Forensics MCP Server

On-chain Forensics MCP server

Token due-diligence tools for any MCP-capable agent: ask "should I touch this token" and get a letter grade with a reason instead of a price chart. Zero dependencies, stdio transport, no install step.

npx -y onchain-forensics-mcp

Published on npm as onchain-forensics-mcp. If the registry is unreachable, the same code installs straight from GitHub: npx -y github:leohoudinisanders-byte/forensics-mcp.

Tools

Grades are computed by deterministic rules over live chain reads. No LLM sits in the decision path, so the same token grades the same way twice.

Install

Claude Desktop (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "onchain-forensics": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "onchain-forensics-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code:

claude mcp add onchain-forensics -- npx -y onchain-forensics-mcp

Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json) and any other client use the same command + args pair.

LangChain / Vercel AI SDK / custom runtimes: the server speaks newline-delimited JSON-RPC 2.0 on stdio, so it drops into any MCP client implementation. Methods implemented: initialize, tools/list, tools/call, ping.

Free developer key (10,000 calls/month)

curl -X POST https://api.onchainforensics.dev/functions/devKeys \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"email":"you@example.com"}'

The response contains a key shown once. Set it and every tool call becomes a plain data read with no payment signature:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "onchain-forensics": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "onchain-forensics-mcp"],
      "env": { "FORENSICS_DEV_KEY": "fxk_..." }
    }
  }
}

Payment

Every tool calls the free trial tier first. When that route's daily allowance is spent, the paid endpoint answers HTTP 402 and the tool returns the decoded x402 challenge (price, USDC asset, payTo, network) rather than an error, so an agent that can sign a payment proceeds and an agent that cannot still learns the exact cost.

• Pay per call: any x402 client against https://api.onchainforensics.dev/functions/<route>
• Prepaid keys (no signature per call): POST /functions/forensicsCredits {"plan":"pack1"}
