What the code does

We read the source, 21 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

    execFileSync(cmd, ["--version"], { stdio: "ignore" });

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add bitcoin-mcp -- uvx bitcoin-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bitcoin-mcp": {

      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: BITCOIN_RPC_HOST (Bitcoin Core RPC host (default: 127.0.0.1)), BITCOIN_RPC_PORT (Bitcoin Core RPC port (default: auto-selected by network)), BITCOIN_NETWORK (Bitcoin network: mainnet, testnet, signet, or regtest (default: mainnet). Sets default RPC port if BITCOIN_RPC_PORT is not set.), SATOSHI_API_URL (Override the default hosted API URL (default: https://bitcoinsapi.com). The hosted API is used automatically when no local node is detected.), SATOSHI_API_KEY (API key for authenticated access to the hosted Satoshi API (get one free at POST /api/v1/register)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Bitcoin MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Bitcoin MCP?
Bitcoin MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package bitcoin-mcp was installed 221 times last week.
How do I connect Bitcoin 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 runs locally, so the command pulls bitcoin-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Bitcoin MCP?
The pypi package bitcoin-mcp was installed 221 times in the last week. Week over week that is +0%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Bitcoin MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 5 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
