Frequently Asked Questions about Blocknative MCP Server

Q: What is the Blocknative MCP Server?

A: The Blocknative MCP Server is a tool that provides real-time gas price predictions across multiple blockchains, powered by Blocknative. It helps users optimize transaction costs by providing insights into current and future gas prices.

Q: What are the key features of the Blocknative MCP Server?

A: Key features include:

• predict_gas_price: Fetches gas price predictions for a specified chain.
• estimate_gas_cost: Estimates transaction costs based on gas limit and confidence level.
• get_supported_chains: Lists supported blockchains.
• gas_price_query: A prompt template for querying gas prices.
• Asynchronous operations for efficient performance.
• Optional API key support for varying usage frequencies.

Q: What blockchains does the MCP Server support?

A: The server supports multiple blockchains, including Ethereum Mainnet, Polygon, Base, and Ethereum Sepolia. You can use the get_supported_chains tool to get a complete list.

Q: Do I need a Blocknative API key to use the MCP Server?

A: A Blocknative API key is optional. It is recommended for high-frequency API access. For low-frequency use, you can skip setting the API key.

Q: How do I install the Blocknative MCP Server?

A: Installation involves cloning the repository, setting up the project with uv, and optionally setting the Blocknative API key. Refer to the installation instructions in the documentation for detailed steps.

Q: How do I use the predict_gas_price tool?

A: You can use the predict_gas_price tool by specifying the chain ID. For example, predict_gas_price(chain_id: int = 1) fetches gas price predictions for Ethereum Mainnet.

Q: What does the estimate_gas_cost tool do?

A: The estimate_gas_cost tool estimates transaction costs based on gas limit, confidence level, and chain ID. It returns costs in Gwei and ETH.

Q: How can I integrate the Blocknative MCP Server with UBOS?

A: You can integrate the Blocknative MCP Server with UBOS to create AI agents that automatically optimize blockchain transactions based on real-time gas price predictions. This can be achieved by connecting the server’s API to UBOS’s AI agent orchestration capabilities.

Q: Where can I find the license information for the Blocknative MCP Server?

A: The project is licensed under the MIT License. See the LICENSE file in the repository for details.

Q: How can the Blocknative MCP Server help my business?

A: The Blocknative MCP Server helps businesses by optimizing transaction costs, improving efficiency, and enabling informed decision-making in blockchain operations. By integrating with platforms like UBOS, you can unlock even greater potential through AI-driven automation.
