# Grove's MCP Server for Pocket Network
<img src="./mcp.png" alt="MCP" width="250" align="right"/>
**Model Context Protocol (MCP)** server for blockchain data access across **[70+ networks](https://grove.city/services)** via Grove's public endpoints.
Not a standalone CLI — **requires an MCP client** such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code CLI, or MCP Inspector.
Turn Claude into a blockchain analysis tool with natural language queries, token analytics, transaction inspection, domain resolution, and multi-chain comparisons.
> **Free Public Access**: Uses Grove's free public RPC endpoints by default (may be rate limited). See https://grove.city/public-endpoints. For higher rate limits, set `GROVE_APP_ID` (get it at [portal.grove.city](https://portal.grove.city)).

## Quick Start
Prerequisites: Node.js 18+ and npm
1. **Install and build:**
```bash
npm install
npm run build
```
2. **Optional: Set `GROVE_APP_ID`** (for higher rate limits):
**macOS/Linux:**
```bash
export GROVE_APP_ID=your_app_id
```
**Windows (Command Prompt):**
```cmd
set GROVE_APP_ID=your_app_id
```
**Windows (PowerShell):**
```powershell
$env:GROVE_APP_ID="your_app_id"
```
Default uses public endpoints (may be rate limited). Get it at [portal.grove.city](https://portal.grove.city).
3. **Configure MCP client:**
**Claude Desktop:**
macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
Windows: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"grove": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-grove/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
```
**Claude Code CLI:**
```bash
claude mcp add grove node /absolute/path/to/mcp-grove/dist/index.js
```
**MCP Inspector** (testing):
```bash
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/index.js
```
4. **Restart client** and start querying:
```
"Get the balance of vitalik.eth"
"Compare balances for 0x... across all EVM chains"
"What's the current gas price on Ethereum?"
```
## Features
### Core Blockchain Access
- **70+ Networks**: Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Solana, NEAR, Sui, and more
- **Natural Language Queries**: "get the latest height for ethereum" → direct results
- **Free Public Access**: No API keys required (may be rate limited)
- **Optional Rate Limit Bypass**: Set `GROVE_APP_ID` for higher limits
- **Live JSON-RPC**: Execute any blockchain RPC method directly
**Tip**: Set `GROVE_APP_ID` once; it applies to all chains (EVM, Solana, Cosmos, Sui).

## Extending with New Blockchains
Add new blockchain networks by editing `src/config/blockchain-services.json`:
```json
{
"id": "newchain-mainnet",
"name": "New Chain Mainnet",
"blockchain": "newchain",
"network": "mainnet",
"rpcUrl": "https://newchain.rpc.grove.city/v1/01fdb492",
"protocol": "json-rpc",
"category": "evm",
"supportedMethods": [
{
"name": "eth_blockNumber",
"description": "Returns the latest block number",
"params": [],
"category": "block"
}
]
}
```
Then rebuild (`npm run build`) and restart your MCP client.
See [EXTENDING.md](EXTENDING.md) for details.

**Windows (Command Prompt):**
```cmd
set GROVE_APP_ID=your_id_from_portal

```powershell
$env:GROVE_APP_ID="your_id_from_portal"
```
The MCP server will automatically use `GROVE_APP_ID` for all requests. Get it at [portal.grove.city](https://portal.grove.city).
### Documentation
```
Show me all available Grove endpoints
Search the Grove documentation for "authentication"
