ChainRPC MCP does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 0.0% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: EVM_RPC_URL (EVM JSON-RPC endpoint), BITCOIN_RPC_URL (Bitcoin Core-compatible JSON-RPC endpoint), ALLOW_EVM_BROADCAST (Explicitly enable signed EVM transaction broadcasts), ALLOW_BITCOIN_BROADCAST (Explicitly enable signed Bitcoin transaction broadcasts). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Available tools 18

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

evm
evm_broadcastTransaction
Preflight and broadcast an already-signed EVM transaction. Disabled unless ALLOW_EVM_BROADCAST=true; never signs or stores keys.
evm_call
Run a read-only eth_call with pre-encoded calldata. This never submits a transaction.
evm_estimateTransaction
Estimate gas for an unsigned EVM transaction. Values are accepted as decimal or hex quantities.
evm_getBlock
Read an EVM block by number, tag, or block hash.
evm_getBlockNumber
Return the latest EVM block number from the configured endpoint.
evm_getChainInfo
Return the EVM chain ID and upstream client version.
evm_getLogs
Read EVM event logs using an address/topics filter and bounded block range.
evm_getNativeBalance
Read an address native-token balance at an EVM block without requiring a wallet.
evm_getTransaction
Read an EVM transaction and its receipt by transaction hash.
evm_readContract
Encode, execute, and decode a read-only smart-contract function using a supplied JSON ABI.
btc
btc_broadcastTransaction
Validate and broadcast an already-signed Bitcoin transaction. Disabled unless ALLOW_BITCOIN_BROADCAST=true; never signs or stores keys.
btc_decodeRawTransaction
Decode a serialized Bitcoin transaction without broadcasting it.
btc_estimateFee
Estimate a Bitcoin fee rate for confirmation within a target number of blocks.
btc_getAddressBalance
Scan the Bitcoin UTXO set for an address and return its confirmed spendable outputs. This is not address history and shared RPC nodes may reject concurrent scans.
btc_getBlock
Read a Bitcoin block by height or hash with selectable verbosity.
btc_getBlockchainInfo
Return Bitcoin network, chain height, sync, and pruning information.
btc_getTransaction
Read a raw Bitcoin transaction by txid. A block hash can make confirmed transaction lookup more reliable.
btc_getTxOut
Read an unspent Bitcoin transaction output. Returns null when the output is spent or unknown.

ChainRPC MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can ChainRPC MCP do?
It exposes 18 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: btc_broadcastTransaction, btc_decodeRawTransaction, btc_estimateFee, btc_getAddressBalance, btc_getBlock, btc_getBlockchainInfo and 12 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 ChainRPC MCP mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around evm and btc. 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 ChainRPC MCP working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 94 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists ChainRPC MCP 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 ChainRPC 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 ChainRPC MCP need an API key?
No. ChainRPC MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 18 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How many people use ChainRPC MCP?
The npm package chainrpc-mcp was installed 30 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is ChainRPC MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 4 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
