What is the Etherscan MCP Server?

Connect your Etherscan API key to any AI agent and gain instant access to on-chain data across Ethereum and other EVM-compatible networks through natural conversation.

What you can do

Native Balances — Retrieve the native token balance (ETH, MATIC, etc.) for single or multiple addresses (up to 20) using get_balance and get_balance_multi.
Transaction History — Fetch comprehensive lists of normal and internal transactions for any wallet address with get_tx_list and get_tx_list_internal.
Token Tracking — Monitor transfers for ERC-20, ERC-721 (NFTs), and ERC-1155 tokens using specialized tools like get_token_tx and get_token_nft_tx.
Multi-Chain Support — Query data across different networks by specifying the chainid (e.g., 1 for Ethereum, 137 for Polygon).
Granular Filtering — Filter transaction results by block range, pagination, and sort order to find exactly what you need.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I check the balance of multiple Ethereum addresses at once?

You can use the get_balance_multi tool. Provide the chainid (e.g., 1 for Ethereum) and a comma-separated list of up to 20 addresses to retrieve all balances in a single request.

Can I track NFT transfers for a specific wallet?

Yes! Use the get_token_nft_tx tool. By providing the wallet address and the appropriate chainid, the agent will list ERC-721 transfer events associated with that account.

Does this support networks other than Ethereum Mainnet?

Yes, as long as you use the correct chainid. For example, use 1 for Ethereum, 137 for Polygon, or 10 for Optimism, provided your API key has access to those Etherscan-equivalent explorers.

How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?

When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.

What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?

Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.

Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?

Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.

Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?

Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.

Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?

Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.

Server not appearing after restart

Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).

Authentication error

Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.

Tools not showing in chat

Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
