🤖 What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard for tool providers to communicate with AI clients via standard input/output. This server lets you plug Bitcoin data tools into any MCP-compatible client.


⚡ Quick Start: Use in Your MCP Client

You can configure this server as a tool provider in your MCP Client such Claude, Cursor, VsCode and others:

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

[!TIP] 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.

FAQ

What is the Mempool.space MCP server?
Mempool.space is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server profile on explainx.ai. MCP lets AI hosts (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor) call tools and resources through a standard interface; this page summarizes categories, install hints, and community ratings.
How do MCP servers relate to agent skills?
Skills are reusable instruction packages (often SKILL.md); MCP servers expose live capabilities. Teams frequently combine both—skills for workflows, MCP for APIs and data. See explainx.ai/skills and explainx.ai/mcp-servers for parallel directories.
How are reviews shown for Mempool.space?
This profile displays 10 aggregated ratings (sample rows for discoverability plus signed-in user reviews). Average score is about 4.5 out of 5—verify behavior in your own environment before production use.
