How to Use the Glassnode (On-chain Data) MCP in Cursor

Q: How does Cursor use Glassnode (On-chain Data) to write trading strategies?

Cursor's agent calls getmetric to pull live token metrics directly into your workspace. It uses these real-time numbers to write and validate your custom trading algorithms.

Q: Can I configure Glassnode (On-chain Data) for specific projects in Cursor?

Yes. Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root to enable this MCP Server for that workspace. Your agent immediately gains access to the on-chain tools.

Q: How do I debug API schema errors using Glassnode (On-chain Data) in Cursor?

Your agent runs getmetricdetails to verify the expected parameters and data structures. Cursor then rewrites your local code to match the verified API schema.

Q: Can I pull bulk historical data directly into my active code files?

Yes. The getbulkmetric tool extracts historical series for multiple assets. Cursor inserts this data directly into your JSON or CSV files for instant local analysis.

Inject real-time Glassnode metrics directly into your Cursor agent to write trading algorithms with live on-chain data.

Generate Code with Live Glassnode Metrics in Cursor

The `get_metric` tool feeds live time-series data directly into Cursor's Composer mode, letting your agent write scripts using actual market values. You no longer write code with placeholder data or outdated hardcoded arrays. This active integration lets the editor write, test, and debug scripts using live exchange inflows or active address counts. Your agent adjusts the code structure based on the actual shape of the incoming JSON payload.

Explore Asset Coverage with this MCP Server

This MCP Server uses `list_assets` to pull the complete roster of supported tokens directly into your editor's sidebar. Your Cursor agent references this list to build dynamic asset filters inside your trading scripts. The `get_metric_details` tool provides the exact parameters and data types for each metric. Your agent writes typed interfaces and database schemas that match the Glassnode API specification perfectly.

Build Accurate Backtesting Engines in Cursor

Use `get_pit_metric` to inject historical, point-in-time data snapshots directly into your testing files. Cursor writes backtesting logic using the exact data available at that historical block, eliminating look-ahead bias. The `get_bulk_metric` tool retrieves multi-asset historical data for comparative testing. Your agent writes vector-based calculations to process these bulk arrays, speeding up your local strategy validation.

Setup guide

Set up Glassnode (On-chain Data) MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Glassnode (On-chain Data) MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Glassnode (On-chain Data) transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Glassnode (On-chain Data) tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.
