The CoinGecko MCP (Model-Context Protocol) Hackathon brought together a global community of builders to redefine how AI interacts with real-time crypto market data. From July 15 to August 15, 2025, developers leveraged the CoinGecko MCP to create innovative projects. The innovation on display was inspiring, with projects ranging from AI-powered market analysts to voice-activated crypto market intelligence. Each submission demonstrated the core purpose of the CoinGecko MCP: to enable AI agents and large language models (LLMs) to access and utilize our reliable, real-time crypto market data.

After evaluating each project’s innovation, usefulness, and community engagement, we’re excited to announce the 10 winning projects.

Hackathon Judging Criteria

Projects were judged on three core criteria:

• Innovation: We sought out the most original ideas that explored new applications of AI and crypto data.

• Usefulness: We looked for projects that solved real problems for crypto users.

• Community Love: Community voting played a crucial role, showcasing the projects that resonated most with the wider crypto community.

Each of the 10 winners received a prize package valued at over $1,300, which included a 1-year complimentary CoinGecko Analyst API key and 30 million Claude AI tokens.
