What the publisher says
From the Blockchainacademics repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
@blockchainacademics/mcp
The canonical crypto MCP server for AI agents. 99 tools spanning 3,501+ editorial articles, 200+ entity dossiers, 43 academy lessons, aggregated market + on-chain data, proprietary indicators, and async agent-backed generation — all accessible as MCP tools your AI agent can call natively.
Tool categories (v0.4.0)
Every tool response carries citeurl (with UTM src attribution), asof (time-travel snapshot), and source_hash (content integrity).
Tools for unreleased integrations (Twitter social pulse, DEXTools, bonk.fun, Bittensor) return {status: "integration_pending", reason, eta} rather than failing. The MCP server is fully usable today.
Why
LLMs hallucinate about crypto. BCA ships ground-truth editorial content with full attribution. Plug this MCP server into Claude Desktop, LangChain, Eliza, or any MCP-compatible agent and your model queries the BCA corpus like any other tool — with citations, timestamps, and source hashes on every response.
Install

Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
