Tools

investigate_wallet

Full forensics report for any Solana wallet — identity, funding source, balances, activity summary, and risk score.

"Investigate wallet 7xKp...3nQm"

trace_funding

Follow the money upstream. Recursively traces funding sources to find where the SOL originally came from.

7xKp...3nQm
  ← 9aB2...mR4x (Unknown) — 2.5 SOL @ 2024-03-15
    ← 3kF7...9pLq (Binance Hot Wallet) [exchange]

trace_outflows

Follow the money downstream. Maps top destinations by volume with identity labels.

identify_wallets

Batch lookup for up to 100 addresses. Tags exchanges, protocols, institutions from Helius's database of 7,000+ known accounts.

wallet_risk_score

Composite risk score (0-100) based on:

• Funding source (exchange vs mixer vs unknown)

• Wallet age

• Transfer patterns (rapid in/out detection)

• Counterparty analysis

compare_wallets

Compare 2-5 wallets to find connections:

• Shared counterparties

• Overlapping token holdings

• Timing correlation

• Same-owner probability

How It Works

This MCP server composes Helius's Wallet API and Enhanced Transactions API into forensics workflows. Instead of calling raw API methods, the AI calls high-level tools like investigate_wallet and gets a complete picture.

APIs used:

• Wallet Identity — 7,000+ tagged accounts

• Funded By — original funding source discovery

• Wallet Balances — token + NFT holdings with USD values

• Wallet Transfers — complete transfer history

• Enhanced Transactions — human-readable transaction parsing

Requirements

• Node.js 18+

• Free Helius API key (get one here)
