evmcp

EVM + MCP — give your AI assistant blockchain superpowers.

MCP server providing real-time access to on-chain data across Base, Optimism, Avalanche, and Celo, with companion smart contracts deployed on-chain for batch queries and cross-chain data.

How it Works

EVMCP implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a standard that lets AI assistants call external tools. When connected, your AI assistant gains 28 read-only blockchain tools it can invoke to query balances, decode transactions, compare gas prices, and more across four EVM chains.

What sets EVMCP apart is its companion smart contracts — four Solidity contracts deployed on Avalanche and Celo that enable batch queries via Multicall3, an on-chain tool registry, event aggregation, and cross-chain balance caching. The MCP server reads from these contracts; all write operations are performed separately by an admin CLI.

Quick Start

With Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "evmcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "evmcp"],
      "env": { "ALCHEMY_API_KEY": "your_key_here" }
    }
  }
}

With Claude Code

claude mcp add evmcp -- npx -y evmcp

Companion Contracts

Four Solidity contracts are deployed on Avalanche and Celo. The MCP server reads from these contracts to provide batch queries, on-chain tool metadata, and cross-chain data. Base and Optimism deployments are planned.

Avalanche C-Chain (43114)

Celo (42220)

Contract Descriptions

• MCPRegistry -- On-chain metadata for all EVMCP tools (names, descriptions, versions). Owner-only writes.
• BatchQuery -- Optimized batch reads via Multicall3. Includes multi-balance, multi-contract-check, and multi-token-balance helpers.
• EventAggregator -- Caches event count summaries per contract. Updated by the admin CLI.
• CrossChainCache -- Stores balance snapshots for cross-chain queries. Updated by the admin CLI.

Environment Variables

*Provide either ALCHEMY_API_KEY or all four individual chain RPC URLs.
