# EVM MCP server
> Query balances, read contracts, and interact with Ethereum and EVM-compatible blockchains through the EVM MCP server for AI-assisted development.
**Deprecated.** Use the unified [Chainstack MCP server](/docs/chainstack-mcp-server) at `https://mcp.chainstack.com/mcp` instead. It provides node deployment, documentation search, and platform management in a single remote server — no local setup required.
The **EVM MCP server** is part of Chainstack's RPC Nodes MCP server suite, providing AI models with direct access to Ethereum and EVM-compatible blockchain networks. This server enables real-time blockchain interactions, smart contract calls, and comprehensive blockchain data queries.
## Repository
The EVM MCP server is available in the [chainstacklabs/rpc-nodes-mcp](https://github.com/chainstacklabs/rpc-nodes-mcp) repository, which contains both EVM and Solana blockchain interaction capabilities.
## Supported networks
The EVM MCP server supports all EVM-compatible networks available on Chainstack, including:
* **Ethereum** (Mainnet, Sepolia)
* **Polygon** (Mainnet, Amoy testnet)
* **BNB Smart Chain** (Mainnet, testnet)
* **Arbitrum** (One, Sepolia)
* **Optimism** (Mainnet, Sepolia)
* **Base** (Mainnet, Sepolia)
* **Avalanche** C-Chain
* **And many more** EVM-compatible networks
## Available functions
