A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides Bitcoin blockchain data and analysis tools through free data sources.
- Real-time blockchain data from Blockstream.info API
- Bitcoin price and market data from CoinGecko API
- Network metrics and fee estimates from Mempool.space API
- UTXO analysis and basic transaction pattern detection
- Data caching for improved performance and reduced API load
get_block: Retrieve block information by hash or heightget_transaction: Get transaction details by TXIDget_address: View address information, balance, and transaction historyget_utxos: Retrieve unspent transaction outputs for an address
get_price_data: Current Bitcoin price and market metricsget_historical_price: Historical price data for specified time periods
get_network_metrics: Bitcoin network health metricsanalyze_fee_landscape: Current fee recommendations and analysisanalyze_mempool_state: Mempool congestion analysis
analyze_utxo_distribution: UTXO distribution analysis for multiple addressestrace_coin_lineage: Basic tracing of coin movementdetect_transaction_patterns: Identify common transaction patterns
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/myownipgit/bitcoin-data-mcp.git
cd bitcoin-data-mcp
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Build the TypeScript code
npm run build# Start the MCP server
npm startThe server runs on stdio, which allows it to be used as a plugin for AI models and tools that support the Model Context Protocol.
This MCP server can be integrated with Claude Desktop to give Claude direct access to Bitcoin blockchain data without requiring internet access from Claude itself.
-
Start your Bitcoin MCP Server:
npm start
-
In Claude Desktop:
- Open Settings
- Navigate to the "Tools" or "MCP Connections" section
- Add a new MCP connection by clicking "Add Tool"
- Name: "Bitcoin Data MCP"
- Connection Type: "stdio"
- Command: The full path to the server launch command, e.g.,
/path/to/bitcoin-data-mcp/dist/server.js - Click "Save"
-
Claude will now have access to all the Bitcoin data tools provided by this server
-
Example query to Claude: "What's the current Bitcoin price and network congestion level?"
This integration allows Claude to access real-time Bitcoin data and perform analysis without needing internet access itself, as your local MCP server handles all API calls to Blockstream, CoinGecko, and Mempool.space.
