What is the Glassnode (On-chain Data) MCP Server?
Connect your Glassnode account to any AI agent to analyze crypto markets with precision. Fetch real-time and historical on-chain metrics, exchange flows, and network health data through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Asset Discovery — List all supported assets and blockchains using
list_assetsto identify available data points. - Metric Exploration — Query thousands of metric paths with
list_metricsand get detailed documentation on parameters viaget_metric_details. - Time-Series Analysis — Retrieve historical data for active addresses, exchange balances, and price metrics using
get_metric. - Bulk Data — Fetch metrics for multiple assets simultaneously with
get_bulk_metricto compare market trends. - Point-in-Time Data — Access immutable historical snapshots via
get_pit_metricto eliminate look-ahead bias in backtesting.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Glassnode API Key
- Start querying on-chain intelligence from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Crypto Traders — monitor exchange inflows and whale movements without leaving the chat
- Data Scientists — pull clean time-series data directly into your analysis environment
- Financial Analysts — generate reports on network growth and valuation metrics instantly
Built-in capabilities (6)

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Glassnode (On-chain Data) into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Glassnode (On-chain Data) and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 6 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
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.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
