What is the Mempool MCP Server?

The Mempool MCP Server is a server based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard. It provides Bitcoin network data query functions for AI clients through a simple input/output interface. This data includes block information, transaction details, mining pool statistics, fee suggestions, etc. All data comes from the mempool.space API.

How to use the Mempool MCP Server?

You can configure this server as a tool provider for MCP clients (such as Claude, Cursor, etc.). After configuration, AI clients can directly query various real-time data of the Bitcoin network.

Applicable scenarios

Suitable for AI application scenarios that require real-time Bitcoin data, such as: transaction analysis assistants, block explorer integrations, on-chain data analysis tools, etc.

Main features

Price data

Get the current and historical price data of Bitcoin

Block data

Query block-related information such as block details, transaction lists, and block headers

Transaction data

Get transaction details, raw transaction data, transaction status, etc.

Address data

Query address-related information such as address balance, transaction history, and UTXOs

Mempool data

Get transaction information in the current mempool

Mining data

Query mining-related data such as mining pool information and difficulty adjustments

Advantages

Get real-time Bitcoin network data

Simple and easy-to-use standardized interface

Support local node connection (improve privacy)

Rich query functions cover most Bitcoin data needs

Limitations

Dependent on the availability of the mempool.space API

Require basic configuration knowledge

Some advanced functions may require local node support

How to use

Installation

Install the server via npm

Configure the MCP client

Add tool configuration to your MCP client configuration file

Connect to a local node (optional)

If you run your own Bitcoin node, you can connect to a local mempool instance

Usage examples

Query the Bitcoin price

The AI assistant can answer users' questions about the current Bitcoin price in real-time

Analyze transaction fees

When a user wants to send a Bitcoin transaction, the AI can suggest an appropriate fee

Check transaction status

When the user provides a transaction ID, the AI can query the transaction status

🚀 Mempool MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server offering real - time Bitcoin blockchain and mempool data, powered by mempool.space APIs. Utilize this server as a tool provider in your MCP - compatible clients (such as Claude, Cursor, etc.) to access the latest Bitcoin network information. This is an unofficial repository.

🚀 Quick Start

You can configure this server as a tool provider in your MCP Client such as Claude, Cursor, VsCode, etc.

"mempool-mcp-server": {
  "command": "npx",
  "args": [
    "@sanlim/mempool-mcp-server"
  ]
},

⚠️ Important Note

To connect locally for privacy and unlimited calls, you can pass the base mempool API URL as an environment config from your local Bitcoin node such as Umbrel, MyNode, etc. See below:

"mempool-mcp-server-local": {
  "command": "npx",
  "args": [
    "@sanlim/mempool-mcp-server"
  ],
  "env": {
    "MEMPOOL_BASE_URL": "http://umbrel.local:3006/api"
  }
},

Check this working with "mempool url" text on your MCP Client.

💡 Usage Tip

Enjoy using it!

🛠️ Using a Local Build

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/alexandresanlim/mempool-mcp-server.git

Install and build:

npm install
npm run build
npm run server

Configure your MCP client:

"mempool-mcp-server-debug": {
  "command": "node",
  "args": [
    "...replace_to_path_of_project/mempool-mcp-server/build/main.js"
  ]
},

The server will start and listen for MCP requests via standard input/output. 🎉
