What is the Pythia MCP server?

Oracle for AI agents. One tool, one reading. 3 free, then $0.025 USDC via x402. That is what the pythia mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

The short version

An oracle for machines that need to think sideways. Feed it a creative problem; it returns something you can't quite explain but can't stop using.

Getting it running

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @smithery/cli 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.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 10 tools. What each one is for:

  • price — $0.025
  • network — Base (eip155:8453)
  • asset — USDC
  • payTo
  • Smithery — ** smithery.ai/server/dexigo/pythia
  • Glama — ** glama.ai/mcp/servers/eyloni/pythia-the-oracle
  • query — string
  • context — string
  • agent_id — string
  • consult_oracle — PYTHIA doesn't brainstorm, rephrase, or give you a list. It doesn't solve your problem. It names the structure of the trap you're in -- the one you

Things to watch

  • 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 10 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Pythia.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

How it compares

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Pythia's toolset — price, network, asset and 7 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by eyloni; 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.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Pythia to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 10 tools (price, network, asset, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Pythia directly.
