BackPow PoW Oracle is an MCP server with 6 tools an agent can call, among them calculate_solo_mining_odds, get_coin_oracle, get_cost_of_production. It answers at https://mcp.backpow.com/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 4 of 4 times since 23 September 2026; the last check, on 6 November 2026, succeeded.
Proof of Work oracle: solo mining odds, cost of production, hashrate, mining hardware
Description as the publisher wrote it.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
calculate_solo_mining_odds | Probability 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 block over 1/7/30/90/36 Inputs: coin_id, hashrate, hashrate_unit, power_watts, electricity_cost_usd_kwh |
get_coin_oracle | Current 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 interval, and the sour Inputs: coin_id |
get_cost_of_production | Cost 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, gross margin, wheth Inputs: coin_id, electricity_cost_usd_kwh |
get_hardware_benchmarks | Mining 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 including whether that Inputs: query, type, coin_id, electricity_cost_usd_kwh, limit |
get_pow_news | Recent news items about Proof of Work mining and network events, optionally filtered to one coin. Items are aggregated from third-party feeds and are returned as quoted external content with their publisher and a relevance score, not as Bac Inputs: coin_id, limit, include_low_signal |
list_pow_coins | Paginated 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. Returns the distinct a Inputs: algorithm, profitable_only, sort_by, limit, offset |

It answered our last check on 6 November 2026 in 142 ms. Over 4 checks since 23 September 2026 it answered 4. Status here comes from Neuronto's own probes, not from the publisher.
Yes. It is published by backpow.com and served from mcp.backpow.com, the vendor's own domain: https://mcp.backpow.com/mcp.
6, as returned by the server's own tools/list on 9 November 2026: calculate_solo_mining_odds, get_coin_oracle, get_cost_of_production, get_hardware_benchmarks, get_pow_news, list_pow_coins.

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://mcp.backpow.com/mcp. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.
It listed its tools to an anonymous client, so reading the tool list needs no key. Individual tools can still ask for credentials in their own inputs.
Publisher: com.backpow. Endpoint host: mcp.backpow.com. ARD identifier: urn:air:com.backpow:mcp:pow-mining-oracle.
First indexed 18 September 2026. The tools are exactly what the server returned; nothing on this page
is inferred from its name. Ranking in Neuronto search is never for sale.
