# 1scan - Blockchain Explorer API Gateway & MCP Server
A unified API gateway for integrating multiple etherscan-like blockchain explorer APIs with Model Context Protocol (MCP) support for AI assistants.
## Overview
1scan provides two main components:
1. **API Gateway**: A unified endpoint for accessing multiple blockchain explorer APIs
2. **MCP Server**: Allows AI models (like Claude in Cursor IDE) to directly query blockchain data
## Supported Blockchain Networks
**Apply for your own API key from the corresponding blockchain explorer**

## Features
- 🔄 Unified API endpoint for multiple blockchain explorers
- ⚖️ API load balancing
- 🔑 API rate limit management
- 🎯 Custom API key support via URL parameters
- 🤖 MCP server for AI assistants to query blockchain data
## Installation
### From Go
```bash
go install github.com/huahuayu/1scan@latest
```
### From Source
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/huahuayu/1scan.git
cd 1scan
# Build both 1scan API server and MCP server
make build
```
## Quick Start
### 1. Create Configuration File
Create a `config.json` file with your API keys:
```json
{
"1": {
"endpoint": "api.etherscan.io",
"keys": {
"YOUR_ETHERSCAN_API_KEY_1": 5,
"YOUR_ETHERSCAN_API_KEY_2": 10
}
},
"56": {
"endpoint": "api.bscscan.com",
"keys": {
"YOUR_BSCSCAN_API_KEY": 5
}
}
}
```
Each chain entry contains:
- `chainID`: The blockchain network ID
- `endpoint`: The API endpoint for the blockchain explorer
- `keys`: Map of API keys and their rate limits (requests per second)
### 2. Run the API Server
```bash
# Run with default settings
1scan -config /path/to/config.json
# Or using make
make run-1scan
```
### 3. Run the MCP Server
```bash
# Run with default settings
1scanmcp -config /path/to/config.json # default serve at port 3000
# Or using make
make run-1scanmcp
# With custom settings
1scanmcp -config /path/to/config.json -port 3000 -path /mcp
```
## Integrating with Cursor IDE
To use 1scan MCP in Cursor IDE:
1. Start both the API server and MCP server
```bash
# Terminal 1
make run-1scan
# Terminal 2
make run-1scanmcp
```
2. In Cursor IDE, go to Settings → AI → MCP Servers
3. Add a new MCP server with the URL:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"1scan": {
"url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp/sse"
}
}
}
```
4. Restart Cursor IDE if necessary
5. Now you can use blockchain data in your AI conversations:
```
Can you check the balance of address 0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc454e4438f44e on Ethereum?
```
## MCP Server Configuration
When running the MCP server, you can customize it with these parameters:
- `-port`: Port to run the MCP server on (default: "3000")
- `-path`: Path for the MCP server endpoint (default: "/mcp")
- `-config`: Path to configuration file (default: "config.json")
- `-transport`: Transport type (sse or stdio) (default: "sse")
Example:
```bash
1scanmcp -port 3000 -config /path/to/config.json
```

# Check if servers are running
ps aux | grep 1scanmcp
```
2. Ensure the correct URL is configured in Cursor
