Monad MCP

Monad MCP Tutorial

This project demonstrates how to create a MCP server that interacts with the Monad testnet. The MCP server provides a tool for checking MON token balances on the Monad testnet.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard that allows AI models to interact with external tools and services.

In this tutorial, we're creating an MCP server that allows MCP Client (Claude Desktop) to query Monad testnet to check MON balance of an account.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js (v16 or later)
  • npm or yarn
  • Claude Desktop

Getting Started

  1. Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/bble/monad-mcp.git
  1. Install dependencies:
npm install

Building the MCP server

Monad Testnet related configuration is already added to index.ts in the src folder.

Define the server instance

// Create a new MCP server instance const server = new McpServer({ name: "monad-testnet", version: "0.0.1", // Array of supported tool names that clients can call capabilities: ["get-mon-balance"] });

Defining the MON balance tool

server.tool( // Tool ID "get-mon-balance", // Description of what the tool does "Get MON balance for an address on Monad testnet", // Input schema { address: z.string().describe("Monad testnet address to check balance for"), }, // Tool implementation async ({ address }) => { try { // Check MON balance for the input address const balance = await publicClient.getBalance({ address: address as `0x${string}`, }); // Return a human friendly message indicating the balance. return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Balance for ${address}: ${formatUnits(balance, 18)} MON`, }, ], }; } catch (error) { // If the balance check process fails, return a graceful message back to the MCP client indicating a failure. return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Failed to retrieve balance for address: ${address}. Error: ${ error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error) }`, }, ], }; } } );

Add functionality to query NFT count

### Add functionality to query NFT count server.tool( // Function identifier "get-nft-count", // Function description "Query the number of NFTs held by an address on the Monad testnet", // Parameter definition { address: z.string().describe("The Monad testnet address to query"), nftContract: z.string().describe("NFT contract address") }, // Function implementation async ({ address, nftContract }) => { try { // Call the contract's balanceOf method to get the NFT count const balance = await publicClient.readContract({ address: nftContract as `0x${string}`, abi: [ { inputs: [{ name: "owner", type: "address" }], name: "balanceOf", outputs: [{ name: "", type: "uint256" }], stateMutability: "view", type: "function" } ], functionName: "balanceOf", args: [address as `0x${string}`] }); // Return the formatted query result return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `The address ${address} holds ${balance.toString()} NFTs in contract ${nftContract}.`, }, ], }; } catch (error) { // Error handling return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Failed to query NFT count for address ${address}: ${ error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error) }`, }, ], }; } } );

Initialize the transport and server from the main function

async function main() { // Create a transport layer using standard input/output const transport = new StdioServerTransport(); // Connect the server to the transport await server.connect(transport); console.error("Monad testnet MCP Server running on stdio"); }

Build the project

npm run build

The server is now ready to use!

Adding the MCP server to Claude Desktop

  1. Open "Claude Desktop"

claude desktop

  1. Open Settings

Claude > Settings > Developer

claude settings

  1. Open claude_desktop_config.json

claude config

  1. Add details about the MCP server and save the file.
{ "mcpServers": { ... "monad-mcp": { "command": "node", "args": [ "/<path-to-project>/build/index.js" ] } } }
  1. Restart "Claude Desktop"

Using the MCP server
