Best for
  • Developers and analysts who want crypto market and DeFi data inside an AI client
  • MCP users wanting quick access to free market-data sources
  • Users of Claude Desktop, Cursor, or ChatGPT Developer Mode
  • Developers auditing NPM dependencies within AI workflows
  • Teams performing supply chain security assessments
  • Users of Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code
Not for
  • High-security scenarios requiring on-chain transactions without human review (write operations depend on PRIVATE_KEY)
  • Users seeking a server officially maintained by a blockchain platform
  • Users requiring explicit licensing guarantees (GitHub metadata shows NOASSERTION)
  • Projects outside the NPM ecosystem (e.g., pure Python/Go)
  • Environments without network access to deps.dev, OSV.dev, and the npm registry
  • Scenarios requiring maintenance by an official upstream vendor
Required permissions
  • Optional RPC_URL to connect to EVM nodes
  • Optional PRIVATE_KEY (secret) for signing transactions
  • Optional ALCHEMY_API_KEY (secret) for enhanced RPC access
  • The npm package executes third-party code via npx
  • Network access to the NPM registry and external services (deps.dev, OSV.dev, OpenSSF, npms.io, GitHub)
  • Read access to workspace lockfiles (pnpm-lock.yaml, package-lock., yarn.lock) for cache invalidation
Risks and side effects
  • With PRIVATE_KEY configured, the AI agent can execute real on-chain transactions and potentially lose funds; use a dedicated hot wallet
  • Storing a private key in client environment variables risks leakage
  • npx automatically executes third-party code from npm, a supply-chain risk
  • License metadata is NOASSERTION on GitHub; verify terms before commercial use
  • Many advertised capabilities (e.g., 380+ tools, multi-chain operations) belong to sibling packages in the monorepo and may not be part of this server. server
  • Third-party READMEs and changelogs are untrusted external content; they are wrapped in tags with _meta flags but should still be handled cautiously
  • Depends on availability and accuracy of external services
  • Batch requests are capped at 25 packages to prevent registry enumeration; larger sets require batching
  • Third-party open source project, not officially maintained by NPM or Anthropic
