## What the BlockDex MCP MCP server does

The BlockDex MCP MCP server provides eleven read-only tools for querying changing public information. Its directory tools search shadcn-compatible components, blocks, and hooks; published Claude Code skills, plugins, and marketplaces; agent instruction files; starter kits; and AI mobile-app builders. Results can include dependencies, install commands, quality scores, adoption rankings, or review-related details depending on the tool.

The server also covers current facts that are likely to change after a model's training cutoff. It compares AI model pricing and coding-tool routing, checks whether developer tools are still maintained, reports published pricing and free-tier limits for infrastructure services, and estimates monthly costs for a named stack. Two compliance lookups cover municipal website accessibility and nonprofit standing.

## How it works

Tools read live or recently collected public sources and return structured results. Search and comparison inputs generally accept filters such as a query, category, board, tool, access level, quality threshold, verdict, or result limit. The component search is intended for shadcn-compatible resources across dozens of public registries, while maintenance and pricing tools provide dates or evidence that help an agent judge whether information is current.

The accessibility lookup accepts a US local-government domain and returns an index grade, violation counts, failing rules, the applicable ADA Title II deadline, and a public report URL. The nonprofit lookup accepts an EIN and checks the IRS auto-revocation list plus California charity delinquency and suspension lists. Compliance responses separate the outcome from a receipt describing when and where the check ran.

## Setup and configuration

Install the package globally with `npm install -g openlookup`, or run it without a persistent install using `npx -y openlookup`. The default command starts an MCP stdio process. Passing `--http 8974` starts streamable HTTP at `http://localhost:8974/mcp`.

Claude Code can register the process with `claude mcp add openlookup -- npx -y openlookup`. Claude Desktop requires an `openlookup` entry in `claude_desktop_config.json`, using `npx` as the command and `-y openlookup` as its arguments. The package does not require an API key or account.

## Tools and capabilities

- Compare current AI model prices and observed routing by coding tool or budget band.
- Check release and commit activity before recommending a developer dependency.
- Look up service pricing and estimate a stack's monthly bill.
- Search component registries, agent skills, and public agent configuration files.
- Grade starter kits based on what is actually installed and wired up.
- Compare app-builder output against App Store review considerations.
- Retrieve accessibility reports for supported municipal domains.
- Check nonprofit status against the tracked IRS and California lists.

## Limitations and notes

The BlockDex MCP MCP server reports data from the sources its tools consult; it is not a universal compliance or pricing authority. A clear nonprofit result only means that the EIN was absent from the two tracked lists, and the accessibility lookup applies to the CivicBinder index and its stated coverage. An `unknown` app-builder verdict represents an unsettled question rather than a positive or negative determination.

The project was previously published as `compound-mcp`; that npm package is deprecated and points to this repository. Use `openlookup` for installation. The included health checks distinguish process startup, tool enumeration, endpoint reachability, and successful tool responses, but the README states that no deployed HTTP endpoint is available.
