Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the QuickNode MCP Server?
Connect your QuickNode account to any AI agent to orchestrate Web3 infrastructure through natural language. This server provides a comprehensive suite of tools to manage high-performance blockchain data pipelines and queries.
What you can do
- Streams Management — Create, list, and update real-time data streams for historical and live blockchain ingestion using
create_streamandlist_streams. - Webhooks — Deploy webhooks from templates (like EVM wallet filters or contract events) to deliver real-time events to your HTTP endpoints via
create_webhook. - KV Store — Manage key-value pairs and lists to power advanced server-side filtering logic for your streams using
create_kv_listandcreate_kv_set. - Core RPC — Access fundamental blockchain data, such as retrieving the most recent block number using
rpc_eth_blocknumber.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Provide your QuickNode API Key and RPC URL
- Start building and monitoring your Web3 infrastructure from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Web3 Developers — Rapidly prototype and manage data pipelines without leaving the terminal or IDE.
- Data Engineers — Orchestrate complex blockchain data ingestion workflows using natural language commands.
- DevOps Teams — Monitor and update infrastructure configurations, webhooks, and streams on the fly.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check the current block height on Ethereum?
You can use the rpc_eth_blocknumber tool. It will return the most recent block number from the blockchain network connected to your RPC URL.
Can I create a stream to monitor specific blockchain datasets?
Yes, use the create_stream tool. You can specify the dataset (e.g., 'block', 'traces') and the destination (e.g., 'webhook', 's3') to start ingesting data immediately.
How do I manage lists for my stream filters?
Use the create_kv_list tool to initialize a list and update_kv_list to add or remove items. These lists can be referenced in your Streams JavaScript filter functions.
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.
