Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
1scan - Blockchain Explorer API Gateway & MCP ServerCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Create a config.json file with your API keys:
{
"1": {
"endpoint": "api.etherscan.io",
"keys": {
"YOUR_ETHERSCAN_API_KEY_1": 5,
"YOUR_ETHERSCAN_API_KEY_2": 10
}
},
"56": {
"endpoint": "api.bscscan.com",
"keys": {
"YOUR_BSCSCAN_API_KEY": 5
}
}
}
Each chain entry contains:
- chainID: The blockchain network ID
- endpoint: The API endpoint for the blockchain explorer
- keys: Map of API keys and their rate limits (requests per second)
When running the MCP server, you can customize it with these parameters:
- -port: Port to run the MCP server on (default: "3000")
- -path: Path for the MCP server endpoint (default: "/mcp")
- -config: Path to configuration file (default: "config.json")
- -transport: Transport type (sse or stdio) (default: "sse")
Example:
1scanmcp -port 3000 -config /path/to/config.json
ps aux | grep 1scanmcp
```
2. Ensure the correct URL is configured in Cursor

A unified API gateway for integrating multiple etherscan-like blockchain explorer APIs with Model Context Protocol (MCP) support for AI assistants.
Overview
1scan provides two main components:
1. API Gateway: A unified endpoint for accessing multiple blockchain explorer APIs
2. MCP Server: Allows AI models (like Claude in Cursor IDE) to directly query blockchain data
Supported Blockchain Networks
