Amp MCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing developer-focused documentation for Amp - a high-performance ETL system for blockchain data. This server helps developers building applications on Amp by providing access to essential documentation, schemas, troubleshooting guides, and code examples.

What is Amp?

Amp is a high-performance ETL system that:

• Extracts data from various blockchain sources (EVM RPC, Firehose, Beacon Chain)
• Transforms it via SQL queries with custom User-Defined Functions (UDFs)
• Loads it into Parquet files for efficient querying
• Serves it through multiple query interfaces (Arrow Flight gRPC, JSON Lines HTTP)

This MCP server focuses on documentation that helps developers build applications using Amp, answer questions about Amp, and troubleshoot issues.

Installation

npm install @edgeandnode/amp-mcp

Or with pnpm:

pnpm add @edgeandnode/amp-mcp

Usage

As an MCP Server

Add to your MCP client configuration (e.g., Claude Desktop):

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

Or if installed locally:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "amp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/amp-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}
