Nova Tools

Nova8 min readMarkdown

In short

Nova Tools is the catalog of Nova's blockchain tools, run from the web dashboard or by AI agents over MCP or REST with x402 payment. Lists every capability, which are free or paid, and rate limits.

Nova Tools is a multi-chain blockchain toolkit — deepest coverage of Bitcoin and Stacks, plus 60+ EVM networks, Solana, TON, Sui, Aptos, and Hyperliquid — with a growing set of community-ecosystem tools (Nova is both a blockchain assistant and a community assistant). Run tools from the dashboard, or connect an AI agent via MCP or REST.

How to read this catalog

Nova ships one tool per chain for each capability, so the catalog is grouped by capability. Which chains each capability covers — plus the community-ecosystem tools (ZADAO, Emblem Vault) — lives in the Supported Chains coverage matrix. The live Nova Tools dashboard is the searchable, filterable source of truth.

Slug conventions. Slugs are chain-prefixed, so the canonical slug is <chain>-<capability> — e.g. stacks-token-price, evm-token-price, hyperliquid-token-price — and you can filter a chain's whole toolset by its prefix. Community-ecosystem tools use <ecosystem>-<capability> instead (e.g. zadao-bounties). Renamed Stacks/Bitcoin tools keep their old slug as an alias: the previous POST /api/tools/<old-slug>/run URL and the nova_<old_slug> MCP id still resolve, so existing integrations keep working.
