Glassnode MCP Server

A guide to using Glassnode's Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI agents.

The Glassnode MCP Server is currently in beta, and its tools are subject to change. Although this MCP server produces accurate data, it is possible that it could be misinterpreted by the LLM you are using.

Overview

Crypto on-chain metrics and market intelligence for AI agents.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing access to Glassnode's API. The server enables AI agents to access on-chain metrics, market data, and analytics.

For detailed information about the API and available data:

• Glassnode API Documentation

• Glassnode Metric Catalog

• Supported Assets

Features

• Asset and metrics discovery

• Metric metadata retrieval

• Single and bulk data retrieval

Tools

The server provides seven tools for accessing Glassnode data:

1. get_assets_list: Get a list of all cryptocurrencies and tokens supported by Glassnode

2. get_metrics_list: Get a catalog of all available metrics and their paths, optionally filtered by category

3. get_asset_metrics: Get metrics available for a specific asset

4. get_metric_metadata: Get detailed information about a specific metric's structure and parameters

5. fetch_metric: Fetch data (max 30d history) for a specific metric with customizable parameters

6. fetch_bulk_metrics: Fetch data (max 30d history) for multiple assets simultaneously in a single request

        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.glassnode.com",
        "--header",
        "X-Api-Key:${GLASSNODE_API_KEY}"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GLASSNODE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}
