The BrianKnows MCP server enables AI assistants to connect to BrianKnows' blockchain knowledge base, offering several tools:
Ping Tool: Check if the BrianKnows API server is online/responsive
Search Tool: Query BrianKnows' knowledge engine for blockchain and DeFi information, with ability to specify particular knowledge bases (e.g., Polygon, Lido, Starknet)
Agent Tool: Chat with the BrianKnows agent about DeFi protocols, optionally providing blockchain address and chain ID for context-aware responses
Provides access to Circle's knowledge base through BrianKnows' knowledge engine, allowing users to search for Circle-specific blockchain information.
Provides blockchain knowledge about Ethereum and its Layer 2 solutions through BrianKnows' knowledge engine and agent capabilities.
Offers access to NEAR Protocol's knowledge base, enabling users to search for NEAR-specific blockchain information through BrianKnows' knowledge engine.
Enables searching of Polygon-specific knowledge base through BrianKnows' knowledge engine, providing specialized information about the Polygon blockchain ecosystem.
