mcp-mempool
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the mempool.space Bitcoin API. No API key required.
Lets any MCP client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, etc.) query live Bitcoin data: recommended fees, mempool state, blocks, transactions, addresses, price.
Tools
| Tool | Arguments | Returns |
|---|---|---|
get_recommended_fees |
— | Fee estimates in sat/vB (fastest, 30 min, 1 h, economy, minimum) |
get_mempool_stats |
— | Unconfirmed tx count, total vsize, total pending fees |
get_tip |
— | Current block height and hash |
get_recent_blocks |
limit (1-10, default 5) |
Recent blocks: height, time, tx count, median fee, mining pool |
get_transaction |
txid (64 hex chars) |
Confirmation status, fee, fee rate, inputs/outputs |
get_address |
address |
Confirmed balance, received total, tx counts, pending delta |
get_price |
— | BTC price in USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, CHF, AUD, JPY |
Install and build
npm install
npm run build
Try it
examples/client.mjs spawns the server over stdio and calls each tool:
npm run example
Use with Claude Code
claude mcp add mempool -- node /path/to/mcp-mempool/dist/index.js
Then ask, for example: "quels frais je mets pour une transaction confirmée dans l'heure ?"
Use with Claude Desktop
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mempool": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/mcp-mempool/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
Other networks / self-hosted instance
Set MEMPOOL_API_BASE to point elsewhere (default: https://mempool.space/api):
{
"mcpServers": {
"mempool-testnet": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/mcp-mempool/dist/index.js"],
"env": { "MEMPOOL_API_BASE": "https://mempool.space/testnet4/api" }
}
}
}
Works with any mempool.space-compatible instance (e.g. a self-hosted one on your own node).
Notes
- Uses the public REST API; heavy usage should point
MEMPOOL_API_BASEat a self-hosted instance (mempool.space rate-limits aggressively). - API errors are returned as MCP tool errors (
isError: true) with the upstream message, so the model can react to them.
