Security Report

2.5
Use Caution2.5Critical Risk

This submission is not a legitimate MCP server but rather a TypeScript compiler library bundled with minimal configuration files. The code provided (node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js) is a massive compiled bundle of the TypeScript compiler itself, not an Etherscan MCP server. The package.json claims to be an Etherscan MCP but contains no actual server implementation. This appears to be either a placeholder, a misconfiguration, or a potential supply chain attack vector where the actual server code is missing or replaced.

Etherscan V2 MCP — multichain (50+ EVM chains) block-explorer access.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.

Tools

  • get_balance(address, chain?) — native-token balance.
  • get_token_balance(address, contract_address, chain?) — ERC-20 balance.
  • list_transactions(address, type?, chain?, ...) — normal / internal / erc20 / erc721 / erc1155.
  • get_contract_abi(address, chain?) — verified ABI.
  • get_contract_source(address, chain?) — verified source + metadata.

Auth

  • Platform key: gateway env PLATFORM_ETHERSCAN_KEY.
  • BYO: ?_apiKey=<key> after registering at https://etherscan.io/apis (free 100k/day, 5 req/sec).

Data source

https://api.etherscan.io/v2/api — single key works across all supported chains via chainid param.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "etherscan": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/etherscan/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Etherscan data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
