About Web3 MCP
Web3 MCP wraps the Ankr Advanced API in an MCP server for clients that need blockchain data across multiple networks. It covers NFT, token, and general chain queries.
Key features
- 01Wraps Ankr Advanced API endpoints
- 02Query NFT metadata and holders
- 03Retrieve blocks, logs, and transactions
- 04Check balances, prices, and token transfers
- 05Supports multiple blockchain networks
Use cases
- 01Find NFTs owned by a wallet
- 02Check token balances and prices
- 03Look up transactions by address or hash
- 04Retrieve blockchain statistics and logs
MCP support
It exposes Ankr Advanced API blockchain data through an MCP server, with tools for NFT, general query, and token data.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEWeb3 MCP
An MCP server implementation wrapping Ankr Advanced API.
Overview
FastMCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to Ankr's Advanced API for blockchain data. It allows LLMs to interact with blockchain data across multiple chains including Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Avalanche, and more.

Usage
Running the server
from web3_mcp.server import init_server
# Initialize MCP server
mcp = init_server(
name="Ankr MCP",
endpoint="your_ankr_endpoint", # Optional, defaults to ANKR_ENDPOINT env var
private_key="your_private_key" # Optional, defaults to ANKR_PRIVATE_KEY env var
)
# Run server
mcp.run()
Using with FastMCP CLI
# Set environment variables first
export ANKR_ENDPOINT="your_ankr_endpoint"
export ANKR_PRIVATE_KEY="your_private_key"
# Run the server
python -m web3_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.
