Gas Fee Predictor
Live Ethereum and L2 gas fees: current gas, cheapest L2, forecast, ETH price, cost estimates.
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).
claude mcp add --transport http gas-fee-predictor 'https://api.gasfeepredictor.com/api/mcp'
{
"mcpServers": {
"gas-fee-predictor": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://api.gasfeepredictor.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}
gasfeepredictor-mcpclaude mcp add gas-fee-predictor -- npx -y gasfeepredictor-mcp@1.0.1
{
"mcpServers": {
"gas-fee-predictor": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [

Gas Fee Predictor — MCP Server
Live Ethereum + Layer-2 gas-fee data for AI agents, via the Model Context Protocol. Read-only, no API key, no account. Every answer carries a citation back to gasfeepredictor.com.
There are two ways to connect. Prefer the hosted one — there is nothing to install.
1. Hosted endpoint (recommended)
If your client supports remote MCP servers — ChatGPT and Claude connectors, Cursor, VS Code, and most current clients do — paste this URL and you are done:
https://api.gasfeepredictor.com/api/mcp
Streamable HTTP, unauthenticated, no install, no config file, nothing to keep updated.
It exposes 7 tools — two more than the npm package (get_gas_forecast and
get_gas_history).
Client config, if your client wants JSON rather than a URL box
{
"mcpServers": {
"gasfeepredictor": {
"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "https://api.gasfeepredictor.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}
Verify it yourself:
curl -s -X POST https://api.gasfeepredictor.com/api/mcp \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'
2. npm package (stdio)
For clients that speak stdio only. Requires Node ≥ 18.
{
"mcpServers": {
"gasfeepredictor": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "gasfeepredictor-mcp"]
}
}
}
Claude Desktop keeps that file at
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS.
Restart the client, then ask: "What's the Ethereum gas fee right now, and is it
cheaper on an L2?"
| Env var | Default | Purpose |

Notes
- Read-only and unauthenticated — it only reads public gas data.
- Upstream data refreshes every ~30–60s.
- Served from
api.gasfeepredictor.com, not the apex, so automated clients are not challenged by the CDN's bot protection. - MIT licensed.
Changelog
1.1.0 — get_current_gas and estimate_transaction_cost now fall back to
/api/eth-price when the dashboard payload returns ethPrice: null (upstream price
cooldown). Previously they rendered ETH ≈ $undefined or failed outright while the
price endpoint was serving fine.
