Frequently asked questions

1

What API key is needed?

You must obtain an Etherscan API key from [etherscan.io/myapikey](https://etherscan.io/myapikey) and set it as the `ETHERSCAN_API_KEY` environment variable.

2

What chains does the server support?

It supports over 50 chains via Etherscan API V2. See the [supported chains list](https://docs.etherscan.io/etherscan-v2/getting-started/supported-chains) for details.

3

How does the server communicate with clients?

Two modes are available: default stdin/stdout for direct MCP integration, and SSE mode with `--sse` that listens on HTTP (default port 4000).

4

Can I use it with Cursor or similar tools?

Yes. Configure it under `mcpServers` in your editor’s MCP settings JSON, setting the command or URL and passing `ETHERSCAN_API_KEY` as an environment variable.

5

Are there any runtime dependencies besides the API key?

The only required dependency is an Etherscan API key. The server is built from Go source, but no Go runtime is needed after building the binary.
