MCP support
The MCP server exposes read-only wallet screening, blacklist-checking, and fund-tracing tools to AI agents. It does not handle keys, signing, or transaction execution.

Details
From the project READMEScytheRadar MCP
On-chain risk intelligence for AI agents — read-only, bilingual (中文/English), and built for the Chinese-speaking agent ecosystem first. Screen wallets, check blacklists, and trace fund flows, with rug-pull forensics no other crypto MCP ships.
Read-only by design. No private keys, no signing, no transaction execution. The worst case is a wrong answer; your funds are never at risk.
Why ScytheRadar (vs the 15+ crypto-AML MCPs)
| We win where they don't | The gap we fill |
|---|---|
| 🀄 Chinese agent ecosystem first | First mover for Coze / Dify / Chinese Claude & Cursor users — bilingual tool descriptions and docs. Every competitor is English-only. |
| 🪦 Rug-pull forensics (death files) | 87+ rug-pull case files with autopsy reports, timelines, and scam-contract code breakdowns — not just a score, a case file. |
| 💧 TRON 脏U (dirty-USDT) focus | Tether's official freeze list (9,000+ addresses) + OFAC multi-chain sanctions — built for Asia's P2P/OTC "should I accept this USDT" reality. |
| 💰 Cheap, read-only, keyless trial | 6 free calls/day, no signup; paid plans from a few USDT. Built for retail users and small merchants, not banks. |
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
screen_address | Risk-screen a wallet address (0-100 score / level / verdict / risk flags) |
check_blacklist | Blacklist hit check (Tether freezes / OFAC sanctions / phishing) |
trace_funds | Fund tracing (flow / hops / aggregation / suspected laundering path) |
Language
Tool descriptions are bilingual (中文 / English), so Chinese-language agents (Coze, Dify, 文心, Kimi) call the right tool just as reliably as English ones. 工具描述中英双语，中文 agent 同样能精准调用。

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.
