Bitcoin MCP
Give your coding agent live Bitcoin network data—fees, mempool, blocks, mining, and price—without wiring multiple APIs by hand.
Overview
Bitcoin MCP is a MCP server for the Build phase that exposes 49 Bitcoin tools—fees, mempool, blocks, mining, and price—to AI agents with zero-config hosted API or local Core RPC.
What is this MCP server?
- 49 MCP tools covering fees, mempool, blocks, mining, and price for agent workflows
- Zero-config path via hosted API when no local Bitcoin Core node is detected
- Optional Bitcoin Core RPC with BITCOIN_NETWORK (mainnet, testnet, signet, regtest) and port auto-selection
- PyPI stdio package bitcoin-mcp v0.5.1 for Claude Code, Cursor, and similar MCP clients
- Override SATOSHI_API_URL and SATOSHI_API_KEY for authenticated hosted usage
- 49 Bitcoin tools exposed via MCP
- Server version 0.5.1 (PyPI bitcoin-mcp, stdio transport)
- Default hosted API URL https://bitcoinsapi.com when no local node is detected

What problem does it solve?
Agents lack reliable, structured Bitcoin network and market data unless you manually integrate RPC, explorers, and price APIs.
Who is it for?
Indie builders shipping Bitcoin-aware agents, CLI utilities, or internal ops chatbots who need many chain queries in one MCP package.
Skip if: Teams that only need a one-off BTC spot price in a landing page with no agent—or builders who require full wallet signing and custody inside the agent.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After registering the server, your agent can call standardized tools for chain and price facts from Core RPC or the hosted API without custom glue code.
- Agent-callable Bitcoin fee, mempool, block, mining, and price tool responses
- Configurable mainnet/testnet/signet/regtest RPC targeting
- Hosted-API fallback when no local node is configured
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Bitcoin chain and market queries land in the build phase when you are wiring backends, agents, and dashboards that need on-chain context. Integrations is the canonical shelf because this MCP is a protocol bridge to Bitcoin Core RPC and/or a hosted Satoshi API, not a standalone product skill.
How it compares
MCP integration for Bitcoin data, not a trading strategy skill or a hosted wallet product.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Bitcoin MCP for?
Solo and small-team developers building AI agents or apps that need structured Bitcoin fees, mempool, block, mining, and price data during coding and debugging.
When should I use Bitcoin MCP?
Use it while building or extending agent tooling whenever prompts need live network context instead of static documentation or manual RPC curls.
How do I add Bitcoin MCP to my agent?
Install the PyPI package bitcoin-mcp, add it as a stdio MCP server in Claude Code or Cursor, set BITCOIN_NETWORK and optional BITCOIN_RPC_* vars for Core, or SATOSHI_API_KEY for the hosted API.
