OrdiscanMCP v1 MCP Server

ordiscan mcp

Installation

Add the following to your MCP client configuration file.

Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "calel33-ordiscan-mcp-v1": {
      "url": "http://localhost:1337/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "ORDISCAN_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

You run the OrdiscanMCP v1 server to access Ordiscan tools via an MCP-style interface. It provides an HTTP stream transport on port 1337 with real-time stream responses, direct API access to Ordiscan, and Bearer token authentication. This setup lets your MCP client query a comprehensive set of tools for inscriptions, runes, UTXOs, collections, and more, all with robust parameter handling and clear response formatting.

How to use

Start the MCP server and configure your client to connect over HTTP or via a local stdio integration. You can connect directly to the MCP endpoint at the provided HTTP URL for real-time streaming responses, or you can launch a local stdio-based MCP subprocess as described in the setup. Use your API key with every request to authenticate using the Bearer token scheme.

How to install

Prerequisites: make sure you have Node.js installed on your system. You will also need npm to manage dependencies.

Install dependencies and build the project.

npm install
```

```
npm run build

Configure your MCP client with the following example. This enables the client to connect to the Ordiscan MCP v1 server via the remote endpoint.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ordiscanmcpv1": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://your-deployed-server.com/mcp"  
      ]
    }
  }
}

Start the server to begin serving MCP requests.

npm start

For development with hot-reload you can run the development command.

npm run dev

Additional setup and notes

Authentication uses a Bearer token. You can provide the API key either as a parameter in each tool call (apiKey) or through the environment variable ORD ISC AN_API_KEY. All requests must include the header Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>. Ensure your API key is kept secure and rotated periodically.

Environment variables that are used by the server can be supplied as part of your MCP config for the stdio setup. The key variable to store your API key is ORDISCAN_API_KEY.

Security considerations

Treat your API keys as secrets. Do not hardcode them in your codebase. Use environment variables and rotate keys regularly. Implement proper error handling to avoid leaking sensitive information in error messages.

Notes

The MCP server exposes an HTTP stream transport on port 1337. You can also connect via a local stdio-based subprocess if you prefer running the solver locally with a command like npx mcp-remote ....
