# evmscope
[한국어](README-ko.md) | [中文](README-zh.md) | [日本語](README-ja.md) | [Español](README-es.md) | [Русский](README-ru.md)
EVM blockchain intelligence toolkit. 26 tools across 7 chains — use as a CLI or MCP server. Token prices, gas comparison, swap quotes, yield rates, honeypot detection, bridge routes, tx simulation, NFT lookup, governance proposals, portfolio tracking, and more.
## Why evmscope?
AI agents like Claude and GPT cannot access real-time blockchain data. Ask "What's the ETH price?" or "Show me this wallet's balance" and you'll get "I can't access real-time data."
evmscope solves this by giving AI agents direct access to 26 on-chain tools via the MCP protocol — token prices, wallet balances, DeFi yields, whale tracking, honeypot detection, and more. No API keys, no setup, just connect and go.
## Who is it for?
| User | Use Case |
|------|----------|
| **AI agent developers** | Connect as MCP server to give AI on-chain analysis capabilities |
| **Crypto traders & researchers** | Query tokens, wallets, and protocols directly from the terminal |
| **DeFi users** | Safety tools — honeypot detection, approval status checks, whale tracking |
## Features
- **26 tools** — Price, gas compare, swap quote, yield rates, honeypot detection, bridge routes, tx simulation, event logs, token holders, approval status, TVL, whale tracking, balance, token info, ENS, tx status, tx decode, ABI lookup, address ID, NFT info, NFT metadata, governance proposals, block info, token transfers, portfolio
- **7 EVM chains** — Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Avalanche, BSC
- **49 built-in tokens** — ETH, USDC, USDT, WETH, LINK, UNI, AAVE, ARB, OP, PEPE, and more
- **30+ labeled addresses** — Exchanges, DeFi protocols, bridges, whale wallets
- **Zero config** — No API keys required. Works out of the box with free public APIs
- **Read-only** — No transaction execution. Zero risk of fund loss
- **Dual mode** — CLI for direct terminal use, MCP server for AI agent integration

Scored across 26 tools
Most tools have distinct purposes focused on specific EVM/DeFi tasks, but some overlap exists: getBalance and getPortfolio both retrieve wallet balances, and getTokenInfo/getTokenPrice both provide token data. Descriptions help clarify differences, but an agent might occasionally misselect between closely related tools.
Tool names follow a highly consistent camelCase pattern with a clear 'verbNoun' structure (e.g., getBalance, decodeTx, simulateTx). All 26 tools adhere to this convention, making them predictable and easy to parse programmatically.
With 26 tools, the count feels heavy for a single server, bordering on excessive. While the tools cover a broad EVM/DeFi scope, the set could benefit from consolidation or modularization to reduce cognitive load and potential overlap.
The toolset comprehensively covers EVM/DeFi operations: from basic queries (balances, gas, blocks) to advanced features (simulations, honeypot detection, bridge routes, governance). There are no obvious gaps; agents can perform end-to-end workflows like token analysis, portfolio management, and transaction handling.
