Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS, %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cryptoapis-contracts": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@cryptoapis-io/mcp-contracts"],
      "env": {
        "CRYPTOAPIS_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cryptoapis-contracts": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@cryptoapis-io/mcp-contracts"],
      "env": {
        "CRYPTOAPIS_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

MCP Inspector

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npx @cryptoapis-io/mcp-contracts --api-key YOUR_API_KEY

n8n

1. Start the server in HTTP mode:

   npx @cryptoapis-io/mcp-contracts --transport http --port 3000 --api-key YOUR_API_KEY
   

2. In your n8n workflow, add an AI Agent node
3. Under Tools, add an MCP Client Tool and set the URL to http://localhost:3000/mcp

n8n in Docker: localhost inside the container is not your machine. Start the server with --host 0.0.0.0 and MCP_AUTH_TOKEN set (see Exposing the server beyond localhost), use http://host.docker.internal:3000/mcp as the URL, and add an Authorization: Bearer <token> header to the MCP Client Tool credential.

All servers default to port 3000. Use --port to assign different ports when running multiple servers.

Available Tools

evm_contract_data

Get token details by contract address.

Supported Blockchains: ethereum, ethereum-classic, binance-smart-chain (mainnet, mordor, testnet, sepolia)

Contract token details are currently available for Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, and BSC only.

solana_contract_data

Get Solana token details by contract address.

Supported Networks: mainnet, devnet

CLI Arguments

HTTP API Key Modes

When using HTTP transport, the server supports two API key modes:

• With --api-key: The key is used for all requests. x-api-key request headers are ignored.
• Without --api-key: Each request must include an x-api-key header with a valid Crypto APIs key. This enables hosting a public server where each user provides their own key.

# Per-request key mode (multi-tenant)
npx @cryptoapis-io/mcp-contracts --transport http --port 3000
# Clients send x-api-key header with each request

Exposing the server beyond localhost

HTTP mode listens on 127.0.0.1 by default, so only processes on the same machine can reach it. To accept connections from other machines or containers, bind explicitly and protect the port:

# Startup-key mode: callers must present the token (the server refuses to start without one)
export MCP_AUTH_TOKEN=$(openssl rand -hex 32)
npx @cryptoapis-io/mcp-contracts --transport http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 3000 --api-key YOUR_API_KEY \
  --allowed-hosts mcp.internal.example
# Clients send: Authorization: Bearer $MCP_AUTH_TOKEN

# Per-request key mode: no startup key, every request must carry the caller's own x-api-key
npx @cryptoapis-io/mcp-contracts --transport http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 3000

--allowed-hosts restricts the Host header (DNS rebinding protection) when not bound to loopback. Prefer MCP_AUTH_TOKEN over --auth-token: command-line arguments are visible in the process list.

Stdio transport always requires an API key at startup.

Important: API Key Required

Warning: Making requests without a valid API key — or with an incorrect one — may result in your IP being banned from the Crypto APIs ecosystem. Always ensure a valid API key is configured before starting any server.

Remote MCP Server

Crypto APIs provides an official remote MCP server with all tools available via HTTP Streamable transport at https://ai.cryptoapis.io/mcp. Pass your API key via the x-api-key header — no installation required.
