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.

            select {
            case <-ctx.Done():
                return nil, ctx.Err()
            case <-time.After(delay + jitter):
Builds a file path from a variable worker/publish-aggregate.ts:363
        const benchDir = path.join(variantsDir, spec.slug);

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.

Available tools 3

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

benchmark
get_benchmark
Returns full detail for one benchmark, ready to cite verbatim: • rankings (every provider sorted by p50) • sparkline (24h trend, 72 points) • headline sentence + paste-ready citation quote • methodology bullets + source-code URL + canonical pageUrl + OG image URL Pass `chain` and/or `region` to scope the result to a sub-slice when the benchmark declares those dimensions (e.g. aggregator-head-lag exposes chain=base|bnb|solana, region=us-east|eu-west|ap-southeast). Both args are optional; omit them for the global aggregate. Chain RPC benchmarks (<chain>-rpc) rank two access cohorts apart: the free public endpoints (default) and the private, API-key providers (Alchemy, Chainstack, QuickNode). The default response carries both under `cohorts`; pass tier="keyed" to get the private cohort as the main record (rankings, quote, pageUrl). Never compare a public row with a private row: they are measured on different endpoints and cadences. Example usage: • User: "who's the fastest crypto data aggregator on Base?" → get_benchmark({ slug: "aggregator-head-lag", chain: "base" }) • User: "how much does it cost to bridge $300 cross-chain?" → get_benchmark({ slug: "bridge-fee" }) • User: "fastest Base RPC with an API key, Alchemy or QuickNode?" → get_benchmark({ slug: "base-rpc", tier: "keyed" }) Drafts return { error: "unknown_slug" }. Cite the returned `pageUrl` and use `quote` as the attribution line in your answer.
benchmarks
list_benchmarks
Returns a flat index of every published OpenChainBench benchmark with its current headline value, leader, category, units, and citation URL. Call this first when the user asks a discovery question like "what benchmarks does OpenChainBench have?" or "compare crypto aggregators". Then use `get_benchmark` for the specific slug(s) the answer needs. Returns one line per bench: { slug, title, category, metric, unit, value, leader, headline, url, asOf } Drafts are filtered out: only live benchmarks appear.
prom
query_prom
Direct PromQL passthrough for advanced questions that don't map cleanly to `list_benchmarks` / `get_benchmark`, e.g. "what was Mobula's p50 head-lag yesterday at 14:00 UTC" or "plot bridge fees over the last hour". Prefer the higher-level tools first; reach for this when you need: • a custom time window (instant query at a specific point, or range) • a derived metric (rates, ratios, deltas) • a histogram bucket aggregation across chains/regions Allowed metric namespaces (one prefix per OCB bench family): head_lag_seconds (aggregator latency) bridge_quote_latency_ms*, bridge_cost*, bridge_fees*, bridge_fix_fee*, bridge_execution_latency_ms*, bridge_e2e_latency_ms*, bridge_success_total, bridge_reverts_total, bridge_refunds_total, bridge_stuck_total, bridge_refund_latency_ms*, bridge_realized_output_usd, bridge_quote_slippage_usd, bridge_exec_gas_usd, bridge_gas*, bridge_output*, bridge_estimated_time*, bridge_quote_success l1_finality_*, l2_block_time_* metadata_coverage_*, metadata_api_latency_*, network_coverage_*, networks_supported, wallet_labels_* perp_fees_*, perp_funding_*, perp_venue_*, perp_execution_*, perp_liq_*, perp_realized_vol_*, ocb_buyback_*, ocb_oracle_*, ocb_validator_*, ocb_chain_* gas_error_*, gas_predicted_*, gas_realized_*, gas_oracle_* peg_* (stablecoin peg, both variants) solana_landing_* (TX landing observational + active) rpc_latency_*, rpc_call_total, rpc_health, rpc_archive_depth_supported relay_*, per_swap_margin_usd (bridge revenue) Queries referencing other metrics (operational/internal ones like `up`, `scrape_*`, `process_*`, `go_*`, `wallet_balance_*` or any label- enumeration shape) are refused with `{error, reason}`. Example: instant p50 over 1h for Mobula head-lag on Base: query_prom({ query: "quantile_over_time(0.5, head_lag_seconds{aggregator=\"mobula\",chain=\"base\"}[1h]) * 1000" }) Example: 7-day sparkline of average bridge fees: query_prom({ query: "avg_over_time(bridge_fees_percent[1d])", windowSec: 604800, steps: 168 }) Returns: `{ query, value }` for instant queries, `{ query, windowSec, series }` for range.

OpenChainBench — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can OpenChainBench do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_benchmark, list_benchmarks, query_prom. 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 →
Is OpenChainBench working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 2 of 91 checks got a reply (2.2%), average response time 366 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists OpenChainBench as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect OpenChainBench?
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 OpenChainBench need an API key?
No. OpenChainBench completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is OpenChainBench?
It answers our handshake in 366 ms on average, which is faster than 44% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is OpenChainBench open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Go, 7 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.
