BlockRun MCP
Real-time data for Claude — markets, research, X/Twitter, crypto. No API keys. Pay per call.
claude mcp add blockrun npx -y @blockrun/mcp@latest
Wallet auto-created. Fund with $5 USDC. Ask Claude anything.
What changes
Before BlockRun, Claude can't answer:
- "What's the current Polymarket probability that Bitcoin hits $100k this year?"
- "Find me the top 5 papers on RAG published in the last 30 days"
- "What are people saying about @sama on X right now?"
- "What's the 24h volume on the PEPE/ETH pair on Uniswap?"
After BlockRun, it can. Each query costs fractions of a cent, billed from a local USDC wallet. No subscriptions. No API dashboards. No key rotation.

Multi-agent budget delegation
Delegate a spending budget to a child agent with agent_id. The child is auto-blocked when the budget runs out — useful for autonomous agents that shouldn't run up unbounded costs.
How it works
Pay-per-call via x402 micropayments in USDC on Base. Your wallet lives at ~/.blockrun/.session. Private key never leaves your machine.
