The beaconcha.in documentation is available as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, powered by Mintlify. This allows you to integrate our knowledge base directly with AI assistants and development environments that support MCP.

​
What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI assistants to securely connect to external data sources and tools. By using our MCP server, you can give your AI assistant direct access to beaconcha.in documentation, enabling it to provide more accurate and contextual answers about Ethereum staking, validators, and our API.
