What is Moralis Cortex?

Moralis Cortex is an AI-native data layer for Web3, built on top of the Moralis Model Context Protocol (MCP). It connects blockchain data with large language models like GPT-4 or Claude - enabling you to query on-chain activity using plain English or structured prompts. Whether you’re building dashboards, bots, reports, or intelligent assistants, Cortex gives you the power of AI - grounded in real blockchain data.
