Install

Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

NPM package @aiindigo/btcfi-mcp
Claude Code
claude mcp add btcfi-api -e 'SVM_PRIVATE_KEY=<your svm_private_key>' -- npx -y @aiindigo/btcfi-mcp@3.0.1
JSON configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code)
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "btcfi-api": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "@aiindigo/btcfi-mcp@3.0.1"
            ],
            "env": {
                "SVM_PRIVATE_KEY": "<your svm_private_key>"
            }
        }
    }

BTCFi API

Bitcoin Intelligence API for AI Agents

Live at btcfi.aiindigo.com · Built by AI Indigo · GitHub


BTCFi API is an agent-native Bitcoin intelligence platform providing 80+ endpoints across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Lightning Network, Runes, and Taproot Assets. Powered by x402 micropayments — pay $0.01–$0.05 per query in USDC, no API keys or subscriptions required. CoinGecko integration provides multi-currency pricing (38 fiat currencies). AI agents discover endpoints at /llms.txt and integrate via MCP, SDK, or raw HTTP.

Free Tier

100 calls/day per IP — no signup, no API keys, just make a request:

curl https://btcfi.aiindigo.com/api/v1/fees
{
  "fastest": 12,
  "30min": 8,
  "1hr": 5,
  "economy": 3,
  "fastestUSD": "$2.40",
  "recommended": "8 sat/vB"
}

Quick Start

AI Agents (MCP):

npx @aiindigo/btcfi-mcp

SDK:

npm install @aiindigo/btcfi
import { BTCFi } from "@aiindigo/btcfi";

const btcfi = new BTCFi({ network: "base" });
const fees = await btcfi.fees();
const risk = await btcfi.intelligence.risk("bc1q...");

Raw HTTP:

# Free endpoint — no auth needed
curl https://btcfi.aiindigo.com/api/v1/mempool

# Paid endpoint — requires x402 micropayment
curl -X GET https://btcfi.aiindigo.com/api/v1/intelligence/whales \
  -H "X-Payment: <x402-payment-proof>"

OpenAPI Spec:

Authentication

BTCFi API uses x402 micropayments — no API keys, no OAuth, no subscriptions.

  1. Free endpoints — No authentication. Just make a request.
  2. Paid endpoints — Include an X-Payment header with a USDC micropayment proof.
  3. Payment networks:
    • Base (EVM L2) — Coinbase facilitator, zero fees, ERC-3009
    • Solana — NLx402 by PCEF (nonprofit), zero fees

Request signing (optional, for higher rate limits):

  • Wallet-based signing with Ed25519 (Solana) or secp256k1 (EVM)
  • Headers: X-Signature, X-Nonce, X-Signer, X-Timestamp

Free for Humans

  • @BTC_Fi_Bot — 38 commands + inline mode: /start /help /price /whale /fear /hash /mempool /halving /etf /funding /dominance /mining /lightning /signal /l2 /block /mvrv /sopr /nupl /entity /portfolio /staking /threat /eth_addr /sol_addr /digest /alerts /watch /unwatch /watchlist /runes /ordinals /taproot /cluster /graph /batch /webhooks /premium
  • @BTCFi_Whales — Real-time whale transaction alerts, auto-posted every 15 min
  • Web Dashboard — Live BTC price, fees, mempool, address lookup, whale watch

Security

  • Wallet-based request signing (Ed25519 + secp256k1)
  • Encrypted responses (Curve25519 + XSalsa20-Poly1305)
  • Zero-knowledge proofs (Groth16)
  • 8 YARA-style threat detection patterns
  • Nonce replay protection
  • PEAC Protocol cryptographic receipts
  • Tiered rate limiting (free: 100/min, signed: 500/min, paid: unlimited)
