📌Overview

Purpose: To provide a powerful server that facilitates interaction with the Ethereum blockchain via Etherscan's API, enabling users to access vital blockchain data.

Overview: The MCP Etherscan Server implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to offer various tools for retrieving Ethereum blockchain data seamlessly through a user-friendly API interface. It is designed to support web developers and enthusiasts in managing blockchain data efficiently.

Key Features:

• Balance Checking: Allows users to obtain the ETH balance for any Ethereum address, providing necessary financial insights.

• Transaction History: Enables users to view recent transactions, complete with detailed information such as timestamps and values, aiding in data transparency.

• Token Transfers: Tracks ERC20 token transfers, offering detailed token information, which is essential for monitoring asset movements.

• Contract ABI: Facilitates the fetching of smart contract ABIs, aiding developers in their Ethereum application development processes.

• Gas Prices: Monitors current gas prices across various transaction speeds (Safe Low, Standard, Fast), helping users make informed decisions on transaction timings.

• ENS Resolution: Resolves Ethereum addresses to their corresponding ENS names, enhancing usability and user experience in blockchain interactions.

MCP Etherscan Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides Ethereum blockchain data tools via Etherscan's API. Features include checking ETH balances, viewing transaction history, tracking ERC20 transfers, fetching contract ABIs, monitoring gas prices, and resolving ENS names.

Features

• Balance Checking: Get ETH balance for any Ethereum address
• Transaction History: View recent transactions with detailed information
• Token Transfers: Track ERC20 token transfers with token details
• Contract ABI: Fetch smart contract ABIs for development
• Gas Prices: Monitor current gas prices (Safe Low, Standard, Fast)
• ENS Resolution: Resolve Ethereum addresses to ENS names

Prerequisites

• Node.js >= 18
• An Etherscan API key (get one at https://etherscan.io/apis)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone [your-repo-url]
cd mcp-etherscan-server

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Create a .env file in the root directory:

ETHERSCAN_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

4. Build the project:

npm run build

Running the Server

Start the server:

npm start

The server runs on stdio, making it compatible with MCP clients like Claude Desktop.

How It Works

This server implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to provide tools for interacting with Ethereum blockchain data through Etherscan's API. Each tool is exposed as an MCP endpoint.

Available Tools

1. check-balance

   • Input: Ethereum address
   • Output: ETH balance in both Wei and ETH

2. get-transactions

   • Input: Ethereum address, optional limit
   • Output: Recent transactions with timestamps, values, and addresses

3. get-token-transfers

   • Input: Ethereum address, optional limit
   • Output: Recent ERC20 token transfers with token details

4. get-contract-abi

   • Input: Contract address
   • Output: Contract ABI in JSON format

5. get-gas-prices

   • Input: None
   • Output: Current gas prices in Gwei

6. get-ens-name

   • Input: Ethereum address
   • Output: Associated ENS name if available

Using with Claude Desktop

To add this server to Claude Desktop:

1. Start the server using npm start

2. In Claude Desktop:

   • Go to Settings
   • Navigate to the MCP Servers section
   • Click "Add Server"
   • Enter the following configuration:

     {
       "name": "Etherscan Tools",
       "transport": "stdio",
       "command": "node /path/to/mcp-etherscan-server/build/index.js"
     }
     

   • Save the configuration

3. The Etherscan tools will now be available in your Claude conversations

Example Usage in Claude

You can use commands like:

Check the balance of 0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc454e4438f44e

or

Show me recent transactions for vitalik.eth

Development

To add new features or modify existing ones:

• The main server logic is in src/server.ts
