BrianKnows MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects Claude to BrianKnows’ blockchain knowledge base.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets AI assistants like Claude Desktop connect to external tools and data sources in a secure way while keeping users in control.

What does this server do?

The BrianKnows MCP server provides three main tools:

1. Ping Tool: Check if the BrianKnows API server is responsive
2. Search Tool: Query BrianKnows’ knowledge engine for blockchain and DeFi information
3. Agent Tool: Chat with the BrianKnows agent about DeFi protocols

Supported knowledge bases include:

• public-knowledge-box (default)
• circle_kb, lido_kb, Polygon_kb, taiko_kb
• near_kb, clave_kb, starknet_kb, consensys_kb

The server maintains a cache of your 5 most recent searches for quick reference.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18 or higher)
• Claude Desktop
• A BrianKnows API key

      "env": {
        "BRIAN_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
