What is the Evmscope MCP server?

If you already use Evmscope, the evmscope mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. EVM blockchain intelligence toolkit for AI agents. 20 tools across 5 chains. Zero config.

What the server does

EVM blockchain intelligence toolkit. 26 tools across 7 chains — use as a CLI or MCP server. Token prices, gas comparison, swap quotes, yield rates, honeypot detection, bridge routes, tx simulation, NFT lookup, governance proposals, portfolio tracking, and more.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • Cursor — The Cursor tool exposed by this server
  • getTokenPrice — Get current token price, 24h change, market cap, and volume
  • getGasPrice — Get current gas prices in slow/normal/fast tiers with USD estimates
  • getBalance — The getBalance tool exposed by this server
  • getTokenInfo — Get ERC-20 token metadata (name, symbol, decimals, total supply)
  • resolveENS — Resolve ENS names to addresses and vice versa (Ethereum mainnet only)
  • getTxStatus — Get transaction status, receipt, confirmations, and gas usage
  • decodeTx — Decode a transaction into structured JSON — function name, parameters, event logs
  • getContractABI — Look up a verified contract's ABI (Etherscan → Sourcify fallback)
  • identifyAddress — Identify an address — exchange, DeFi protocol, whale wallet, or EOA
  • compareGas — Compare gas fees across all 7 EVM chains at once, sorted by lowest cost
  • getApprovalStatus — Check ERC-20 token approval (allowance) status. Auto-checks major DeFi protocols with risk level assessment

Installation

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at evmscope on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: EVMSCOPE_RPC_URL, EVMSCOPE_COINGECKO_KEY, EVMSCOPE_ETHERSCAN_KEY, EVMSCOPE_POLYGONSCAN_KEY, ETHERSCAN_KEY, EVMSCOPE_ARBISCAN_KEY, EVMSCOPE_BASESCAN_KEY, EVMSCOPE_OPTIMISTIC_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Where it fits

Among the monitoring and observability options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Evmscope's toolset — Cursor, getTokenPrice, getGasPrice and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by calintzy; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Evmscope.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Evmscope to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 14 tools (Cursor, getTokenPrice, getGasPrice, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Evmscope directly.
