docs_search
Search body-level chunks across Avalanche documentation, academy courses, integrations, and blog posts. Returns source citations and matching excerpts.
onchain
onchain_activity
Time-windowed on-chain activity. scope=chain/address returns the transaction COUNT over the last `hours` (max 720h = 30 days; for longer windows use chain_stats series or onchain_query day-based ops) plus a recent sample. For a token/contract use scope=token (transfers). scope=primary covers P/X-chain and DEFAULTS to P-Chain when no blockchainId is given (so "last N P-chain transactions" just works). A value with no scope defaults to address.
onchain_lookup
PRIMARY lookup tool — use this (not raw RPC) to resolve/describe any on-chain identifier in one call: an EVM address (native + token balances, recent txs, contract metadata + isContract), a contract/token (metadata + deployment + recent transfers), an NFT (collection + tokenId), a tx hash, a subnet ID, a NodeID validator, a P-/X-Chain account (P-…/X-… → P-Chain balance), or a chain name/id. Use this for any address balance / contract-info / token / identity question. `kind` auto-detects; network is inferred from P-/X-Chain prefixes. Backed by Glacier + P-Chain RPC.
onchain_query
PRIMARY tool for indexed on-chain stats/activity/totals — prefer this over raw RPC for chain data. Each `op` is a backend-agnostic intent: the query gateway selects the most accurate live source per field (indexed DB / pre-aggregated metrics / Data API), stamps every field (`sources`), and flags any caveat (`warnings`) — relay warnings to the user, never present a flagged value as exact. Pick an `op` and pass its `params`; `chainId` is an allowlisted EVM chain (43114 C-Chain, 43113 Fuji, + L1s). Lookback: hour-based ops (chainStatsRecent/chainActivity/addressActivity) max 720h (30 days); day-based ops (chainStatsSeries/contractStats/chainGasTotal/protocolRanking/contractGasFlow/topUnknownContracts) max 365 days — use a day-based op for windows over 30 days. Ops: chainStatsRecent {chainId, hours≤720} — tx count/gas/fees/active senders/avg gas price over the last N hours; chainStatsSeries {chainId, days≤365, bucket: hour|day|week|month} — bucketed time-series of the same; addressActivity {chainId, address, hours≤720, limit≤100} — tx count + recent sample for an address in a window; chainActivity {chainId, hours≤720, limit≤100} — tx count + recent sample chain-wide in a window; contractStats {chainId, contract, days≤365} — tx/unique-sender/gas totals for a contract; protocolRanking {chainId, contracts[≤25], days≤365, orderBy: txCount|gasUsed|uniqueSenders|feesPaidAvax, dir: asc|desc, limit≤100} — rank a set of contracts; contractGasFlow {chainId, contract, days≤365, limit≤100} — gas received/given per counterparty; topUnknownContracts {chainId, exclude[≤25], days≤365, limit≤100} — top contracts by gas excluding a set; chainGasTotal {chainId, days≤365} OR {chainId, fromDate, toDate} — total tx/gas/fees over N days or a YYYY-MM-DD range (≤365d). Note: C-Chain gasUsed is gas-target-regulated → ~stable day-to-day even as txCount varies (expected, not a bug).
acp
acp_list
List Avalanche Community Proposals with structured fields, optionally filtered by status (Activated, Implementable, Proposed, Stale, Withdrawn) or track (Standards, Best Practices, Meta, Subnet).
acp_lookup
Look up Avalanche Community Proposals (ACPs) by number, title, or topic. When a number is provided the structured ACP record is returned (title, status, track, authors, cross-references).
console
console_flow
Builder Console flow knowledge. Call with NO `flow` to list every flow (summaries + deep-links); call with a `flow` key to explain it (ordered steps, equivalent CLI, whether it signs transactions, deep-link). Flows: create-l1, convert-to-l1, validator-manager, ictt, faucet, multisig, staking, transfers, interchain-kit-local.
console_link
Return a deep-link into a specific Builder Console flow (create-l1, convert-to-l1, validator-manager, ictt, faucet, multisig, staking, transfers, interchain-kit-local). For faucet on mainnet, returns a note that there is no mainnet faucet.
build
build_plan
Generate a step-by-step, copy-pasteable runbook for an Avalanche operation — Builder Console (no-code) path plus the equivalent platform-cli / SDK / interchain-kit commands. Read-only: never signs. operation: create-l1 (launch an L1); use ictt or interchain-kit for any CROSS-CHAIN / interoperability work — bridging tokens, sending cross-chain (ICM / Teleporter / Warp) messages, or connecting your L1 to C-Chain or other L1s (interchain-kit also lets you iterate locally first); validator-manager; staking; transfer.
chain
chain_stats
On-chain statistics via the query gateway, which picks the most accurate live source PER FIELD and stamps it (sources/warnings in the response). target=chain: tx count/gas/fees/active senders/avg gas price over a recent window (window=recent, `hours`, max 720h = 30 days) OR a time-series (window=series, `days`, max 365). target=contract: per-contract tx/sender/gas totals (`days`, max 365 — use this for contract activity beyond 30 days). target=network: current P-chain validator snapshot. IMPORTANT: relay any `warnings` notes to the user verbatim-in-substance (e.g. gas coverage windows or accuracy caveats) — never present a flagged value as exact. Note: C-Chain gasUsed is gas-target-regulated, so daily gas is ~stable even as tx count varies — expected, not an error.
cli
cli_lookup_command
Look up Avalanche CLI, Platform CLI, and tmpnet command guidance in the docs. Returns cited command references and task docs.
rpc
rpc_lookup_method
Look up Avalanche RPC methods and API guides across C-Chain, P-Chain, X-Chain, Subnet-EVM, and node RPC docs.

Avalanche AVAX MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Avalanche AVAX MCP do?
It exposes 48 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: acp_list, acp_lookup, avalanche_docs_fetch, avalanche_docs_list_sections, avalanche_docs_search, blockchain_get_contract_info and 42 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is Avalanche AVAX MCP mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around platform, info and blockchain. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Avalanche AVAX MCP working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 284 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is Avalanche AVAX MCP still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect Avalanche AVAX MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Avalanche AVAX MCP need an API key?
No. Avalanche AVAX MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 48 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Avalanche AVAX MCP?
It answers our handshake in 284 ms on average, which is faster than 48% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
