day, 30-day and 1-year changes, market-cap rank, circulating and maximum supply, fully diluted valuation, and the all-time high and low with their dates and the distance from the high. The data is refreshed hourly. The last 30 daily closes are stored too: paid plans get the 30-day high, low, average and volatility, and daily=true returns the closes themselves, each converted at that day's exchange rate.

The tool

Once your client is connected to the VerveKit server, this appears in its tool list as BitcoinPriceSkill. It is read-only and open-world — it fetches and never mutates anything on your side — so most clients call it without asking you to confirm.

Tool call
{
  "name": "BitcoinPriceSkill",
  "arguments": {}
}

Connecting

One server URL covers every skill in the catalog, including this one. Authorization is OAuth: the client opens a browser once, and there is no key to paste into a config file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vervekit": {
      "url": "https://api.vervekit.com/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Per-client setup — Claude, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT — is on the MCP setup page.

Arguments

These are the properties on the tool's inputSchema, so a well-behaved client validates them before the call is made. Premium arguments are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.

ArgumentTypeDescription
currencyOptionalPremiumstringThe currency to get the price in
default USD
hourlyOptionalPremiumbooleanInclude hourly price data for the past 24 hours
dailyOptionalPremiumbooleanInclude the daily closing price, market cap and volume for the last 30 days

What the model gets back

The result carries a structuredContent object matching the tool's declared outputSchema, so a client reads fields without parsing prose. status is "ok" and error is null on success; a null field means the value was not available for that input, not that the call failed.

Failure modes

Errors come back as tool errors carrying a sentence the model can act on, not a bare status code. Error handling covers the full list.

StatusWhat it means
400 / 422The arguments did not validate. The message names the offending one.
401The OAuth session is invalid or expired — reconnect the server.
403Blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Never a bad identity.
404This skill is not part of VerveKit. Check the catalog.
429Out of credits, or a brief rate limit. The message tells them apart.

A call costs 2 credits each time the tool actually runs; a model that reasons about the tool without calling it costs nothing.
