About Gas Fee Predictor

Gas Fee Predictor is a read-only MCP server for AI agents that need live Ethereum and Layer-2 transaction data. It offers hosted HTTP and npm stdio connections, with citations on every answer.

Key features

  1. 01Current Ethereum gas and ETH price
  2. 02Live fees across four Layer-2 networks
  3. 03Transaction timing and savings estimates
  4. 04Cost estimates for common transactions
  5. 05Hourly forecasts and gas history
  6. 06Citations linking answers to source

Use cases

  1. 01Compare Ethereum and Layer-2 fees before a transaction
  2. 02Estimate transfer, swap, or NFT mint costs
  3. 03Choose whether to transact now or wait

MCP support

Exposes seven gas-data tools to MCP clients through a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint, or five through the npm stdio package. The server is read-only and requires no API key.

Configuration

Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details

From the project README

Gas Fee Predictor — MCP Server

Live Ethereum + Layer-2 gas-fee data for AI agents, via the Model Context Protocol. Read-only, no API key, no account. Every answer carries a citation back to gasfeepredictor.com.

There are two ways to connect. Prefer the hosted one — there is nothing to install.


1. Hosted endpoint (recommended)

If your client supports remote MCP servers — ChatGPT and Claude connectors, Cursor, VS Code, and most current clients do — paste this URL and you are done:

https://api.gasfeepredictor.com/api/mcp

Streamable HTTP, unauthenticated, no install, no config file, nothing to keep updated. It exposes 7 tools — two more than the npm package (get_gas_forecast and get_gas_history).

Client config, if your client wants JSON rather than a URL box
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gasfeepredictor": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://api.gasfeepredictor.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Verify it yourself:

curl -s -X POST https://api.gasfeepredictor.com/api/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

2. npm package (stdio)

For clients that speak stdio only. Requires Node ≥ 18.

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

Claude Desktop keeps that file at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS. Restart the client, then ask: "What's the Ethereum gas fee right now, and is it cheaper on an L2?"

Notes

  • Read-only and unauthenticated — it only reads public gas data.
  • Upstream data refreshes every ~30–60s.
  • Served from api.gasfeepredictor.com, not the apex, so automated clients are not challenged by the CDN's bot protection.
  • MIT licensed.

Changelog

1.1.0 — get_current_gas and estimate_transaction_cost now fall back to /api/eth-price when the dashboard payload returns ethPrice: null (upstream price cooldown). Previously they rendered ETH ≈ $undefined or failed outright while the price endpoint was serving fine.

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.
