How do I install the btcfi api mcp server?

Use a recorded configuration for your client, replace example credential values and paths, and verify the documented runtime. Restart or reconnect the client, then inspect the available tools.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL`, `UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN`, `X402_FACILITATOR_URL` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

The short version

BTCFi API is an agent-native Bitcoin intelligence platform providing 80+ endpoints across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Lightning Network, Runes, and Taproot Assets. Powered by x402 micropayments — pay $0.01–$0.05 per query in USDC, no API keys or subscriptions required. CoinGecko integration provides multi-currency pricing (38 fiat currencies). AI agents discover endpoints at /llms.txt and integrate via MCP, SDK, or raw HTTP.
