What is the MCP Snapshot Server MCP server?

If you already use MCP Snapshot Server, the mcp snapshot server mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. A Model Context Protocol server boilerplate.

What the server does

A Model Context Protocol server for interacting with Snapshot.org. This server provides MCP-compliant tools for querying Snapshot spaces, proposals, and users.

Installation

The server ships on npm as mcp-snapshot-server, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.

Available tools

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

  • getSpaces — Get a list of Snapshot spaces - limit: Number of spaces to fetch (optional) - skip: Number of spaces to skip (optional)
  • getRankedSpaces — Get a ranked list of Snapshot spaces with detailed information - first: Number of spaces to fetch (default: 18) - skip: Number of spaces to skip
  • getProposals — Get proposals for a specific space - spaceId: ID of the space - state: Filter by proposal state (active, closed, pending, all) - limit: Number of
  • getProposal — Get details of a specific proposal - proposalId: ID of the proposal
  • getUser — Get information about a Snapshot user - address: Ethereum address of the user

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.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Where it fits

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. MCP Snapshot Server's toolset — getSpaces, getRankedSpaces, getProposals and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by crazyrabbitLTC; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
