MCP Etherscan Server

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:

2. Install dependencies:

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

4. Build the project:

Running the Server

Start the server:

The server will run 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 that can be called by compatible clients.

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

Development

To add new features or modify existing ones:

1. The main server logic is in src/server.ts
2. Etherscan API interactions are handled in src/services/etherscanService.ts
3. Build after changes: npm run build
