BICScan MCP server

BICScan MCP Server is a powerful API server that provides blockchain address risk scoring and asset information. It leverages the BICScan API to deliver comprehensive risk assessments for blockchain addresses, domains, and decentralized applications (dApps), with risk scores ranging from 0 to 100 (higher scores indicating greater risk).

Installation Options

You can run the BICScan MCP Server using Python with uv, docker, or uvx. Choose the method that best fits your environment.

Using UV

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10 or higher
• UV 0.6.x
• Git

Setup Steps

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ahnlabio/bicscan-mcp
   

2. Configure Claude Desktop by adding the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "bicscan": {
         "command": "uv",
         "args": [
           "--directory",
           "YOUR_BICSCAN_REPO_DIR_HERE",
           "run",
           "bicscan-mcp"
         ],
         "env": {
           "BICSCAN_API_KEY": "YOUR_BICSCAN_API_KEY_HERE"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

   Replace:

   • YOUR_BICSCAN_REPO_DIR_HERE with your actual repository path (e.g., C:\\Users\\ABC\\repo\\bicscan-mcp or /home/abc/repo/bicscan-mcp)
   • YOUR_BICSCAN_API_KEY_HERE with your BICScan API key

Using Docker

Prerequisites

• Docker environment

Setup Steps

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ahnlabio/bicscan-mcp
   

2. Build the Docker image:

   cd bicscan-mcp
   make
   

3. Configure Claude Desktop by adding the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "bicscan": {
         "command": "docker",
         "args": [
           "run",
           "--rm",
           "--interactive",
           "--env", "BICSCAN_API_KEY=YOUR_BICSCAN_API_KEY_HERE",
           "bicscan-mcp"
         ]
       }
     }
   }
   

   Replace YOUR_BICSCAN_API_KEY_HERE with your BICScan API key

Using UVX

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10 or higher
• UV 0.6.x
• Git

Setup Steps

1. Configure Claude Desktop by adding the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "bicscan": {
         "command": "uvx",
         "args": [
           "--from",
           "git+https://github.com/ahnlabio/bicscan-mcp",
           "bicscan-mcp"
         ],
         "env": {
           "BICSCAN_API_KEY": "YOUR_BICSCAN_API_KEY_HERE"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

   Replace YOUR_BICSCAN_API_KEY_HERE with your BICScan API key

Obtaining a BICScan API Key

1. Visit https://bicscan.io and register for an account
2. Navigate to your profile and click "Create App"
3. Enter a name and description of your choice
4. Copy your newly obtained API key and use it in your configuration
5. Restart Claude Desktop to apply the changes

Usage

Once properly configured, the BICScan MCP Server will be available to Claude through the Model Context Protocol. You can ask Claude to:

• Provide risk scores for blockchain addresses
• Check domain names for potential risks
• Analyze decentralized application URLs
• Retrieve detailed asset holdings for crypto addresses across multiple blockchain networks

The server performs real-time scans using the BICScan API to deliver current information on risks and asset holdings.

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "bicscan" '{"command":"uvx","args":["--from","git+https://github.com/ahnlabio/bicscan-mcp","bicscan-mcp"],"env":{"BICSCAN_API_KEY":"YOUR_BICSCAN_API_KEY_HERE"}}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "bicscan": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "--from",
                "git+https://github.com/ahnlabio/bicscan-mcp",
                "bicscan-mcp"
            ],
            "env": {
                "BICSCAN_API_KEY": "YOUR_BICSCAN_API_KEY_HERE"
            }
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this to your configuration file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "bicscan": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "--from",
                "git+https://github.com/ahnlabio/bicscan-mcp",
                "bicscan-mcp"
            ],
            "env": {
                "BICSCAN_API_KEY": "YOUR_BICSCAN_API_KEY_HERE"
            }
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
