MCP Server Overview

The Moralis MCP Server is a local or cloud-deployable engine that connects natural language prompts to real blockchain insights — allowing AI models to query wallet activity, token metrics, dapp usage, and more without custom code or SQL.

Built on top of the Model Context Protocol, this server makes it easy for LLMs to talk to Moralis APIs in a consistent, explainable, and extensible way.

Key Features​

  • 🔗 Fully pluggable: Swap LLMs, customize retrieval logic, or extend with your own tools
  • 🧱 Works with OpenAI, Claude, and open-source models
  • 🧠 Powers agents, devtools, bots, dashboards, and beyond

When to Use MCP Server​

✅ Perfect for:

  • Enterprises with security/compliance requirements
  • Developers building deeply integrated AI apps
  • Teams wanting full control over data and model behavior
  • Custom LLM model usage (open-source, fine-tuned models)
  • Privacy-focused applications

❌ Consider Cortex API instead if:

  • You want to get started quickly without setup
  • You don't need custom LLM models
  • Infrastructure management isn't a priority

Common Use Cases​

  • 🤖 AI agents & assistants: "What's this wallet's trading history?"
  • 📈 Devtools: On-chain QA, testing, CLI integrations
  • 📊 Dashboards: Natural language to charts/data
  • 📉 Monitoring: Alerting & summarization for tokens/dapps
  • 🧠 Trading bots: LLM-driven strategies with real blockchain grounding

Architecture​

The MCP Server acts as a bridge between AI models and Moralis data:
