Key features
- 01Query EVM transaction and token history
- 02Query UTXO transaction history and outputs
- 03Sync, activate, list, and delete addresses
- 04Filter history by timestamp
- 05Paginate large result sets
Use cases
- 01Inspect transactions and token transfers for an EVM address
- 02Review transaction history for a UTXO address
- 03Sync an address before querying its history
- 04Retrieve history in timestamp ranges or pages
MCP support
The MCP server exposes address synchronization and blockchain history queries as tools for MCP clients. It supports stdio and HTTP transports, and requires a Crypto APIs API key.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
npx -y @cryptoapis-io/mcp-address-historyCRYPTOAPIS_API_KEYSecretCrypto APIs API keyLocal servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

MCP Inspector
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npx @cryptoapis-io/mcp-address-history --api-key YOUR_API_KEY
n8n
- Start the server in HTTP mode:
npx @cryptoapis-io/mcp-address-history --transport http --port 3000 --api-key YOUR_API_KEY - In your n8n workflow, add an AI Agent node
- Under Tools, add an MCP Client Tool and set the URL to
http://localhost:3000/mcp
n8n in Docker:
localhostinside the container is not your machine. Start the server with--host 0.0.0.0andMCP_AUTH_TOKENset (see Exposing the server beyond localhost), usehttp://host.docker.internal:3000/mcpas the URL, and add anAuthorization: Bearer <token>header to the MCP Client Tool credential.
All servers default to port 3000. Use
--portto assign different ports when running multiple servers.
Available Tools
manage_address
Manage synced addresses for historical data access. Supports all EVM and UTXO blockchains.
Actions:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
sync | Sync a new address for historical data |
activate | Activate a previously synced address |
delete | Delete a synced address |
list | List all synced addresses |
evm_address_history
Query EVM address full history (requires synced address).

| Action | Description |
|---|---|
get-statistics | Get address statistics |

list-transactions-by-timestamp | List transactions from a timestamp |
list-token-transfers | List token transfers |
list-internal-transactions | List internal transactions |

Pagination
Most endpoints use cursor-based pagination:
// Response
{
"items": [...],
"limit": 10,
"hasMore": true,
"nextStartingAfter": "abc123"
}
Use nextStartingAfter value as startingAfter parameter in the next request.
Exception: list-unspent-outputs uses offset pagination:
// Response
{
"items": [...],
"limit": 10,
"offset": 0,
"total": 150
}
Configuration
For stdio transport, provide the API key at startup via CLI argument or environment variable. For HTTP transport, it can also be provided per-request via x-api-key header (see HTTP API Key Modes).
-
Command-line argument (recommended):
npx @cryptoapis-io/mcp-address-history --api-key {your_api_key} -
Environment variable:
export CRYPTOAPIS_API_KEY={your_api_key}
CLI Arguments
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
--api-key | Crypto APIs API key |
--transport | Transport type: stdio (default) or http |
--host | HTTP host (default: 127.0.0.1; use 0.0.0.0 to accept remote connections — requires an auth token with --api-key) |
--auth-token | Bearer token callers must send (Authorization: Bearer <token>); prefer the MCP_AUTH_TOKEN env var |
--allowed-hosts | Comma-separated Host header allowlist for non-loopback binds |
--port | HTTP port (default: 3000) |
--path | HTTP path (default: /mcp) |
--stateless | Enable stateless mode for HTTP |
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-keyrequest headers are ignored. - Without
--api-key: Each request must include anx-api-keyheader 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-address-history --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-address-history --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-address-history --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.

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.
