Overview

AI-generated overview

Read-only MCP server that lets an assistant inspect the Tari base layer (Minotari) via Tari's public text explorer: chain tip, blocks and coinbase data.

What you can do
  • Check the chain tip: latest block height, hash, time and mempool size
  • Inspect a single block: hashes, time, proof-of-work algorithm, coinbase total in XTM, and counts of outputs, inputs and kernels
  • List a block's outputs across every page, including type, commitment, hash and maturity
  • Read miners' coinbase extra data as text, optionally filtered to coinbases only
  • Switch between mainnet and the Esmeralda testnet on every call
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to answer questions about Tari chain state, look up a specific block, or find out which miner or pool produced a block, without leaving the chat.
Requirements
Runs locally as a stdio process via npx, needing Node 20 or newer. No API keys or environment variables. Network access to Tari's public text explorer is required.
Before you install
Read-only and keyless, so it cannot change or send anything. Queries go to a third-party public explorer, which sees the blocks and networks you look up.

Installation

In SourceWeft

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

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

README

ootlebook-explorer-mcp

An MCP server that lets an AI agent read the Tari base layer (Minotari, mainnet or the Esmeralda testnet) from Tari's public text explorer. Read-only, no keys, no dependencies beyond Node 20+. Inspired by kstrycharz/tariblocktools.

ToolWhat it answers
tari_tipthe latest block's height, hash and time, and the mempool size
tari_blockone block: hashes, time, proof-of-work algorithm, coinbase total, counts of outputs, inputs and kernels
tari_block_outputsa block's outputs, every page of them; coinbases include the miner's coinbase extra data as text (coinbase_only for just those)

Every tool takes network: mainnet (default) or esmeralda.

Use it

bash
claude mcp add ootlebook-explorer -- npx -y ootlebook-explorer-mcp        # Claude Code

Other MCP clients: run npx -y ootlebook-explorer-mcp as a stdio server. From a checkout: node explorer-mcp/server.mjs.

Test

bash
npm test        # offline, against a fake explorer

Tools

3

tari_tip

The tip of the Tari base layer (Minotari): the latest block's height, hash and time, and how many transactions wait in the mempool.

Parametersnetwork

tari_block

One Tari base-layer block: hash, previous hash, time, proof-of-work algorithm, total coinbase in XTM, and how many outputs, inputs and kernels it holds.

Parametersheightrequirednetwork

tari_block_outputs

The outputs of one Tari base-layer block: type, commitment, hash and maturity, and for coinbases the miner's coinbase extra data as text (often the mining software or pool). Set coinbase_only to see just who mined it.
