Web3 Tools MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for blockchain interactions using viem, Etherscan, and Hypersync.

Features

• Multi-chain support (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, BNB Chain, Gnosis, Sonic, Optimism, Polygon, zkSync Era, Linea, Unichain)
• 🔐 Transaction Signing via Browser Wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet)
• Smart contract interactions (read & write functions, ABI retrieval, source code)
• Contract simulation & gas estimation (simulate transactions, estimate costs)
• Real-time gas price tracking (legacy & EIP-1559)
• ENS resolution (names ↔ addresses, text records, avatars)
• Token balances & transfers (native & ERC20, batch queries)
• Event log queries with Hypersync acceleration
• Transaction tracing and analysis
• Storage slot reading with type decoding

Quick Start

Claude Code

claude mcp add --scope user --transport stdio web3-tools -- npx -y web3-tools-mcp

Claude Desktop

Add to config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "web3-tools": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "web3-tools-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

API Keys (Optional)

All API keys are optional. The server uses public RPCs by default. Add keys to unlock additional features:

Configuration options:

• --etherscan-api-key or ETHERSCAN_API_KEY - Enables contract ABI/source retrieval
• --hypersync-api-key or HYPERSYNC_API_KEY - Fast event queries (10-100x faster)
• --alchemy-api-key or ALCHEMY_API_KEY - Enhanced RPC reliability
• --infura-api-key or INFURA_API_KEY - Additional RPC provider
• --custom-rpc - Custom RPC URLs as JSON

Get free API keys:

• Etherscan: etherscan.io/apis
• Hypersync: hypersync.xyz
• Alchemy: alchemy.com
• Infura: infura.io

Example with API keys:

# Claude Code
claude mcp add --scope user --transport stdio web3-tools -- npx -y web3-tools-mcp --etherscan-api-key YOUR_KEY --hypersync-api-key YOUR_KEY

# Environment variables
export ETHERSCAN_API_KEY=your_key
export HYPERSYNC_API_KEY=your_key
npx web3-tools-mcp

Supported Networks

🔐 Browser Wallet Integration

The server includes a built-in wallet interface for secure transaction signing without exposing private keys.

How It Works

1. When you use a transaction tool (e.g., send_native_token), the server automatically:
   • Starts a local web server on http://localhost:3456
   • Opens your browser to connect your wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet, etc.)
2. You connect your wallet once in the browser
3. Transaction requests appear in the browser for approval
4. Sign or reject transactions directly in your wallet

Supported Wallets

• MetaMask
• Rabby
• Coinbase Wallet
• Any browser wallet supporting EIP-1193

Manual Access

Visit http://localhost:3456 anytime to:

• Check wallet connection status
• See pending transactions
• View transaction history

Note: The wallet server runs automatically when the MCP server starts. No additional setup required!

Available Tools

Signatures

• get_function_signature - Generate 4-byte function selectors
• get_event_signature - Generate 32-byte event topic0 hashes
• get_error_signature - Generate 4-byte error selectors

Contract Info

• get_contract_abi - Get ABI with proxy detection and verification status
• get_contract_source_code - Get verified source code with proxy support
• get_contract_source_file - Retrieve specific source file from cache
• is_contract - Check if address is contract or EOA

Contract Interaction

• call_contract_function - Call view/pure functions (supports batch)
• call_contract_write - Execute state-changing contract functions via browser wallet
• simulate_contract - Simulate contract calls without broadcasting (includes gas estimate)

Transactions (Browser Wallet Required)

• send_native_token - Send ETH/native tokens to an address
• send_erc20_token - Send ERC20 tokens to an address
• sign_message - Sign messages with your wallet
• wallet_status - Check wallet connection status

Gas & Simulation

• estimate_gas - Estimate gas cost for any transaction
• get_gas_price - Get current gas prices (legacy & EIP-1559)

ENS

• resolve_ens_name - ENS name → address
• reverse_resolve_ens - Address → ENS name
• get_ens_text_record - Get text records (avatar, email, twitter, etc.)
• get_ens_avatar - Get avatar URI
• batch_resolve_ens_names - Batch resolve multiple names

Balances

• get_balance - Get native or ERC20 balances (supports batch)

Events & Logs

• get_logs - Query and decode events with Hypersync fallback

Advanced

• get_storage_at - Read storage slots with type decoding
• get_block_info - Get block data (timestamp, hash, etc.)
• trace_transaction - Trace execution (call tree, VM, state diff)

Advanced Configuration

Custom RPC

npx web3-tools-mcp --custom-rpc '{"mainnet":"https://my-rpc.com","base":"https://base-rpc.com"}'

RPC Failover

Automatic provider selection: Alchemy → Infura → Public RPCs

Batch Operations

Many tools support batching for improved efficiency (contract calls, balances, ENS resolution).

Requirements

• Node.js ≥ 20.0.0
• Internet connection for RPC calls
