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 VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Glassnode (On-chain Data) data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 6 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

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.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
