Setting up with Highlight

This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:

  1. Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
  2. Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
  3. Configure the plugin with the settings below
    Plugin Name Etherscan
    Command (node, npx, python, etc.) node
    Arguments
    • Argument 1 /path/to/mcp-etherscan-server/build/index.js
    Environment
    • ETHERSCAN_API_KEY your_api_key_here

    Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.

  4. Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches

From the repository

1. Clone the repository:

git clone [your-repo-url]
cd mcp-etherscan-server

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Create a .env file in the root directory:

ETHERSCAN_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

4. Build the project:

npm run build

Start the server:

npm start

The server will run on stdio, making it compatible with MCP clients like Claude Desktop.

You can use commands like:

Check the balance of 0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc454e4438f44e

or
Show me recent transactions for vitalik.eth

check-balance

Get ETH balance for any Ethereum address. Input: Ethereum address. Output: ETH balance in both Wei and ETH.

get-transactions

View recent transactions for a given Ethereum address. Input: Ethereum address, optional limit. Output: Recent transactions with timestamps, values, and addresses.

get-token-transfers

Track recent ERC20 token transfers for an Ethereum address. Input: Ethereum address, optional limit. Output: Recent ERC20 token transfers with token details.

get-contract-abi

Fetch the smart contract ABI for a specific contract address. Input: Contract address. Output: Contract ABI in JSON format.

get-gas-prices

Monitor current gas prices. Input: None. Output: Current gas prices in Gwei.

get-ens-name

Resolve an Ethereum address to its associated ENS name if available. Input: Ethereum address. Output: Associated ENS name if available.

1. check-balance
- Input: Ethereum address
- Output: ETH balance in both Wei and ETH

2. get-transactions
- Input: Ethereum address, optional limit
- Output: Recent transactions with timestamps, values, and addresses

3. get-token-transfers
- Input: Ethereum address, optional limit
- Output: Recent ERC20 token transfers with token details

4. get-contract-abi
- Input: Contract address
- Output: Contract ABI in JSON format

5. get-gas-prices
- Input: None
- Output: Current gas prices in Gwei

6. get-ens-name
- Input: Ethereum address
- Output: Associated ENS name if available

MCP Etherscan Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides Ethereum blockchain data tools via Etherscan's API. Features include checking ETH balances, viewing transaction history, tracking ERC20 transfers, fetching contract ABIs, monitoring gas prices, and resolving ENS names.

Features

- Balance Checking: Get ETH balance for any Ethereum address
- Transaction History: View recent transactions with detailed information
- Token Transfers: Track ERC20 token transfers with token details
- Contract ABI: Fetch smart contract ABIs for development
- Gas Prices: Monitor current gas prices (Safe Low, Standard, Fast)
- ENS Resolution: Resolve Ethereum addresses to ENS names

Prerequisites

- Node.js >= 18
- An Etherscan API key (get one at https://etherscan.io/apis)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone [your-repo-url]
cd mcp-etherscan-server

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Create a .env file in the root directory:

ETHERSCAN_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

4. Build the project:

npm run build

Running the Server

Start the server:

npm start

The server will run on stdio, making it compatible with MCP clients like Claude Desktop.

How It Works

This server implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to provide tools for interacting with Ethereum blockchain data through Etherscan's API. Each tool is exposed as an MCP endpoint that can be called by compatible clients.

Available Tools

1. check-balance
- Input: Ethereum address
- Output: ETH balance in both Wei and ETH

2. get-transactions
- Input: Ethereum address, optional limit
- Output: Recent transactions with timestamps, values, and addresses

3. get-token-transfers
- Input: Ethereum address, optional limit
- Output: Recent ERC20 token transfers with token details

4. get-contract-abi
- Input: Contract address
- Output: Contract ABI in JSON format

5. get-gas-prices
- Input: None
- Output: Current gas prices in Gwei

6. get-ens-name
- Input: Ethereum address
- Output: Associated ENS name if available

Using with Claude Desktop

To add this server to Claude Desktop:

1. Start the server using npm start

2. In Claude Desktop:
- Go to Settings
- Navigate to the MCP Servers section
- Click "Add Server"
- Enter the following configuration:

     {
"name": "Etherscan Tools",
"transport": "stdio",
"command": "node /path/to/mcp-etherscan-server/build/index.js"
}

- Save the configuration

3. The Etherscan tools will now be available in your Claude conversations

Example Usage in Claude

You can use commands like:

Check the balance of 0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc454e4438f44e

or
Show me recent transactions for vitalik.eth

Development

To add new features or modify existing ones:

1. The main server logic is in src/server.ts
2. Etherscan API interactions are handled in src/services/etherscanService.ts
3. Build after changes: npm run build
