HTTP API Key Modes
When using HTTP transport, the server supports two API key modes:
- With
--api-key: The key is used for all requests.x-api-keyrequest headers are ignored. - Without
--api-key: Each request must include anx-api-keyheader with a valid Crypto APIs key. This enables hosting a public server where each user provides their own key.
# Per-request key mode (multi-tenant)
npx @cryptoapis-io/mcp-blockchain-fees --transport http --port 3000
# Clients send x-api-key header with each request
Stdio transport always requires an API key at startup.
Important: API Key Required
Warning: Making requests without a valid API key — or with an incorrect one — may result in your IP being banned from the Crypto APIs ecosystem. Always ensure a valid API key is configured before starting any server.
Remote MCP Server
Crypto APIs provides an official remote MCP server with all tools available via HTTP Streamable transport at https://ai.cryptoapis.io/mcp. Pass your API key via the x-api-key header — no installation required.
