I built an open-source REST API for Bitcoin Core -- here's what it does

I built a free Bitcoin REST API. No signup, no API key needed for read endpoints. Just curl it:

curl https://bitcoinsapi.com/api/v1/fees/recommended

It is called Satoshi API -- 74 endpoints returning analyzed, structured Bitcoin data. Instead of just telling you the fee rate is 4 sat/vB, it tells you "Fees are low. Good time to send." It scores mempool congestion, analyzes blocks, and streams fee updates in real time.

**What makes it different:**

- **Free, no signup.** All GET endpoints work without an API key at bitcoinsapi.com.

- **74 endpoints.** Blocks, transactions, fees, mempool, mining stats, address lookups, and more.

- **Analyzed data.** Fee recommendations with context, congestion scores, block weight analysis.

- **AI-ready.** The only Bitcoin API with MCP support (listed on the official Anthropic MCP Registry), meaning AI assistants like Claude can query Bitcoin data directly.

- **Self-hostable.** `pip install satoshi-api` to run on your own node with full sovereignty. Apache-2.0 licensed.

This is a new project from a solo developer. I would love feedback from the community.
