Key Capabilities

• •Query addresses, transactions, blocks, and UTXOs
• •Broadcast transactions with multiple methods
• •Track BRC20 tokens, Runes, and Inscriptions (Ordinals)
• •Monitor mempool and estimate fees
• •Set up webhooks for blockchain events

Configuration

API Key Setup

This skill requires a Maestro API Key. Set the MAESTRO_API_KEY environment variable:

export MAESTRO_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc for persistence:

echo 'export MAESTRO_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Getting an API Key

1. •Sign up at Maestro Dashboard
2. •Create a new project
3. •Select Bitcoin as the blockchain
4. •Select your network (Mainnet or Testnet4)
5. •Copy the API key from your project dashboard

Network Configuration

The skill supports both mainnet and testnet. Set MAESTRO_NETWORK to switch:

# Use mainnet (default)
export MAESTRO_NETWORK="mainnet"

# Use testnet4
export MAESTRO_NETWORK="testnet"

Usage

Primary Interface: Shell Script

The main interface is through scripts/call_maestro.sh, which provides access to all 7 API services.
