Inspect Bitcoin Addresses in Claude Desktop

Stop copying Bitcoin addresses into web block explorers. When you paste an address into Claude Desktop, your agent uses `get_address` to pull the exact balance and transaction history directly into your chat. The tool runs locally via stdio on your machine, or connects via a remote MCP configuration on the web app. You get instant verification of wallet activity without leaving your active conversation.

Analyze Live Mempool Activity and Network Fees

Your agent uses `get_mempool_stats` and `list_unconfirmed_transactions` to check pending congestion. It keeps you from overpaying on network fees when setting up transactions. Claude Desktop displays these stats in real time. You can ask your agent to calculate the optimal fee rate based on the current unconfirmed queue.

Generate Price Charts and Market Metrics

Need historical price trends? This MCP Server lets Claude Desktop fetch historical data through `get_chart` and current fiat rates via `get_ticker`. If you use Claude Web, the custom connector can render these charts as interactive visual dashboards directly inside your browser window.
