Tools have disappeared from this server
A tool that vanishes takes a piece of your agent with it, and the change arrives silently. Watch this server and every such change lands in your inbox.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
address
get_address_poisoning
Whether an address was targeted by address poisoning: look-alike addresses that sent it dust, imitating an address it really paid or was paid by, so a careless copy from its history pays the scammer. Each finding names the look-alike, whom it imitates and the real payment.
get_address_rank
Where an address stands among the largest holders (exact within the top 10,000) and its share of the supply.
get_address_summary
Totals for an address: balance, total received, and how many transactions sent and received.
transaction
get_transaction
A transaction: confirmations, block, fee, inputs and outputs (is_change marks outputs paying back to an input address).
get_transaction_counts
How many transactions an address has sent, received, and in total.
get_transaction_status
A transaction's status: pending, mined, replaced (another transaction spent one of its inputs, as in a fee bump or double spend; replaced_by names it), dropped, or expired (Zcash). SoChain remembers a removal for about a day; after that, or for a transaction it never saw, the status is unknown.
balance
get_balance
Confirmed and unconfirmed balance of an address; with height or time, its confirmed balance at that point (for example at the end of a year).
get_balance_history
An address's confirmed balance by day, week or month, with what came in and went out in each and how many transactions did each. Without an API key at most 2,000 points (daily: the most recent days unless from says otherwise); with one, 20,000.
best
get_best_block_hash
The hash of the newest block.
block
get_block
A block by height or hash: time, transactions, size, reward, fees, miner.
chart
get_chart
A chart series: tx_count, fees_total, fees_median, block_size, difficulty, hashrate, supply, price_usd, tx_per_min, block_interval, mempool_txs, mempool_bytes, pool_share, holder_share, new_addresses, active_addresses, transfers, lookalikes, on LTC and LTCTEST mweb_pool (coins in MWEB) and mweb_flows (peg-ins and peg-outs), and on ZEC and ZECTEST zcash_pools (the value in each Zcash pool). Intervals: block (last 1,000 blocks), hour (90 days), day (full history), minute (last hour; tx_per_min and mempool series only).
counterparties
get_counterparties
Who an address moved significant amounts to and from lately (the window the poisoning check watches), newest first.
latest
get_latest_blocks
The ten newest blocks with their size, transaction count, reward and miner.
network
get_network_info
Current height, hashrate, and the mempool: waiting transactions, size, and projected next blocks with fee rates.
price
get_price
The price in USD (or another currency): the current price, or the UTC-day opening price for a past unix time.
rich
get_rich_list
The largest holders: the top 1,000 addresses by confirmed balance, with each one's share of the supply, transactions, first and last activity, and change over 24 hours and 7 days.
search
search
Classify a search string: an address, a transaction ID, a block hash or a block height.
transactions
get_transactions
An address's transactions, newest first (unconfirmed first), with the amount each one moved for the address and the price at the time (USD unless currency is given). Without filters, pages by number; with any filter (block or time range, direction), pages by cursor: pass next_cursor back until it's null (a short page with a cursor isn't the end).
unspent
get_unspent_outputs
The coins (unspent outputs) an address can spend, oldest first.
valid
is_valid_address
Whether a string is a valid address on the network.

SoChain — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can SoChain do?
It exposes 20 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_address_poisoning, get_address_rank, get_address_summary, get_balance, get_balance_history, get_best_block_hash and 14 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 SoChain mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around transaction, address and balance. 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 SoChain working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 527 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Did SoChain ever remove tools?
Yes. contact_support, get_account_info, get_bucket_balance, get_bucket_transactions are no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.
How do I connect SoChain?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does SoChain need an API key?
No. SoChain completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 20 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is SoChain?
It answers our handshake in 527 ms on average, which is faster than 24% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
