What changes

Before BlockRun, Claude can't answer:

• "What's the current Polymarket probability that Bitcoin hits $100k this year?"
• "Find me the top 5 papers on RAG published in the last 30 days"
• "What are people saying about @sama on X right now?"
• "What's the 24h volume on the PEPE/ETH pair on Uniswap?"

After BlockRun, it can. Each query costs fractions of a cent, billed from a local USDC wallet. No subscriptions. No API dashboards. No key rotation.

Install

Claude Code (recommended)

claude mcp add blockrun -s user -- npx -y @blockrun/mcp@latest

The -s user flag installs globally (available in every project). The -- separator ensures -y is passed to npx, not parsed by claude mcp add.

Claude Desktop — add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blockrun": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@blockrun/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Hosted (no install, always latest)

Multi-agent budget delegation

Delegate a spending budget to a child agent with agent_id. The child is auto-blocked when the budget runs out — useful for autonomous agents that shouldn't run up unbounded costs.
