About TheGraph MCP Server

What is TheGraph MCP Server: Empowering AI with Real-Time Web3 Insights?

TheGraph MCP Server acts as a bridge between AI agents and blockchain data by providing indexed subgraph insights from The Graph protocol. This server enables seamless integration of real-time Web3 data into AI workflows, empowering developers to build intelligent applications that analyze decentralized ecosystems with precision.

How to Use TheGraph MCP Server: Empowering AI with Real-Time Web3 Insights?

Implementation Steps

  1. Deployment: Clone the repository and configure the server using the provided client configuration template, specifying environment variables like THEGRAPH_API_KEY.
  2. Tool Activation: Utilize the two core tools via API calls or natural language prompts: getSubgraphSchema to retrieve schema definitions and querySubgraph to execute GraphQL queries against target subgraphs.

TheGraph MCP Server Features

Key Features of TheGraph MCP Server: Empowering AI with Real-Time Web3 Insights?

  • Schema Intelligence: The getSubgraphSchema tool provides immediate access to subgraph structures in both human-readable GraphQL formats and machine-friendly JSON, ensuring AI agents can autonomously generate valid queries.
  • Dynamic Query Execution: The querySubgraph interface allows both AI-generated and manual GraphQL queries, supporting real-time analysis of on-chain events, token metrics, and liquidity data.
  • Streamlined Integration: Pre-configured deployment templates and API-first design reduce setup friction, enabling developers to focus on data analysis rather than infrastructure.

Use Cases for TheGraph MCP Server: Empowering AI with Real-Time Web3 Insights?

Developers leverage this server to:

  • Monitor DeFi protocol health via liquidity metrics and transaction patterns
  • Identify NFT collection trends by analyzing on-chain activity spikes
  • Validate smart contract interactions in real time for compliance checks
  • Train ML models using historical blockchain data snapshots

TheGraph MCP Server FAQ

FAQ: TheGraph MCP Server Best Practices

How does caching work for frequent queries?
The server implements LRU caching at the subgraph resolver layer to optimize repeated requests for the same data window.
What query limits apply?
Rate limits are enforced per API key, with 1000 requests/minute allowed by default. Contact support for enterprise allocations.
Can I use this with custom subgraphs?
Yes, the server supports any valid The Graph subgraph deployment URL as input parameters.

TheGraph MCP Server

An MCP server that powers AI agents with indexed blockchain data from The Graph.

GitHub License GitHub Last Commit Python Version

Available Tools

1. getSubgraphSchema

Fetches the schema of a specified subgraph, providing AI agents with the context needed to generate GraphQL queries.

Parameters:

  • subgraphId: The subgraph ID (e.g., "QmZBQcF...")
  • asText: Output format flag
    • true: Returns human-readable GraphQL schema
    • false: Returns JSON schema (default)

2. querySubgraph

Executes GraphQL queries against a specified subgraph. While queries are typically generated by AI, you can also manually craft your own.

Parameters:

  • subgraphId: The subgraph ID
  • query: GraphQL query string

Installation

  1. Clone the Repository

    git clone https://github.com/kukapay/thegraph-mcp.git

  2. Client Configuration

    {
    

    "mcpServers": {
    "thegraph-mcp": {
    "command": "uv",
    "args": ["--directory", "path/to/thegraph-mcp", "run", "main.py"],
    "env": {
    "THEGRAPH_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
    }
    }
    }

}

Example Prompts

Here are some natural language prompts to trigger the tools:

Schema Queries

  • "Show me the schema for subgraph QmZBQcF... in a readable format"
  • "What's the structure of the QmZBQcF... subgraph? Please display it in GraphQL format"
  • "I need to understand the data model of subgraph QmZBQcF..., can you fetch its schema?"

Data Queries

  • "Find the top 5 tokens by trading volume in the last 24 hours from subgraph QmZBQcF..."
  • "Show me all pairs with liquidity greater than 1 million USD in subgraph QmZBQcF..."
  • "Get the latest 10 swap events from the QmZBQcF... subgraph, including token symbols and amounts"

Analysis Tasks

  • "Analyze the trading volume of USDT pairs in the last week using subgraph QmZBQcF..."
  • "Compare the liquidity of ETH and USDC pairs in subgraph QmZBQcF..."
  • "Find unusual trading patterns in the last 24 hours from subgraph QmZBQcF..."

Combined Tasks

  • "First get the schema of QmZBQcF..., then help me write a query to find high-value transactions"
  • "Check the schema of QmZBQcF... and tell me what fields are available for querying token prices"
  • "Using subgraph QmZBQcF..., analyze the market impact of large trades by first understanding the schema and then querying relevant events"
