spring-bitcoin-mcp-server

The Bitcoin MCP Server is designed to provide real-time Bitcoin price information using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It facilitates communication between a client and server through standard input/output (STDIO), eliminating the need for network ports. The server is built using Maven, which packages the application into a JAR file. A test client, ClientSTDIO, is included to demonstrate how to connect and interact with the server. The client requires the server JAR file to be accessible, as it uses a subprocess mechanism to start the server. Configuration of the JAR file path can be done via system properties, environment variables, or default paths. The client can list available tools and retrieve Bitcoin prices in specified currencies.

Features

• Real-time Bitcoin price information
