evmcp

EVM + MCP — give your AI assistant blockchain superpowers.

MCP server providing real-time access to on-chain data across Base, Optimism, Avalanche, Celo, and Arbitrum, with companion smart contracts deployed on-chain for batch queries and cross-chain data.

How it Works

EVMCP implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a standard that lets AI assistants call external tools. When connected, your AI assistant gains 28 read-only blockchain tools it can invoke to query balances, decode transactions, compare gas prices, and more across five EVM chains.

What sets EVMCP apart is its companion smart contracts — four Solidity contracts deployed on Avalanche and Celo that enable batch queries via Multicall3, an on-chain tool registry, event aggregation, and cross-chain balance caching. The MCP server reads from these contracts; all write operations are performed separately by an admin CLI.

Companion Contracts

Four Solidity contracts are deployed on Avalanche and Celo. The MCP server reads from these contracts to provide batch queries, on-chain tool metadata, and cross-chain data. Base and Optimism deployments are planned.
