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)
Use a="*" for all assets. Get bulk metric data for multiple assets
Path should be the metric name like "addresses/active_count" or "market/price_usd_close". Get time-series data for a specific metric
Get details, allowed parameters, and description for a specific metric
Get Point-in-Time (PIT) metric data
List all supported assets on Glassnode
Can be filtered by asset, interval, etc. List all available metric paths on Glassnode
Why Windsurf?

How Vinkius secures
Glassnode (On-chain Data) for Windsurf
Every tool call from Windsurf to the Glassnode (On-chain Data) MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
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.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
