# Bitview (MCP server)

> Bitview is an MCP server that adds finance tools to AI assistants such as Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. Read-only Bitcoin blockchain, mempool, mining, market, and on-chain analytics; no API key. It has 176 GitHub stars, is released under the MIT license and runs as a remote server at https://mcp.bitview.space/.

bitviewmcp is a thin, stateless, read-only MCP adapter for the Bitview REST API. It exposes the MCP-visible OpenAPI operations as generated tools and forwards every tool call to the configured public REST origin as a GET request.
