How to connect
How to connect Etherscan to Claude
The server address to paste into Claude settings:
https://mcp-keyless.etherscan.io/mcp
- Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
- Go to Settings → Connectors.
- Click Add custom connector.
- Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
- In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.
Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.
Authorization
After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.
How to connect Etherscan to ChatGPT
The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:
https://mcp-keyless.etherscan.io/mcp
- Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
- Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
- Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
- Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
- Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
- In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.
OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.
Authorization
On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.
How to connect Etherscan to Cursor
The server address to paste into Cursor settings:
https://mcp-keyless.etherscan.io/mcp
Fastest: click Open in Cursor below and confirm the prompt.
Manually:
- In Cursor open Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP and click Add new global MCP server.
- Paste the JSON copied below into
~/.cursor/mcp.json(per project:.cursor/mcp.jsonin the repo root). - Save the file. The server appears in the MCP list; authorize it there if asked.
Authorization
If the service needs sign-in, an authorize button appears next to the server in the MCP list.
Server tool list (16)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| get_native_balance | Get the native coin (e.g. ETH) balance of an address, in wei. |
| get_transactions | Get the list of normal (external) transactions for an address. |
| get_internal_transactions | Get internal transactions for an address, or by a specific parent transaction hash. |
| get_token_transfers | Get token transfer events for an address, optionally filtered by token contract. Select the token standard: erc20 (fungible, default), erc721 (NFT), or erc1155 (multi-token). |
| get_contract_source | Get the verified source code and metadata for a contract address. |
| get_contract_abi | Get the verified ABI (JSON) for a contract address. |
| get_contract_creation | Get the creator address and creation transaction hash for up to 5 contract addresses. The multi-kilobyte creation bytecode is omitted by default to keep responses small; set include_creation_bytecode=true to include it. |
| get_transaction_receipt_status | Get the receipt status of a transaction (1 = success, 0 = failed). Post-Byzantium only. |
| get_transaction_status | Get the contract execution status of a transaction (detects failed/erroring executions). |
| get_gas_oracle | Get current gas price recommendations (safe / propose / fast) from the gas tracker. |
| get_block_by_timestamp | Get the block number closest to a given Unix timestamp (seconds). |
| get_supported_chains | Get the chains / chain IDs supported by the Etherscan V2 API. In the hosted (proxy) deployment this returns a bundled snapshot shipped with the server, refreshed when the package is updated; in direct/stdio mode it queries the live chain-list endpoint. A chain's absence from the returned list is not proof that it lacks live support. |
| get_logs | Search event logs by contract address and/or topics over a block range. Topics are 32-byte hex values; topic0 is usually the keccak256 event-signature hash. Adjacent-topic operators (and/or) combine multiple topic filters. Provide 'address' and/or at least one topic. |
| get_transaction_by_hash | Get the full transaction object for a transaction hash (from, to, value, input data, gas, gas price, nonce, block number/hash, transaction index). Returns null if the hash is unknown. |
| get_transaction_receipt | Get the transaction receipt for a transaction hash (execution status, gas used, cumulative gas used, effective gas price, logs, and the created contract address for deployments). Returns null if the hash is unknown or the transaction is still pending. |
| render_etherscan_widget | Present exact facts returned by Etherscan data tools in a fast explorer-style card. Call the relevant Etherscan data tool first and copy only supported values into this tool. Never invent scores, risk labels, historical prices, forecasts, or audit conclusions. |
