Read the Tari base layer (Minotari): chain tip, blocks and miners' coinbase data. Read-only.
Overview
AI-generated overview
Read-only MCP server that lets an assistant inspect the Tari base layer (Minotari) via Tari's public explorer: chain tip, blocks and coinbase data.
- What you can do
- Read 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, with type, commitment, hash and maturity
- Show coinbase extra data as text to see which miner or pool mined a block, 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, block contents or who mined a block, without leaving the chat. Suited to exploration and research rather than any write or wallet activity.
- Requirements
- Runs locally as a stdio process; needs Node.js 20 or newer and can be started with npx. Network access to Tari's public text explorer is required. No API keys or accounts.
Before you install
Read-only and needs no credentials, so risk is low. Data comes from a third-party public explorer, so results depend on its availability and accuracy. Block output listings can span many pages and may be large.
Installation
In SourceWeft
- Open Tari Explorer in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
- 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.
Every tool takes network: mainnet (default) or esmeralda.
Use it
Other MCP clients: run npx -y ootlebook-explorer-mcp as a stdio server. From a checkout: node explorer-mcp/server.mjs.

Tools
3tari_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.
Parameters
heightrequirednetworktari_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.
