Ethereum Price Grounding Data

Get Current Ethereum Price

OperationalCredits 2 per callp50 206msFinance

Overview

Ethereum Price works by fetching the latest market data for Ethereum from multiple reliable sources. It returns the current price and movement direction, and paid plans add market capitalization, 24-hour trading volume, and 24-hour percentage change. 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 and, on paid plans, can be returned in any supported currency. 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 VerveContext server, this appears in its tool list as EthereumPriceGroundingData. 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": "EthereumPriceGroundingData",
  "arguments": {}
}

Connecting

One server URL covers every source 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": {
    "vervecontext": {
      "url": "https://api.vervecontext.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.

Why ground on it

A model can produce something that looks like this answer from its training data, and be confidently out of date or simply wrong. This source returns the current value in a shape you can check, which is the difference between an answer you can cite and one you have to hedge.

Point an evaluation at price: it is the field most worth pinning a claim to, and it is either present and current or absent — never plausibly invented.

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 source is not part of VerveContext. 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.

Use cases

NFT Mint Quoting
When collectors initiate an NFT purchase, minting engines pull the latest ETH rate to display fiat-equivalent costs before transaction confirmation.
DeFi Collateral Monitoring
Lending protocols evaluate borrower health against liquidation thresholds by verifying real-time price changes and movement direction across active loan positions.
Web3 Paywall Processing
Digital media paywalls compute the exact fractional ETH owed for access passes using real-time price quotes during checkout.
Smart Contract Escrow
To safeguard milestone payouts, freelance escrow platforms record the ETH price and movement direction when an agreement begins.
