# Glassnode MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect

> Glassnode (On-chain Data) MCP lets your AI agent pull institutional-grade market data for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and over 1,000 other assets. It connects your agent to real-time and historical on-chain metrics, exchange flows, and network health data so you can analyze the crypto market without manual data scraping.

## Description

Stop jumping between different dashboards to piece together what's happening on the blockchain. This Connector gives your AI agent a direct line to Glassnode, the industry standard for on-chain intelligence. Instead of manually exporting CSVs or squinting at complex charts, you can just ask your agent to tell you what the whales are doing or how much liquidity is moving into a specific exchange. Whether you're looking for real-time network health or deep historical snapshots to eliminate look-ahead bias in your models, this connection handles the heavy lifting. It's a core part of how some of the most sophisticated traders use the Vinkius catalog to turn raw blockchain noise into actionable signals. You get clean, structured data for thousands of assets, allowing you to spot trends before they hit the mainstream news cycle.

## Tools

### get_pit_metric
Access immutable point-in-time snapshots to avoid look-ahead bias. This is a requirement for accurate historical backtesting.

### get_bulk_metric
Fetch metrics for multiple assets simultaneously to compare market trends. This is useful for seeing how different coins are moving at the same time.

### get_metric_details
Get specific details and allowed parameters for a particular metric path. Use this to understand exactly what data points are available for your query.

### get_metric
Retrieve historical time-series data for a specific on-chain metric. This allows you to see trends over days, weeks, or months.

### list_assets
List every supported asset and blockchain currently available on Glassnode. Use this to see the full scope of the data you can access.

### list_metrics
Browse all available metric paths on Glassnode filtered by asset or interval. This helps you find the right data for your specific analysis.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Show me the whale movement for Bitcoin over the last 48 hours.
```

**Response:** 
```
I've analyzed the recent on-chain data for Bitcoin. Over the last 48 hours, there has been a significant increase in exchange inflows, specifically from private wallets. 

**Key Observations:**
* **Inflows:** +12.4% increase in BTC moved to major exchanges.
* **Whale Activity:** 3 large movements exceeding 500 BTC detected.
* **Trend:** This suggests a potential increase in selling pressure in the short term.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Compare the active address growth for BTC and ETH over the last 30 days.
```

**Response:** 
```
Here is the comparison of active address growth for both assets over the last 30 days:

| Asset | 30-Day Growth | Trend |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Bitcoin (BTC)** | +4.2% | Steady Upward |
| **Ethereum (ETH)** | +6.8% | Strong Upward |

Ethereum is currently showing a higher rate of network adoption relative to Bitcoin over this period.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the specific metrics available for the 'market/price_usd_close' path?
```

**Response:** 
```
The `market/price_usd_close` metric provides the following details:

* **Description:** Daily closing price in USD.
* **Supported Intervals:** 10m, 1h, 1d, 1w, 1m.
* **Parameters:** You can filter by `since` and `until` timestamps.
* **Availability:** This metric is available for almost all assets currently supported by the platform.
```

## Capabilities

### List all supported crypto assets
Identify every coin and blockchain currently available in the Glassnode database.

### Browse available metric paths
See the full list of on-chain metrics you can query for any given asset.

### Get detailed metric parameters
View the specific documentation and allowed inputs for any individual metric.

### Pull historical time-series data
Retrieve historical data for active addresses, exchange balances, and price metrics.

### Compare trends across multiple assets
Fetch data for several different coins at once to perform side-by-side comparisons.

### Access immutable point-in-time snapshots
Get historical data snapshots that prevent look-ahead bias during backtesting.

## Use Cases

### Whale Movement Tracking
A trader asks the agent to check for large exchange inflows to see if a major sell-off is coming.

### Backtesting Models
A researcher pulls point-in-time data to build a trading model without using future information.

### Multi-Asset Comparison
A user compares the active address growth of BTC versus ETH to see which network is gaining more traction.

### Network Health Reports
An analyst checks daily active addresses to gauge the health and adoption of a new blockchain.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Can I use the Glassnode MCP to track whale movements?**
Yes. This Connector allows your agent to pull specific on-chain metrics that highlight large movements from private wallets to exchanges, helping you spot potential market shifts.

**Does the Glassnode MCP support more than just Bitcoin?**
It supports over 1,000 assets across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Polygon, and many others.

**Can I use this for backtesting my trading models?**
Yes. By using point-in-time snapshots, you can access historical data that is immutable, which helps you avoid look-ahead bias in your backtesting.

**How does the Glassnode MCP help with market research?**
It replaces manual data scraping by letting you ask your agent questions about exchange flows, network health, and price trends directly.

**Is the data provided by the Glassnode MCP real-time?**
The Connector provides access to both real-time and historical on-chain metrics, depending on the specific metric path you choose to query.

**What kind of assets can I see with the Glassnode MCP?**
You can see a wide variety of assets, ranging from major coins like BTC and ETH to smaller tokens and various blockchain-specific assets.

**How can I find the exact path for a specific metric like 'Active Addresses'?**
Use the `list_metrics` tool with the asset symbol (e.g., 'BTC') to see all available paths, or use `get_metric_details` with a known path to see its full documentation and allowed parameters.

**Can I fetch data for multiple coins at once?**
Yes, use the `get_bulk_metric` tool. You can specify a specific asset or use a wildcard `*` to get data for all supported assets for a specific metric path in a single response.

**What is the difference between standard metrics and Point-in-Time (PIT) metrics?**
Standard `get_metric` returns the most accurate current data (which may include revisions). `get_pit_metric` provides an immutable view of data as it was known at a specific moment, which is essential for backtesting to avoid look-ahead bias.
