What can you do with Chainstack?
Chainstack MCP server
The Chainstack MCP server gives AI agents direct access to the Chainstack platform โ deploy blockchain nodes, search documentation, and check platform status from any coding environment.
Live at mcp.chainstack.com
Quick start
Type this into any AI agent:
get mcp.chainstack.com
The agent will fetch the onboarding page and walk you through setup. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Antigravity, Claude.ai, and ChatGPT.
Tools
No API key needed:
search_docsโ search Chainstack documentationget_doc_pageโ fetch full doc page contentget_platform_statusโ check platform status and incidentscontact_chainstackโ send a message to Chainstack (sales, support, or general questions)get_chainstack_pricingโ live pricing snapshot: plan tiers, feature matrix, add-ons, and the per-chain dedicated-node catalog
API key required (get one here):

Two ways to use
Option 1: Install as a skill (lean context)
Cross-agent, via the skills CLI โ it auto-detects your installed agent (50+ supported, including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Antigravity, GitHub Copilot, Pi, and OpenCode):
npx skills add chainstacklabs/mcp-server
This installs the bundled skills/chainstack skill.
Option 2: Register as an MCP server
VS Code โ Chainstack is in the GitHub MCP Registry, so VS Code installs it for you. Two ways:
- From inside VS Code โ open the Extensions view (
โงโX/Ctrl+Shift+X), search@mcp chainstack, and click Install. Right-click and choose Install in Workspace to write.vscode/mcp.jsoninstead of your user profile. - From the registry โ open the Chainstack entry and click Install > Install in VS Code.
Neither needs an API key, which covers every tool that works unauthenticated.
Anywhere else:
claude mcp add --transport http chainstack https://mcp.chainstack.com/mcp -s user
See full setup guide for all agents.
MCP registries
Listed in both public registries as com.chainstack/chainstack:
- GitHub MCP Registry โ the catalog VS Code surfaces in its Extensions view, with one-click install
- MCP Registry โ the official registry that MCP clients read from
curl "https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0.1/servers?search=com.chainstack/chainstack&version=latest"
server.json is the manifest. Its version field is a placeholder โ the publish workflow derives the real value from the live server card at mcp.chainstack.com, which renders it from the deployed chart, so the registry entry cannot drift from what is actually running. Query the registry, not this file, to see what is published.
