Tools it offers

6 tools, as the server itself reported during our check on Oct 31, 2026.

  • calculate_solo_mining_oddsProbability of a solo miner finding a block, computed as a Poisson process over live network difficulty and hashrate, plus the electricity cost of the attempt. Returns mean time to a block, the chance of at least one blo
  • get_cost_of_productionCost of Production (CoP) for one Proof of Work coin: the all-in electricity cost of mining one unit on the most efficient hardware BackPow tracks for that algorithm, compared against spot price. Returns CoP in USD, spot,
  • get_coin_oracleCurrent network state for one Proof of Work chain, measured by BackPow's stratum collector nodes: difficulty, derived network hashrate, block height, block reward, protocol block-time target versus the latest observed in
  • list_pow_coinsPaginated index of the Proof of Work networks BackPow tracks, with algorithm, network rate, collector status and canonical page URL. Optionally filtered by algorithm or restricted to coins currently mining above cost. Re
  • get_hardware_benchmarksMining hardware matched to the coins it can mine, ranked by net USD per day at a given electricity rate. Covers ASICs, GPUs and CPUs, with hashrate and power draw per coin, gross revenue, net profit, and market price inc

Questions

What is the BackPow PoW Oracle MCP server?

Proof of Work oracle: solo mining odds, cost of production, hashrate, mining hardware. It is made by backpow.com and listed in the official MCP Registry as com.backpow/pow-mining-oracle. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI apps like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor use outside tools.

How do I add BackPow PoW Oracle to Claude?

In the Claude app or claude.ai, open Settings, then Connectors, choose "Add custom connector" and paste https://mcp.backpow.com/mcp. In Claude Code, run: claude mcp add --transport http pow-mining-oracle https://mcp.backpow.com/mcp

How do I add BackPow PoW Oracle to ChatGPT?

ChatGPT can use remote MCP servers as connectors. In ChatGPT settings, under Apps and Connectors, turn on developer mode if asked, create a new connector and paste https://mcp.backpow.com/mcp.

How do I add BackPow PoW Oracle to Cursor?

Open Cursor settings, go to MCP, choose "Add new MCP server" (or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json) and add: { "mcpServers": { "pow-mining-oracle": { "url": "https://mcp.backpow.com/mcp" } } }

Does BackPow PoW Oracle work right now?

Yes. It responded when we last checked on 31 Oct 2026. We check remote MCP servers every day.

What can BackPow PoW Oracle do?

It gives your AI 6 tools, including calculate_solo_mining_odds, get_cost_of_production, get_coin_oracle, list_pow_coins, get_hardware_benchmarks. The full list is on this page.
