What this is

Orion watches Celestia mainnet continuously and publishes a daily machine-written brief: what moved, what drifted from baseline, and why it matters. This kit exposes that analysis to AI agents over the Model Context Protocol.

Think of it as an analysis layer for the Celestia agent ecosystem. It sits alongside knowledge bases (which answer "what is CIP-21?") and raw-data or transaction kits (which list blobs or build a delegate tx). Orion answers a different question: what is happening on the network right now, is it normal, and how did we get here?

Every number the server returns carries a provenance link to the Celenium or Celestia LCD endpoint it was read from, so the agent can cite its sources — and so can you. The server is read-only: no wallets, keys, or transactions anywhere in it.

Tools

Today & anomalies

Trends & history

Live drill-down (straight from Celenium)

Resources & prompts

Beyond tools, the server exposes MCP resources an agent can read or subscribe to:

• orion://latest — the most recent daily report
• orion://reports — the archive index
• orion://report/{date} — any archived report by date

…and ready-made prompts to guide an agent:

• daily_celestia_briefing — produce a grounded, source-cited daily briefing
• rollup_da_check — survey who dominates blobspace and the current DA cost context

What counts as a signal

Orion's detectors are event-driven, not state-driven — a persistently dominant namespace or a steady utilization day produces no signal, so what you see is what actually changed:

• DA utilization & fees — per-block volume and fees over the last day vs the recent daily baseline
• Blob-volume z-score — statistical spikes/drops in data posted
• Namespace shift — only when the DA leader changes or its share moves materially
• Staking & concentration — bonded-ratio moves, Nakamoto-coefficient changes, new jailings
• Market & protocol — notable TIA price moves, active governance proposals, new celestia-app releases

Each daily brief is written by an LLM narrator and passes an automated citation check — every number in the prose is verified against the structured data before publishing.

Quick start — hosted endpoint (no install)

The MCP server runs at https://orionlabsone.cc/mcp.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http orion https://orionlabsone.cc/mcp

Cursor — add to .cursor/mcp.json (already included if you cloned this repo):

{ "mcpServers": { "orion": { "url": "https://orionlabsone.cc/mcp" } } }

VS Code — add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{ "servers": { "orion": { "type": "http", "url": "https://orionlabsone.cc/mcp" } } }

Claude Desktop / Codex / Windsurf / Cline / any stdio-only client — bridge with mcp-remote:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "orion": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://orionlabsone.cc/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Quick start — clone & chat

git clone https://github.com/orioninfra/orion-agent-kit
cd orion-agent-kit
npm install
claude   # Claude Code picks up .mcp.json automatically

Then just ask:

"Any anomalies on Celestia today?" · "What changed on Celestia since yesterday?" · "Which rollups post the most data right now?" · "How concentrated is the validator set?" · "When did the archive last flag block time?"

The bundled /brief and /signals commands wrap the two most common queries.

Run the server yourself

npm install
npm run start          # Streamable HTTP on 127.0.0.1:8791/mcp
npm run start:stdio    # stdio transport (for local MCP clients)
npm run smoke          # end-to-end check of the tools against the live API
npm run typecheck      # type-check the sources

Environment: PORT (default 8791), HOST (default 127.0.0.1), ORION_API_BASE (default https://orionlabsone.cc), CELENIUM_BASE (default https://api-mainnet.celenium.io/v1, used by the drill-down tools).

REST, without MCP

The underlying API is plain JSON, usable directly or via function calling with the OpenAPI spec:
