n8n

1. Start the server in HTTP mode:
   Terminal

   Copy

   npx @cryptoapis-io/mcp-blockchain-events --transport http --port 3000 --api-key YOUR_API_KEY
   

2. In your n8n workflow, add an AI Agent node
3. Under Tools, add an MCP Client Tool and set the URL to http://localhost:3000/mcp

All servers default to port 3000. Use --port to assign different ports when running multiple servers.

CLI Arguments

HTTP API Key Modes

When using HTTP transport, the server supports two API key modes:

• With --api-key: The key is used for all requests. x-api-key request headers are ignored.
• Without --api-key: Each request must include an x-api-key header with a valid Crypto APIs key. This enables hosting a public server where each user provides their own key.

# Per-request key mode (multi-tenant)
npx @cryptoapis-io/mcp-blockchain-events --transport http --port 3000
# Clients send x-api-key header with each request

Stdio transport always requires an API key at startup.

Important: API Key Required

Warning: Making requests without a valid API key — or with an incorrect one — may result in your IP being banned from the Crypto APIs ecosystem. Always ensure a valid API key is configured before starting any server.

Remote MCP Server

Crypto APIs provides an official remote MCP server with all tools available via HTTP Streamable transport at https://ai.cryptoapis.io/mcp. Pass your API key via the x-api-key header — no installation required.
