The Tatum MCP Server is a comprehensive blockchain API server providing access to 130+ networks and 59 tools across 7 feature categories.
With this server, you can:
Query Blockchain Data: Access wallet balances, transaction history, block information, NFT metadata, token ownership, and historical balances by block or timestamp for both EVM chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, BSC) and non-EVM chains (Bitcoin, Solana, Cardano, Tezos).
Create Notifications: Set up webhook subscriptions to monitor wallet activities and smart contract events.
Estimate Fees: Calculate transaction fees, gas prices, and optimal fees across multiple chains.
Interact with Smart Contracts: Deploy and manage ERC20, ERC721, and ERC1155 contracts.
Manage Security & Keys: Handle secure key management, transaction signing, and wallet generation.
Use Decentralized Storage: Upload and retrieve files using IPFS and other decentralized storage solutions.
Manage Virtual Accounts: Work with ledger accounts and transactions.
Execute RPC Calls: Make direct RPC calls to any supported blockchain network.
The server features a modular architecture with TypeScript type safety and IntelliSense support.
Provides blockchain data access for Bitcoin including native balances, transaction history, block information, and fee estimation.
Enables interaction with Bitcoin Cash blockchain, providing access to transaction data and blockchain information.
Offers tools for accessing Cardano blockchain data and transaction operations.
Provides access to Dogecoin blockchain data, balance checking, and fee estimation services.
Comprehensive Ethereum blockchain integration with tools for balances, NFTs, smart contracts, and gas estimation across mainnet and testnets.
Enables interaction with Fantom blockchain, providing RPC gateway access and gas fee estimation.
Supports decentralized storage solutions through IPFS for file uploads, content pinning, and metadata retrieval.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes the Tatum Blockchain Data API and RPC Gateway so LLM clients can query blockchain data across 130+ networks. Get an API key on the Tatum MCP page or dashboard.
Features
130+ Blockchain Networks: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Avalanche, and many more.
π Blockchain Data API: Blocks, transactions, balances, network info, and more.
π RPC Gateway: Direct access to blockchain RPC endpoints.
Requires Node.js 18+ and a TATUM_API_KEY.

Installation
npm install -g @tatumio/blockchain-mcpOr use without a global install:
npx @tatumio/blockchain-mcpPublished binaries: blockchain-mcp and blockchain-mcp-server (same entrypoint).
MCP client setup
Create a free API key at dashboard.tatum.io.
Add the server to your MCP client (Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"tatumio": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@tatumio/blockchain-mcp"],
"env": {
"TATUM_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}Do not commit API keys. Use environment variables in client config only.
Example prompts
Once connected, you can ask your assistant to use MCP tools, for example:
βWhat is the BTC/USD exchange rate?β β
get_exchange_ratewithsymbol: BTC,basePair: USDβShow Vitalikβs native ETH balance historyβ β
get_wallet_portfolio/get_transaction_historyonethereum-mainnetβWhat is the latest Ethereum block number?β β
gateway_execute_rpcwitheth_blockNumber
Chain identifiers use Tatum gateway names (e.g. ethereum-mainnet, bitcoin-mainnet). Call gateway_get_supported_chains for the live list.
