  • The user needs raw blockchain JSON-RPC access — contract reads (ethcall)
  • SKILL.md covers When to use which tool, Networks, Recipes and Failure semantics
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Native balances

What it does

Rpc is an agent skill from BlockRunAI/blockrun-mcp. Use when the user needs raw blockchain JSON-RPC access — contract reads (ethcall), native balances, blocks, transactions, logs, gas estimates, or any chain-native RPC method across 40 chains. One endpoint per chain via BlockRun's Tatum-backed gateway, $0.0030 per call, no node, no API key. Prefer blockrunprice / blockrundex / the paid tools when they already cover the question.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs. It works with Ethereum, Arbitrum and Solana. The repository describes itself as: Live data for AI agents — search, research, markets, crypto, X/Twitter. Pay-per-call via x402 micropayments. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user needs raw blockchain JSON-RPC access — contract reads (ethcall)
  • Native balances
  • Any chain-native RPC method across 40 chains

Example prompts

  • “/rpc”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a7a9b3c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Rpc loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 390 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~97
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Multi-chain RPC — every supported chain, one tool

blockrun_rpc POSTs a standard JSON-RPC 2.0 body to /v1/rpc/{network}. Flat $0.0030 per call ($0.002 base + the $0.001 transaction fee). A JSON-RPC batch array charges per element but pays the flat fee only once — $0.002 × n + $0.001, so a batch of 3 costs $0.0070 where three separate calls cost $0.0090. Batch whenever you can. Settlement in USDC via x402. Responses are cached briefly server-side for identical read calls (X-Cache: HIT is free of upstream latency but still billed).

Recipes

ERC-20 balance (eth_call):

blockrun_rpc({
  network: "base",
  method: "eth_call",
  params: [{
    to: "0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913",   // USDC on Base
    data: "0x70a08231000000000000000000000000<ADDRESS_NO_0x_PADDED_TO_32B>"
  }, "latest"]
})

Native balance: method: "eth_getBalance", params: ["0x...", "latest"] Tx receipt: method: "eth_getTransactionReceipt", params: ["0x<txhash>"] Event logs: method: "eth_getLogs", params: [{ fromBlock, toBlock, address, topics }] — keep ranges small; huge ranges are rejected upstream (no charge). Gas: method: "eth_gasPrice" / eth_estimateGas

Solana token account: network: "solana", method: "getTokenAccountsByOwner", params: ["<owner>", {"mint": "<mint>"}, {"encoding": "jsonParsed"}]

Batch (charged per element, flat fee paid once — 3 calls = $0.0070, vs $0.0090 sent separately):

blockrun_rpc({ network: "ethereum", body: [
  { jsonrpc: "2.0", id: 1, method: "eth_blockNumber" },
  { jsonrpc: "2.0", id: 2, method: "eth_gasPrice" },
  { jsonrpc: "2.0", id: 3, method: "eth_chainId" }
]})

Failure semantics

  • Upstream timeout / 5xx → no charge, retry safe.
  • Malformed body / bad network → HTTP 400, no charge.
  • JSON-RPC-level errors (e.g. revert on eth_call) come back inside result.error — the call is charged (the node did the work).

Rpc is an agent skill from BlockRunAI/blockrun-mcp. Use when the user needs raw blockchain JSON-RPC access — contract reads (ethcall), native balances, blocks, transactions, logs, gas estimates, or any chain-native RPC method across 40 chains.

When should I use Rpc?

Rpc fits situations like: the user needs raw blockchain JSON-RPC access — contract reads (ethcall); native balances; any chain-native RPC method across 40 chains.

How do I install Rpc in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add BlockRunAI/blockrun-mcp --skill rpc -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/rpc in BlockRunAI/blockrun-mcp) into .claude/skills/rpc in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Rpc in Codex?

Run `npx skills add BlockRunAI/blockrun-mcp --skill rpc -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/rpc in BlockRunAI/blockrun-mcp) into .agents/skills/rpc in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Rpc in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add BlockRunAI/blockrun-mcp --skill rpc -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/rpc, .gemini/skills/rpc, .github/skills/rpc and .opencode/skills/rpc in your project.

What does Rpc need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Rpc is instructions for the agent only.

Does Rpc access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Rpc safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Rpc use?

Rpc is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Rpc use?

About 1.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Rpc?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Rpc: Use Usdc (circlefin/skills, 155 stars), Alchemy (BankrBot/skills, 1.2k stars), Quicknode (sendaifun/skills, 130 stars) and Bankr (BankrBot/skills, 1.2k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Rpc?

BlockRunAI (a GitHub organization) maintains it in BlockRunAI/blockrun-mcp, which has 392 GitHub stars. The repository holds 17 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 6, 2026.
