MCP Tool Catalog
All 18 tools the Bitcompare MCP server exposes. Each tool maps 1:1 to a REST endpoint and respects the same plan limits, errors, and rate limiting.
This is the human-readable catalog. The machine-readable version with full JSON-Schema typing is at api.bitcompare.net/mcp/tools.json — use that when generating client code or registering with an MCP registry.
