Algorand MCP: What is it?

Algorand Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an implementation for interacting with the Algorand blockchain. It provides a standardized way for applications to offer context to Large Language Models (LLMs), enabling them to be more effective and useful by providing them with tools, resources, and instructions. This project includes both a server-side package for blockchain interactions and a client-side package for wallet management and transaction signing.

📦 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.

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

Installation

To install or update the Algorand MCP implementation, clone the repository, install the dependencies and build the project":

First check node version to be 23.6.1 or later:

node -v

Upgrade to 23.6.1 or later if needed!

Then check the Claude or Cursor container folders to have mcp-servers folder (if not create one):

mkdir PATH_ON_YOUR_MACHINE/Claude/mcp-servers
# or for Cursor 
mkdir PATH_ON_YOUR_MACHINE/Cursor/mcp-servers

Then clone this repository under mcp-servers folder and install dependencies:

cd PATH_ON_YOUR_MACHINE/Claude/mcp-servers
# or for Cursor 
cd PATH_ON_YOUR_MACHINE/Cursor/mcp-servers
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/GoPlausible/algorand-mcp.git
cd algorand-mcp
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Build the project
npm run build
# Edit the .env file to set your configurations

And you are done! Now you can open you MCP config and add the server as :

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "algorand-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "PATH_ON_YOUR_MACHINE/Claude/mcp-servers/algorand-mcp/packages/server/dist/index.js"
     ],
      "env": {
        "ALGORAND_NETWORK": "testnet",
        "ALGORAND_ALGOD_API": "https://testnet-api.algonode.cloud/v2",
        "ALGORAND_ALGOD": "https://testnet-api.algonode.cloud",
        "ALGORAND_INDEXER_API": "https://testnet-idx.algonode.cloud/v2",
        "ALGORAND_INDEXER": "https://testnet-idx.algonode.cloud",
        "ALGORAND_ALGOD_PORT": "",
        "ALGORAND_INDEXER_PORT": "",
        "ALGORAND_TOKEN": "",
        "ALGORAND_AGENT_WALLET": "problem aim online jaguar upper oil flight stumble mystery aerobic toy avoid file tomato moment exclude witness guard lab opera crunch noodle dune abandon broccoli",
        "NFD_API_URL": "https://api.nf.domains",
        "NFD_API_KEY": "",
        "TINYMAN_ACTIVE": "false",
        "ULTRADE_ACTIVE": "false",
        "ULTRADE_API_URL": "https://api.ultrade.io",
        "VESTIGE_ACTIVE": "false",
        "VESTIGE_API_URL": "https://api.vestigelabs.org",
        "VESTIGE_API_KEY": "",
        "ITEMS_PER_PAGE": "10"

      }
    }
  }
}

Make sure yopu change the paths to match your local system's paths.

For example on MACOS and Claud, the path would be something like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "algorand-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        " /Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/mcp-servers/algorand-mcp/packages/server/dist/index.js"
     ]
    }
  }
}

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)
