Stacks Devtools Catalog
A Devtools Catalog for Building with Stacks
Discover the full range of developer tools available for building on Stacks.
This page aggregates all open-sourced developer & experimental tools for building on Stacks. Tools vary in scope, maturity, and maintenance status. Whether you’re developing smart contracts, integrating wallets, querying blockchain data, or experimenting with new ideas, this page helps you find the resources to accelerate your projects and navigate the Stacks devtooling ecosystem.
Official Stacks devtools are built and maintained by either Stacks Labs or Hiro.

Indexing & Data
Stacks Blockchain APIs [Hiro] – High-performance APIs to query blockchain data, explore blocks, transactions, smart contracts, and more, without running your own node.
Token Metadata APIs [Hiro] - Fetch metadata for every token on Stacks and effortlessly put tokens into your app. Verify and display tokens in your app, for everything from DeFi to NFTs.
Bitcoin Indexer [Hiro] - Index Bitcoin meta-protocols like Ordinals, BRC-20, and Runes.
Chainhooks [Hiro] – A notification service for dApps that triggers webhooks on specific blockchain events, helping you respond to transactions, contract calls, and chain reorganizations in real time.
Community & Experimental
Chainhooks-Go-Client - A comprehensive Go client library for interacting with the Hiro Chainhooks API.
Signal21 - Data analytics platform for the Bitcoin Economy: on-chain visibility into Bitcoin L1, L2s, and Dapps.
Velar Devtools - Velar SDK and APIs allowing developers to implement token swaps, manage liquidity, and interact with the Velar DEX/DeFi ecosystem.
Bitflow Devtools - Documentation on Bitflow's SDKs and contracts for interacting with Bitflow's DeFi ecosystem.
x402-Stacks - A TypeScript library for implementing the x402 payment protocol on Stacks blockchain.
StacksAgent MCP - A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables Claude Desktop to interact with the Stacks blockchain.
AIBTC - AI agent tooling for Stacks.
Testing & Simulation
