Algorand MCP Implementation

Overview

Model context protocol or MCP, is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. MCP provides specification standards to give LLMs tools, resources and instructions to be more useful and effective.

MCP Github contains more information and different tools and specifications plus documentation of MCP.

This repository is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation for Algorand blockchain interactions. The implementation consists of:

• (PRODUCTION) A server package for blockchain interactions (Node.js only)
• (WIP) A client package for wallet management and transaction signing (supports both browser and Node.js)

📦 Packages in this repository:

• Algorand MCP Server - Algorand MCP server full implementation.
• Algorand MCP Client - Algorand MCP Client for client side Wallet management and transaction signing, as well as integration by other Agent hosts.

📦 NPM:

• Algorand MCP Server NPM package - Algorand MCP server implementation via NPM package installation.

📦 Smithery:

• Algorand MCP Server on Smithery - Algorand MCP server implementation via smithery.

Features

• Complete Algorand Documentation Integration
  • Full Algorand knowledge taxonomy
  • Comprehensive developer documentation
  • ARCs, SDKs, and tools documentation
  • Direct document access via knowledge tool
• Complete Algorand blockchain interaction capabilities
• Extensive wallet management system
• Comprehensive transaction handling
• Rich blockchain state querying
• Built-in security features
• Support for Claude Desktop and Cursor integration

Requirements

• Node.js v23.6.1 or later
• npm v10.2.4 or later

Installation

Via NPM (for developers who wish to run their own instances)

# Install both client and server packages
npm install algorand-mcp

Via Smithery (For all users)

Via Smithery (for Claude Desktop)

Simply run this command in the terminal:

npx -y @smithery/cli@latest install @GoPlausible/algorand-mcp --client claude --config "{\"NFD_API_KEY\":\"\",\"NFD_API_URL\":\"https://api.nf.domains\",\"ALGORAND_ALGOD\":\"https://testnet-api.algonode.cloud\",\"ALGORAND_TOKEN\":\"\",\"ITEMS_PER_PAGE\":\"10\",\"VESTIGE_API_KEY\":\"\",\"VESTIGE_API_URL\":\"https://api.vestigelabs.org\",\"ALGORAND_INDEXER\":\"https://testnet-idx.algonode.cloud\",\"ALGORAND_NETWORK\":\"testnet\",\"ALGORAND_ALGOD_API\":\"https://testnet-api.algonode.cloud/v2\",\"ALGORAND_ALGOD_PORT\":\"\",\"ALGORAND_INDEXER_API\":\"https://testnet-idx.algonode.cloud/v2\",\"ALGORAND_INDEXER_PORT\":\"\"}"

Via Smithery (for Cursor)

Simply run this command in terminal:

npx -y @smithery/cli@latest install @GoPlausible/algorand-mcp --client cursor --config "{\"NFD_API_KEY\":\"\",\"NFD_API_URL\":\"https://api.nf.domains\",\"ALGORAND_ALGOD\":\"https://testnet-api.algonode.cloud\",\"ALGORAND_TOKEN\":\"\",\"ITEMS_PER_PAGE\":\"10\",\"VESTIGE_API_KEY\":\"\",\"VESTIGE_API_URL\":\"https://api.vestigelabs.org\",\"ALGORAND_INDEXER\":\"https://testnet-idx.algonode.cloud\",\"ALGORAND_NETWORK\":\"testnet\",\"ALGORAND_ALGOD_API\":\"https://testnet-api.algonode.cloud/v2\",\"ALGORAND_ALGOD_PORT\":\"\",\"ALGORAND_INDEXER_API\":\"https://testnet-idx.algonode.cloud/v2\",\"ALGORAND_INDEXER_PORT\":\"\"}"

IMPORTANT NOTE When using Smithery UI to copy the command, make sure you set ITEMS_PER_PAGE before clicking connect so that all ENV variables are brought to command, otherwise your command will not contain environment variables required for Algorand MCP to run!

Project Architecture

The project follows a modular architecture with two main packages:

1. Server Package (@algorand-mcp/server)

   • Provides MCP tools and resources
   • Manages blockchain interactions
   • Handles transaction creation and submission
   • Offers comprehensive blockchain queries

2. Client Package (@algorand-mcp/client)

   • Handles wallet connections and transaction signing
   • Supports both local and external wallets
   • Universal compatibility (browser/Node.js)
   • Secure credential management
   • Still work in progress (Server works irrelevant to client status)
