Connect Claude Desktop to https://mcp.bitquery.io and query Bitquery's blockchain trading dataset in plain English — DEX trades, OHLC, market cap, and wallet history across Solana, Ethereum, BSC, Base, and more.

Setup​

  1. Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Connectors (or MCP Servers).
  2. Choose Add custom connector / Custom MCP server.
  3. Paste the server URL:
https://mcp.bitquery.io
  1. Save and restart Claude Desktop if prompted.
  2. When a tool runs for the first time, sign in with your Bitquery account and approve access. OAuth tokens refresh automatically (~30 days).

Example prompts​

  • "Top 10 Solana tokens by USD volume in the last 24 hours."
  • "1-minute OHLC for WIF on Raydium for the last 6 hours."
  • "Show every trade for wallet 7xKX… on Base in the last 7 days."

Frequently Asked Questions

What URL do I paste into Claude Desktop?

Use https://mcp.bitquery.io as the custom MCP connector. Sign in with your Bitquery account on first use.

Is the Bitquery MCP server free?

A free Bitquery account works to start. Usage beyond free-tier limits follows your existing API plan.

Can Claude send transactions through MCP?

No. The MCP server is read-only — it queries market and wallet data, it cannot move funds.
