Solscan MCP: MCP server, setup and security
Solscan MCP is an MCP server published on GitHub that lets an AI agent query Solana transaction data through the available Solscan API. Its repository has 48 stars and its last commit is from August 15, 2025, but it declares no licence.
What Solscan MCP does
According to its repository: “Query Solana transactions via the Solscan API.”
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard plug between an AI agent and an outside service: once the server is connected, its tools show up in the agent, which decides when to call them. Solscan MCP is listed under Finance and payments, a category of 202 servers in the directory, where it ranks #55 by stars.
Topics declared by the repository: crate, crates, mcp-client, rust, solana, solana-sdk.
Installing and connecting Solscan MCP
No package or remote server is declared in the official MCP registry: you install it from source, following the repository README.
It works with any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and most recent agents). You add one entry to the client's MCP configuration: server name, start command or URL, environment variables. Project language: Rust.
Security: what to check
Connecting an MCP server means installing software that talks straight to your agent: it runs with your rights and the model trusts its tool descriptions. The risk therefore depends on what it can touch and how far its code can be trusted.
Points found for Solscan MCP:
- No licence: without a licence the code is not legally reusable, even if it is public. Avoid it in a company setting without the author's agreement.
- Maintenance: no commit for 14 months. Possible flaws and protocol changes are no longer tracked.
Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.
Project activity and maintenance
Created on April 10, 2025, the wowinter13/solscan-mcp repository has 48 stars and 18 forks, with 0 open issues. It has more stars than 51% of the servers in the directory. Last change 14 months ago.
Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
Verdict
Solscan MCP is still a modest project: read its code and compare it with the alternatives before using it.
