What is Crypto MCP (Model Context Protocol)?

Crypto MCP is an open standard by Hive Intelligence that enables any AI agent to access blockchain data through a single, unified interface. It's like USB for AI-blockchain connections, providing native Web3 capabilities to AI models like Claude and ChatGPT.

How does Hive's Crypto MCP differ from traditional blockchain APIs?

Unlike REST APIs requiring custom integration for each blockchain, Crypto MCP provides one standard protocol for AI agents to discover, query, and interact with 60+ chains. It offers natural language processing, real-time data streams, and automatic chain abstraction.

Which blockchains does Crypto MCP support?

Crypto MCP supports 60+ networks including Ethereum, Bitcoin, Polygon, Solana, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Cosmos, and more. New chains are continuously added to expand AI agents' blockchain capabilities.

How do I integrate Crypto MCP with my AI agent?

Simply add our MCP endpoint (https://hiveintelligence.xyz/mcp) to your AI client. For Claude: Settings → Manage Connectors → Add URL. For other platforms, Hive MCP is compatible with Python, JavaScript, Go, Java, and Rust MCP client libraries for seamless integration.

Is Crypto MCP free to use?

Yes, Hive Intelligence offers free access to Crypto MCP with 10 calls/day for development. Production usage requires registration for a Hive key to enable higher rate limits and token-based credits.
