Optimism MCP

What is Optimism MCP?

Optimism MCP is a Model Context Protocol server for the Optimism blockchain and the broader OP Superchain ecosystem. Optimism pioneered the optimistic rollup approach to Ethereum scaling, and its open-source OP Stack has become the foundation for chains like Base, Zora, and Mode.

OP Stack and Superchain

Optimism MCP supports not just Optimism mainnet but any OP Stack chain. This means you can use the same server to query Base, Zora, Mode, and other Superchain members by simply changing the RPC endpoint. The server handles chain-specific differences automatically.

Governance Intelligence

Optimism's governance system (Token House and Citizens' House) generates rich on-chain data. Optimism MCP can track OP token delegation, proposal voting, and RetroPGF funding rounds — valuable for AI-assisted governance analysis.
