Korean crypto channel stance + RAG Q&A + canonical entity/topic/event store.

Free public API + MCP server for Korean crypto narratives, daily AI briefs, channel stance, and AI personas.

Strengths

Bitcoin height, fees, mempool and peer data served live from two self-hosted nodes.

Two home nodes, a little miner, no company behind it. How to watch the network live, run your own node, and mine on your own block templates.

Strengths

Prototyping or a tutorial? Pick the one that needs no API key (both qualify).
Calling from a web page? You need CORS. Otherwise route requests through your own server or a serverless function.
Going to production? Favour HTTPS, a strong uptime record and a provider with clear rate limits and terms. Check each API's docs before you commit.
Still unsure? Both are free to try: send one request to each and compare the data you get back.

Neither needs an API key; you can call both straight away.
