🏗️ Architecture

The Walrus MCP Server provides a bridge between AI assistants and the Walrus decentralized storage network through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ │ AI Assistant │ │ Walrus MCP │ │ Walrus Network │ │ (Claude, etc.) │◄──►│ Server │◄──►│ (DevNet) │ └─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘ │ ▼ ┌─────────────────┐ │ Sui Blockchain │ │ (Metadata) │ └─────────────────┘

Components

MCP Server: Handles tool calls and resource requests from AI assistants
Walrus Client: Manages HTTP communication with Walrus aggregator and publisher
Aggregator: Provides blob retrieval functionality
Publisher: Handles blob storage operations
Sui Integration: Manages storage metadata and epochs

📚 Detailed Documentation

Environment Configuration

Create a .env file based on .env.example:

# Required: Walrus network endpoints WALRUS_AGGREGATOR_URL=https://aggregator-devnet.walrus.space WALRUS_PUBLISHER_URL=https://publisher-devnet.walrus.space # Optional: Custom system object ID WALRUS_SYSTEM_OBJECT=0x37c0e4d7b36a2f64d51bba262a1791f844cfd88f19c35b5ca709e1a6991e90dc # Optional: Wallet for transaction signing WALRUS_WALLET_PATH=/path/to/your/wallet.json

Tool Usage Examples

Storing a Blob

// Store text data await tool_call("store_blob", { data: "SGVsbG8sIFdhbHJ1cyE=", // Base64 encoded "Hello, Walrus!" epochs: 10 }) // Store a file await tool_call("store_blob", { data: "/path/to/file.jpg", epochs: 5 })

Retrieving a Blob

// Get blob content as Base64 const blob = await tool_call("get_blob", { blobId: "0xabc123..." })

Getting Blob Information

// Get blob metadata const info = await tool_call("get_blob_info", { blobId: "0xabc123..." }) console.log(info.size, info.certified, info.endEpoch)

Resource Usage Examples

Check Network Status

// Get Walrus network health const status = await resource_read("walrus://status") console.log(status.epoch, status.networkSize)

View Configuration

// Get current client configuration const config = await resource_read("walrus://config") console.log(config.aggregatorUrl, config.publisherUrl)

Error Handling

The server provides comprehensive error handling for common scenarios:

Blob not found: Clear error message with blob ID
Network issues: Timeout and connectivity error details
Invalid data: Validation errors for malformed inputs
Storage limits: Epoch and capacity constraint messages

Data Format Support

Supported Input Formats

Base64 encoded strings: For binary data transmission
File paths: Direct file reading (relative or absolute)
Text content: Automatically encoded for storage

Output Format

All retrieved blobs are returned as Base64 encoded strings for consistent handling across different data types.

Security Considerations

⚠️ Important Security Notes:

All blobs stored in Walrus are public and discoverable
Do not store sensitive or confidential information without encryption
Consider client-side encryption for private data
Validate all inputs before processing

Network Information

DevNet Configuration

Aggregator: https://aggregator-devnet.walrus.space
Publisher: https://publisher-devnet.walrus.space
System Object: 0x37c0e4d7b36a2f64d51bba262a1791f844cfd88f19c35b5ca709e1a6991e90dc

TestNet Configuration

For TestNet usage, update environment variables:

WALRUS_AGGREGATOR_URL=https://aggregator-testnet.walrus.space WALRUS_PUBLISHER_URL=https://publisher-testnet.walrus.space

Storage Economics

Epochs and Pricing

Epoch Duration: Fixed time periods for storage commitment
Minimum Storage: 5 epochs (configurable)
Cost Calculation: Based on blob size and storage duration
Payment: Handled through Sui blockchain transactions

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Connection Errors
- Verify network connectivity
- Check aggregator/publisher URLs
- Ensure DevNet/TestNet endpoints are accessible
Storage Failures
- Check blob size limits
- Verify sufficient SUI tokens for storage fees
- Ensure proper epoch configuration
Retrieval Issues
- Confirm blob ID format and validity
- Check if blob has expired (past end epoch)
- Verify aggregator availability

Debug Mode

Enable detailed logging:

DEBUG=walrus-mcp:* npm run dev
