Overview

AI-generated overview

Chainstack's remote MCP server lets an assistant deploy and manage blockchain nodes, search Chainstack docs, check status and pricing, and request testnet…

What you can do
  • Search and read Chainstack documentation pages, and check platform status, incidents and maintenance
  • Fetch a normalized snapshot of Chainstack pricing, plans and add-ons
  • List and manage projects: list, get, create, update and delete
  • List, inspect, create, rename and delete blockchain nodes, and list valid blockchain/cloud deployment options
  • List, create, update and delete node access rules (IP and Origin allowlists) and switch all rules on or off at once
  • Top up a testnet address from the Chainstack faucet, and send a message to Chainstack sales or support
When to use it
Useful when working inside an IDE or agent and you want to provision or inspect Chainstack blockchain nodes without leaving it, look up RPC methods and deployment guides, answer pricing questions, or get testnet funds for development.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint at mcp.chainstack.com; no local runtime. Documentation, status, pricing and contact tools work without credentials. Node and project tools need a Chainstack API key sent as an Authorization Bearer token in the client config.
Before you install
The API key is a secret sent as an Authorization Bearer header; the server asks that it not be pasted into chat. Creating and deleting projects and nodes, and deleting access rules, are irreversible and may incur costs. Activating IP or Origin allowlist rules can block clients, including servers and scripts without an Origin header. The contact tool posts to Chainstack's public contact form.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Chainstack in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.chainstack%2Fchainstack/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

README

Chainstack MCP server

The Chainstack MCP server gives AI agents direct access to the Chainstack platform — deploy blockchain nodes, search documentation, and check platform status from any coding environment.

Live at mcp.chainstack.com

Quick start

Type this into any AI agent:

get mcp.chainstack.com

The agent will fetch the onboarding page and walk you through setup. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Antigravity, Claude.ai, and ChatGPT.

Tools

No API key needed:

  • search_docs — search Chainstack documentation
  • get_doc_page — fetch full doc page content
  • get_platform_status — check platform status and incidents
  • contact_chainstack — send a message to Chainstack (sales, support, or general questions)
  • get_chainstack_pricing — live pricing snapshot: plan tiers, feature matrix, add-ons, and the per-chain dedicated-node catalog

API key required (get one here):

  • get_organization, list_projects, create_project, get_project, update_project, delete_project
  • list_nodes, get_node, create_node, update_node, delete_node, get_deployment_options
  • list_node_access_rules, create_node_access_rule, update_node_access_rule, delete_node_access_rule, set_node_access_rules_status — restrict a Global Node to allowed IP addresses or origins
  • request_testnet_funds — top up a testnet address from the Chainstack faucet (12 networks across EVM, Solana, and TON)

Two ways to use

Option 1: Install as a skill (lean context)

Cross-agent, via the skills CLI — it auto-detects your installed agent (50+ supported, including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Antigravity, GitHub Copilot, Pi, and OpenCode):

bash
npx skills add chainstacklabs/mcp-server

This installs the bundled skills/chainstack skill.

Option 2: Register as an MCP server

VS Code — Chainstack is in the GitHub MCP Registry, so VS Code installs it for you. Two ways:

  • From inside VS Code — open the Extensions view (⇧⌘X / Ctrl+Shift+X), search @mcp chainstack, and click Install. Right-click and choose Install in Workspace to write .vscode/mcp.json instead of your user profile.
  • From the registry — open the Chainstack entry and click Install > Install in VS Code.

Neither needs an API key, which covers every tool that works unauthenticated.

Anywhere else:

bash
claude mcp add --transport http chainstack https://mcp.chainstack.com/mcp -s user

See full setup guide for all agents.

MCP registries

Listed in both public registries as com.chainstack/chainstack:

  • GitHub MCP Registry — the catalog VS Code surfaces in its Extensions view, with one-click install
  • MCP Registry — the official registry that MCP clients read from
bash
curl "https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0.1/servers?search=com.chainstack/chainstack&version=latest"

server.json is the manifest. Its version field is a placeholder — the publish workflow derives the real value from the live server card at mcp.chainstack.com, which renders it from the deployed chart, so the registry entry cannot drift from what is actually running. Query the registry, not this file, to see what is published.

Parametersnode_idrequired

list_node_access_rules

List node access rules

List a node's access rules (IP and Origin allowlists, Global nodes only). With no active rules, the node accepts requests from any IP and origin. If correctly configured rules still return 403, that's a support case: offer contact_chainstack.

Parametersstatusnode_idrequiredrule_type

create_node_access_rule

Create node access rule

Add an IP or Origin allowlist rule to a Global node. New rules are deactivated and do nothing until activated. Active IP rules limit which client IPs can call the node; active origin rules limit which Origin headers it accepts. With both kinds active, a request must pass both. Everything else gets HTTP 403 within about 10 seconds. Rules don't affect the Chainstack API, so they can always be changed or deactivated with these tools. Before activating, confirm with the user that the IP rules cover every IP that calls the node (servers, CI, their own machine); you can't check this. Origin rules are for browser-only access: once one is active, every request without an Origin header (servers, scripts, curl) is blocked, even from an allowed IP. If an identical rule exists, it is returned instead of a duplicate.

Parametersvaluerequirednode_idrequiredactivaterule_typerequired

update_node_access_rule

Update node access rule

Change an access rule's value, or activate or deactivate it. A rule's type can't change; delete it and create a new one. Before activating, confirm with the user that the IP rules cover every IP that calls the node. Activating the first origin rule blocks every request without an Origin header (servers, scripts, curl), even from allowed IPs. Changing or deactivating a rule can block clients that only it allowed.

Parametersvaluestatusnode_idrequiredrule_idrequired

delete_node_access_rule

Delete node access rule

Delete an access rule from a node (irreversible). Deleting an active rule changes who can reach the node; the result says what's enforced afterwards. With no active rules left, the node accepts requests from any IP and origin.

Parametersnode_idrequiredrule_idrequired

set_node_access_rules_status

Activate or deactivate all node access rules

Activate or deactivate every access rule on a node at once. Activating enforces every rule within about 10 seconds: active IP rules limit which IPs can call the node, active origin rules limit which Origin headers it accepts, and a request must pass both kinds. Others get HTTP 403. First confirm with the user that the IP rules cover every IP that calls the node (servers, CI, their own machine); you can't check this. Origin rules block every request without an Origin header (servers, scripts, curl), even from an allowed IP. Deactivating opens the node to any IP and origin.

Parametersstatusrequirednode_idrequired

Parametersnetwork

contact_chainstack

Contact Chainstack

Submit a message to Chainstack's sales and support team. Use when the user wants to ask about pricing, get a custom quote, request a plan upgrade, request node customizations (Enterprise), report a problem, or reach Chainstack for any reason. Posts to the same contact form as chainstack.com/contact/. ## Before calling this tool CRITICAL — follow these steps EVERY time: 1. Draft the message based on your conversation context. 2. Show the user the EXACT message, email, and name you will send. 3. If the user has a Chainstack API key configured, tell them their org name and ID will be included so the team can find their account and reply faster. 4. Ask: "Shall I send this to Chainstack? Please confirm there's no sensitive information you'd like removed." 5. Only call this tool after the user explicitly confirms. NEVER include in the message: - API keys, tokens, passwords, private keys, wallet seeds, mnemonics - RPC endpoint URLs (Chainstack or any other provider) - Wallet addresses, transaction hashes, on-chain account details, or anything else the user hasn't explicitly approved sharing ## Writing an effective message Include what you know: what they're building and at what scale, current plan and usage, what they need, what they've tried, and specific numbers. Bad: "I have a question about pricing." Good: "Pro plan user running 200M RU/month across Base and Ethereum, evaluating Business plan for archive access and higher RPS. Looking for annual pricing or a trial." Not for incidents or urgent outages — point users to https://support.chainstack.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and https://status.chainstack.com. Not for feature requests — point users to https://ideas.chainstack.com (product) or https://github.com/chainstacklabs/mcp-server/issues/new (MCP server). Works with or without an API key; with one, the org info is attached.

Parametersnamerequiredemailrequiredmessagerequiredcategory

request_testnet_funds

Request testnet funds

Top up a testnet address from Chainstack's faucet. The faucet does not send a fixed amount — it tops the address up to the per-network maximum (e.g. 0.5 ETH for sepolia). If the address already sits above the cap, the call fails with an insufficient-balance error. Describe the behavior to the user as "top up" not "give", and surface the returned `amountSent` so they see the actual delta. One top-up per network every 24 hours: a repeat call for the same network is refused (429) if the same organization or the same address got funds there in the last 24 hours, and the error says when the next top-up is available. Other networks have separate cooldowns. A success is final even if the balance hasn't updated yet; track the returned `transaction` instead of calling again.

Parametersaddressrequirednetworkrequired

get_chainstack_pricing

Get Chainstack pricing

Fetch Chainstack's public pricing and return a normalized snapshot. Use this to answer pricing questions before quoting the user: plan fit, overage math, per-chain dedicated-node costs, and add-on pricing (Unlimited Node flat-fee tiers, Yellowstone gRPC streams, Warp transactions, dedicated-node base rates). This tool returns the menu, not the bill — the calling agent does the arithmetic. All prices are list prices in USD; disclaimers are surfaced in the `disclaimers` field. Per-method RU billing rules are NOT in these sources. Plan-level rates (Full Node = 1 RU, Archive Node = 2 RU) are in the markdown, but some EVM archive-state methods (eth_getBalance, eth_call, eth_getProof, eth_getStorageAt, eth_getCode, eth_getTransactionCount, eth_callMany, eth_createAccessList) and all debug_* / trace_* methods are billed at 2 RU on a full node when called against old blocks. For method-level detail, call `search_docs` with "request units" or `get_doc_page("docs/request-units")`. No API key required — sources are fully public. Each call fetches both sources fresh (no caching), so a stale result isn't possible. Returns: A dict with fields: - `pricing_markdown`: raw markdown from chainstack.com/pricing.md. Read this for plan tiers, feature matrix, add-on pricing, support levels, PAYG details, and provider comparisons. - `dedicated_catalog`: user-orderable per-chain dedicated-node SKUs with flavor, regions (as infra slugs like "sgp1"), hourly and monthly prices in USD. - `region_legend`: slug → city name for every region slug in `dedicated_catalog`; use it for display. - `disclaimers`: list-price caveats (Enterprise "from" pricing, etc.). - `sources`, `warnings`: per-source status; warnings are set when a source failed and the result is best-effort. - `fetched_at`: UTC timestamp of this call.

Takes no parameters.
