Overview

Learn how to connect AI agents to Nansen

Connect your AI tools (Eg. Claude, Cursor) using Anthropic's Model Context Protocol, a standard that lets AI tools interact with Nansen data.

What is Nansen MCP?

Nansen MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to Nansen's institutional-grade blockchain intelligence platform. It transforms Nansen's onchain intelligence into an accessible interface that AI agents, developers, and researchers can use to analyze crypto markets and blockchain activity.

Core Offering

• MCP Protocol: Built on the standardized Model Context Protocol, ensuring compatibility with AI tools like Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible clients

• Multi-Chain Coverage: Supports 25+ major blockchains including Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, and more

• Real-Time Data: Provides access to live blockchain data including transactions, token movements, wallet activities, dex trades and PnL

Why Use Nansen MCP?

AI tools currently have no visibility into what's happening onchain. Even answering simple blockchain queries is extremely difficult without proper data access and context. Nansen MCP gives AI tools the ability to see and understand onchain activities, transforming them into powerful blockchain research assistants.

1. Real-Time Access to Nansen's Rich Data

• Access to Nansen's proprietary wallet labeling system with millions of identified addresses including smart money labels

• Institutional-grade data accuracy and reliability

• Real-time processing of onchain activities across multiple blockchains

2. AI-Native Integration

• One-click installation with Claude Desktop

• No need to struggle with complex APIs or documentation - everything works out of the box

• Build custom AI agents and LLMs with blockchain intelligence

3. Streamlined Research Workflows

• Saves time by wrapping complex workflows into simpler tasks

• Automate onchain research that would take hours manually

• Generate insights from multiple data sources simultaneously
