# ✅ Stacks MCP Server - Setup Complete
## 🎉 What We Accomplished
Your Stacks MCP Server is now **fully documented and production-ready** with automated setup capabilities!
## 📦 What Was Created
### 1. Automated Setup Script (`setup-mcp.sh`)
- ✅ Interactive and CLI modes
- ✅ Configures Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code
- ✅ Reads from `.env` file
- ✅ Generates proper MCP configuration JSON
- ✅ Installs to correct application directories
- ✅ Provides restart instructions
### 2. Package.json Scripts
```json
{
"setup": "./setup-mcp.sh", // Interactive mode
"setup:claude": "./setup-mcp.sh --claude", // Claude Desktop
"setup:cursor": "./setup-mcp.sh --cursor", // Cursor editor
"setup:code": "./setup-mcp.sh --code" // VS Code
}
```
### 3. Enhanced README.md
- ✅ Professional documentation following VeChain pattern
- ✅ Quick Start guide with automated setup instructions
- ✅ Comprehensive usage examples for all protocols
- ✅ Manual configuration instructions as fallback
- ✅ Environment variable reference table
- ✅ Troubleshooting section
- ✅ Protocol integration status
### 4. BitFlow Temporary Disable
- ✅ Commented out in `src/index.ts` (lines 21, 71, 136)
- ✅ Can be re-enabled after obtaining API keys
- ✅ Clear instructions in README for re-enabling
## 🚀 How to Use
### Quick Setup (Recommended)
```bash
# 1. Build the server (if not already built)
pnpm build
# 2. Run automated setup
pnpm setup # Interactive mode - choose your app
pnpm setup:claude # Configure Claude Desktop only
pnpm setup:cursor # Configure Cursor only
pnpm setup:code # Configure VS Code only
# 3. Restart your AI application
# 4. Start chatting!
```

## 🔧 Manual Configuration (If Needed)
If you prefer to configure manually or the automated script doesn't work:
### Claude Desktop
Location: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"stacks-mcp": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/stacks-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY": "0x...",
"STACKS_NETWORK": "testnet",
"HIRO_API_KEY": "optional"
}
}
}
}
```
### Cursor
Location: `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (global) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (project)
Same JSON format as Claude Desktop.
### VS Code
Location: `~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/mcp.json` (global) or `.vscode/mcp.json` (project)
Same JSON format as Claude Desktop.

## 📚 Documentation Files
- `README.md` - Main documentation (updated)
- `setup-mcp.sh` - Automated setup script (new)
- `.env.example` - Environment template
- `/docs/` - Protocol-specific documentation
- `SETUP_COMPLETE.md` - This file
## 🔐 Security Notes
- ✅ `.env` file is in `.gitignore`
- ✅ Never commit wallet credentials
- ✅ Use testnet for development
- ✅ All commits GPG-signed (per CLAUDE.md)
- ✅ Setup script uses proper file permissions
## 🐛 Troubleshooting
### Setup Script Issues
**"Permission denied"**
```bash
chmod +x setup-mcp.sh
```
**".env file not found"**
```bash
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your configuration
```
**"Built server not found"**
```bash
pnpm build
```
### MCP Connection Issues
**Tools not showing up:**
1. Restart your AI application completely
2. Check configuration file location matches your OS
3. Verify absolute path to `dist/index.js` is correct
4. Check server logs for errors
**"Invalid wallet credentials":**
1. Verify `WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY` or `WALLET_MNEMONIC` in `.env`
2. Ensure key is properly formatted (64 hex chars for private key)
3. Check that key matches selected network
## 🎊 Next Steps
1. **Test the server:**
```bash
pnpm setup
# Choose your AI application
# Restart the application
# Try: "Check my STX balance"
```
2. **Explore protocols:**
- Try swapping on ALEX
- Open a vault on Arkadiko
- Stack some STX
- Check out Velar pools
3. **When ready for BitFlow:**
- Contact BitFlow team for API keys
- Update `.env` with real keys
- Uncomment BitFlow in `src/index.ts`
- Rebuild with `pnpm build`
