Enables micropayments via Coinbase x402 for paid dataset queries.
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Cryo MCP show me the latest 10 Ethereum blocks"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Cryo MCP is an MCP server that allows you to extensively query blockchain data in natural language, powered by Cryo and Reth.
We host a remote MCP server at https://cryo-mcp.fly.dev/v1/mcp that you can use to test it out. It is connected to a Reth archive node and has access to all datasets that Cryo provides:

Only the dataset generation (query_dataset) tool is paid, using Coinbase x402 through the payflow-sdk package. It currently costs 0.05 USDC and is payable on Base.
The MCP server uses the facilitator hosted by Coinbase to settle the payments.
We limit the number of blocks per query to 10,000. If your agent needs more data, you can use the query_dataset tool multiple times with multiple payments.
