Bitview and the Bitcoin Research Kit
This monorepo contains two layers:
Core data, RPC, mempool tracking, storage, domain types, and the on-chain price oracle.
- Bitcoin Research Kit (BRK): reusable Rust primitives for reading Bitcoin
indexer and analytics plugin graph, query layer, REST server, website, and generated clients.
- Bitview: the self-hostable application that composes BRK with a typed
Together they turn a Bitcoin Core node into a local Bitcoin data platform for chain exploration, mempool data, and on-chain research. The official free hosted instance is bitview.space.

Repository map
Each publishable crate or client owns its detailed usage documentation. The main README is only the map and common entrypoint.
Use Bitview
The hosted website, API, and MCP endpoint require no account or authentication:
- Website
- Interactive API
- OpenAPI
- MCP client endpoint: https://mcp.bitview.space/
- CLI
- JavaScript
- Python
- Rust
curl https://bitview.space/api/mempool/price
curl https://bitview.space/api/series/countThe series catalog is discovered at runtime rather than documented as a hard-coded count. Use /api/series/search?q= to find identifiers.
Self-host Bitview
rustup update && RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native" cargo install --locked bitviewd
bitviewdThe default composition requires Linux or macOS, a Bitcoin Core node with RPC and readable blk*.dat files, about 290 GiB for Bitview plus Bitcoin Core storage and growth headroom, and 16 GB of RAM recommended for a full sync. The website and API listen on localhost:3110.
