About Evmscope
Evmscope is an EVM data toolkit for AI agent developers, traders, and researchers, available as a CLI or MCP server across seven chains. Its read-only on-chain tools cover prices, wallets, DeFi, and safety checks without API keys or initial setup.
Key features
- 01Query token prices, balances, and portfolios
- 02Compare gas and get swap or bridge routes
- 03Inspect yields, TVL, and whale transfers
- 04Check honeypot risks and simulate transactions
- 05Look up NFTs, governance, and block details
- 06Use CLI or MCP in read-only mode
Use cases
- 01Add live on-chain queries to AI agents
- 02Research tokens, wallets, and DeFi protocols from a terminal
- 03Compare quotes or assess token risks before a swap
MCP support
As an MCP server, it exposes 26 read-only on-chain tools across seven EVM chains to AI clients. It works without API keys.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Details
From the project READMEevmscope
한국어 | 中文 | 日本語 | Español | Русский
EVM blockchain intelligence toolkit. 26 tools across 7 chains — use as a CLI or MCP server. Token prices, gas comparison, swap quotes, yield rates, honeypot detection, bridge routes, tx simulation, NFT lookup, governance proposals, portfolio tracking, and more.
Why evmscope?
AI agents like Claude and GPT cannot access real-time blockchain data. Ask "What's the ETH price?" or "Show me this wallet's balance" and you'll get "I can't access real-time data."
evmscope solves this by giving AI agents direct access to 26 on-chain tools via the MCP protocol — token prices, wallet balances, DeFi yields, whale tracking, honeypot detection, and more. No API keys, no setup, just connect and go.
Who is it for?
| User | Use Case |
|---|---|
| AI agent developers | Connect as MCP server to give AI on-chain analysis capabilities |
| Crypto traders & researchers | Query tokens, wallets, and protocols directly from the terminal |
| DeFi users | Safety tools — honeypot detection, approval status checks, whale tracking |

- 7 EVM chains — Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Avalanche, BSC
- 49 built-in tokens — ETH, USDC, USDT, WETH, LINK, UNI, AAVE, ARB, OP, PEPE, and more
- 30+ labeled addresses — Exchanges, DeFi protocols, bridges, whale wallets
- Zero config — No API keys required. Works out of the box with free public APIs

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.
