About tari-explorer

tari-explorer is a read-only MCP server for AI agents that need to inspect the Tari base layer on mainnet or Esmeralda. It provides block and miner coinbase details through Tari’s public text explorer without requiring keys.

Key features

  1. 01Read the latest block and mempool size
  2. 02Inspect block hashes and proof-of-work data
  3. 03Page through block outputs
  4. 04Read miner coinbase extra data

Use cases

  1. 01Check the current Tari chain tip
  2. 02Inspect a block’s inputs, outputs, and kernels
  3. 03Review miner coinbase data for a block

MCP support

Exposes tools for reading the Tari chain tip, block details, and block outputs to MCP clients. Runs as a stdio server.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alex3000-ai-tari-explorer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "tari-explorer-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
Run commandnpx -y tari-explorer-mcp

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Details

From the project README

ootlebook-explorer-mcp

An MCP server that lets an AI agent read the Tari base layer (Minotari, mainnet or the Esmeralda testnet) from Tari's public text explorer. Read-only, no keys, no dependencies beyond Node 20+. Inspired by kstrycharz/tariblocktools.

ToolWhat it answers
tari_tipthe latest block's height, hash and time, and the mempool size
tari_blockone block: hashes, time, proof-of-work algorithm, coinbase total, counts of outputs, inputs and kernels
tari_block_outputsa block's outputs, every page of them; coinbases include the miner's coinbase extra data as text (coinbase_only for just those)

Every tool takes network: mainnet (default) or esmeralda.

Use it

claude mcp add ootlebook-explorer -- npx -y ootlebook-explorer-mcp        # Claude Code

Other MCP clients: run npx -y ootlebook-explorer-mcp as a stdio server. From a checkout: node explorer-mcp/server.mjs.

Test

npm test        # offline, against a fake explorer

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
