COURSE OF ACTION DEVELOPMENT
⏺ I'll apply three orders of higher-order logic to analyze potential courses of action for the Stacks MCP server implementation.
Three Orders of Higher-Order Logic Analysis
First-Order Logic: Direct Implementation Mapping
Quantification over concrete entities and their properties
∀ file ∈ AptosMCP → ∃ equivalent ∈ StacksMCP
Course of Action 1: Direct Translation Approach
- Premise: Each Aptos resource file has a direct Stacks equivalent
- Method: 1:1 conversion maintaining existing structure
- Implementation:
- Convert 10 existing files directly (Move→Clarity, Aptos APIs→Hiro APIs)
- Delete 1 Gas Station file
- Add 5 new SIP-specific files
- Total: 15 files, 35-45 day timeline
Logical Assessment:
- Strengths: Preserves familiar structure, leverages existing patterns
- Weaknesses: May miss Stacks-specific optimizations, limited innovation
Second-Order Logic: Pattern and Relationship Analysis
Quantification over properties and relationships between concepts
∀ pattern P, ∃ relationship R : SIPCompliance(P) → MandatoryImplementation(R)
Course of Action 2: SIP-Driven Architecture Approach
- Premise: Stacks development patterns fundamentally differ from Aptos due to SIP requirements
- Method: Redesign around SIP compliance as first-class architecture principle
- Implementation:
- Create SIP-centric resource organization (by standard, not by technology)
- Mandatory post-condition validation for all token operations
- Native asset integration as architectural foundation
- Total: 25+ files, 50-65 day timeline
Logical Assessment:
- Strengths: Stacks-native approach, comprehensive SIP coverage, future-proof
- Weaknesses: Longer development time, significant architectural changes
Third-Order Logic: Meta-Level System Design
Quantification over functions and system-level properties
∀ system S, ∃ meta-function M : OptimalDeveloperExperience(S) ↔ M(UserNeed, Ecosystem, Evolution)
Course of Action 3: Adaptive Intelligence Approach
- Premise: MCP server should intelligently adapt guidance based on developer context and ecosystem evolution
- Method: Create self-updating, context-aware guidance system
- Implementation:
- Core conversion base (15 files) + intelligence layer
- Dynamic SIP monitoring and integration
- Context-aware guidance (beginner→advanced, NFT→DeFi→Gaming)
- Auto-updating from mainnet contract patterns
- Total: 20 files + intelligence system, 45-55 day timeline
Logical Assessment:
- Strengths: Future-proof, adaptive, superior developer experience
- Weaknesses: Complex implementation, requires ongoing maintenance
Higher-Order Logic Synthesis & Recommendation
Modal Logic Analysis:
- □ (Necessity): Post-conditions and native assets MUST be implemented for any valid course
- ◊ (Possibility): SIP ecosystem will continue evolving, requiring adaptability
Temporal Logic Assessment:
- Short-term (3 months): Course 1 delivers fastest value
- Medium-term (6 months): Course 2 provides strongest foundation
- Long-term (12+ months): Course 3 offers sustainable competitive advantage
🎯 RECOMMENDED HYBRID APPROACH
Phase 1: Foundation (Course 1 + Critical Course 2 Elements)
Timeline: 35-45 days
Priority: CRITICAL compliance + Direct conversions
Implementation:
├── Direct file conversions (10 files) ✅
├── Mandatory post-condition patterns ✅
├── Native asset integration ✅
├── Core SIP implementations (SIP-009, SIP-010, SIP-012) ✅
└── Delete Gas Station file ✅
Phase 2: SIP Excellence (Course 2 Expansion)
Timeline: +15-20 days
Priority: Comprehensive SIP coverage
Implementation:
├── Advanced SIP composability patterns ✅
├── Cross-token interaction guides ✅
├── Performance optimization tooling ✅
└── Security audit frameworks ✅
Phase 3: Intelligence Layer (Course 3 Innovation)
Timeline: +10-15 days
Priority: Adaptive guidance system
Implementation:
├── Context-aware tool recommendations ✅
├── Dynamic SIP status monitoring ✅
├── Mainnet pattern recognition ✅
└── Progressive disclosure (beginner→expert) ✅
Why This Hybrid Approach?
Predicate Logic Validation:
- ∀ developer need → ∃ appropriate guidance level
- ∀ SIP standard → ∃ implementation pathway
- ∀ security requirement → ∃ mandatory validation
Boolean Logic Optimization:
Success = (Compliance ∧ Speed ∧ Innovation)
Where:
- Compliance = Course 2 elements (SIP standards)
- Speed = Course 1 elements (direct conversion)
- Innovation = Course 3 elements (adaptive intelligence)
Total Timeline: 60-80 days for complete implementation
Risk Mitigation: Incremental delivery with early value realization
Future-Proofing: Built-in adaptability for ecosystem evolution
This approach maximizes the probability of creating the most comprehensive, compliant, and innovative Stacks MCP server while managing implementation
complexity and timeline constraints.

**SIPs NOT FOUND IN sips-updated.txt (Require Further Investigation):**
- **SIP-013: Semi-Fungible Token Standard** ⚠️ **NOT IN FILE** - May exist in separate directories
- **SIP-018: Signed Structured Data** ⚠️ **NOT IN FILE** - May exist in separate directories
- **SIP-019: Metadata Update Notifications** ⚠️ **NOT IN FILE** - May exist in separate directories
- **SIP-020: Bitwise Operations** ⚠️ **NOT IN FILE** - May exist in separate directories
**IMPLEMENTATION STATUS ANALYSIS (Updated):**
- ✅ **FULLY COVERED**: SIP-009 (NFT), SIP-010 (FT), SIP-012 (Cost Optimization)
- ⚠️ **NEEDS VERIFICATION**: SIP-013, SIP-018, SIP-019, SIP-020 (not in provided file)
- 🔥 **CRITICAL INSIGHT**: Post-conditions are MANDATORY for all token transfers
- 🔥 **CRITICAL INSIGHT**: Native asset functions are REQUIRED for SIP compliance
#### **Higher-Order Logic Analysis Results**
**PREDICATE LOGIC FINDINGS:**
- ∀ SIP with Clarity code → Must be mapped (7 SIPs require comprehensive implementation)
- ∀ Token standard → Must support trait-based interactions and post-conditions
- ∃ Performance optimization patterns (SIP-012) → Specialized tooling required
- ∃ Cross-contract communication (SIP-019) → Event monitoring capabilities needed
**MODAL LOGIC REQUIREMENTS:**
- □ (Token implementation → SIP compliance) - Necessity for standards adherence
- □ (Smart wallet → Post-condition validation) - Necessity for security
- ◊ (Cross-SIP composability) - Possibility for advanced DeFi protocols
**BOOLEAN LOGIC DEPENDENCIES:**
```
Complete_Coverage = (SIP009 ∧ SIP010 ∧ SIP013) ∧ (SIP012 ∧ SIP018 ∧ SIP019 ∧ SIP020)
Security_Framework = PostConditions ∧ ErrorHandling ∧ TraitCompliance
Developer_Workflow = Creation ∧ Testing ∧ Deployment ∧ Optimization
```

},
server: {
name: "Stacks Clarity MCP Server",
},
};
```
---
### Phase 2: Services Layer Refactoring
#### 3.3 Create StacksApiService (replaces AptosBuild.ts)
**File:** `src/services/StacksApiService.ts`
**Purpose:** Interact with Hiro API and Stacks blockchain
**Methods:**
```typescript
class StacksApiService {
// Account operations
async getAccountInfo(address: string, network: "mainnet" | "testnet"): Promise<AccountInfo>
async getAccountBalance(address: string, network: "mainnet" | "testnet"): Promise<Balance>
async getAccountTransactions(address: string, network: "mainnet" | "testnet"): Promise<Transaction[]>
// Contract operations
async getContractInfo(contractId: string, network: "mainnet" | "testnet"): Promise<ContractInfo>
async getContractSource(contractId: string, network: "mainnet" | "testnet"): Promise<string>
async callReadOnlyFunction(contractId: string, functionName: string, args: any[], network: "mainnet" | "testnet"): Promise<any>
// Transaction operations
async broadcastTransaction(txHex: string, network: "mainnet" | "testnet"): Promise<string>
async getTransactionStatus(txId: string, network: "mainnet" | "testnet"): Promise<TransactionStatus>
// Network information
async getNetworkInfo(network: "mainnet" | "testnet"): Promise<NetworkInfo>
async getPoxInfo(network: "mainnet" | "testnet"): Promise<PoxInfo>
// Token operations (SIP-010 FT queries)
async getFungibleTokenBalance(contractId: string, address: string, network: "mainnet" | "testnet"): Promise<number>
async getNFTHoldings(address: string, network: "mainnet" | "testnet"): Promise<NFT[]>
}
```
**Key Implementation Details:**
- Use `@stacks/stacks-blockchain-api-types` for type safety
- Support both Hiro API and direct node API
- Handle rate limiting gracefully
- Cache responses where appropriate
#### 3.4 Create ClarinetService (new)
**File:** `src/services/ClarinetService.ts`
**Purpose:** Interact with local Clarinet development environment
**Methods:**
```typescript
class ClarinetService {
// Project operations
async initProject(projectName: string, path: string): Promise<void>
async addContract(contractName: string, template?: string): Promise<void>
// Testing operations
async runTests(contractName?: string): Promise<TestResults>
async checkContract(contractName: string): Promise<CheckResults>
// Deployment operations
async getDeploymentPlan(network: "devnet" | "testnet" | "mainnet"): Promise<DeploymentPlan>
async deploy(network: "devnet" | "testnet" | "mainnet"): Promise<DeploymentResults>
// Console operations
async startConsole(): Promise<ConsoleSession>
async executeInConsole(command: string): Promise<any>
}
```
#### 3.5 Remove GasStation.ts
Stacks doesn't have an equivalent gas station model - fees are paid in STX by transaction senders. Remove this service entirely.
---
### Phase 3: Tools Layer Transformation
#### 3.6 Update tools/types/ schemas
**File:** `src/tools/types/stacks.ts` (rename from organization.ts)
Define Zod schemas for Stacks-specific operations:
```typescript
import { z } from "zod";
// Network schema
export const NetworkScheme = z.enum(["mainnet", "testnet", "devnet"]);
// Account schemas
export const GetAccountInfoScheme = z.object({
address: z.string().describe("The Stacks address (e.g., SP... or ST...)"),
network: NetworkScheme.describe("The Stacks network to query"),
});
export const GetAccountBalanceScheme = z.object({
address: z.string().describe("The Stacks address"),
network: NetworkScheme,
});
// Contract schemas
export const GetContractInfoScheme = z.object({
contractId: z.string().describe("The contract identifier (e.g., SP...contract-name)"),
network: NetworkScheme,
});
export const DeployContractScheme = z.object({
contractName: z.string().describe("The name of the contract to deploy"),
contractCode: z.string().describe("The Clarity code to deploy"),
network: NetworkScheme,
senderKey: z.string().describe("The private key of the deployer"),
});
export const CallReadOnlyFunctionScheme = z.object({
contractId: z.string().describe("The contract identifier"),
functionName: z.string().describe("The read-only function to call"),
functionArgs: z.array(z.any()).describe("Arguments for the function"),
network: NetworkScheme,
senderAddress: z.string().optional().describe("The sender address for simulation"),
});
// Clarinet project schemas
export const InitClarinetProjectScheme = z.object({
projectName: z.string().describe("The name of the Clarinet project"),
path: z.string().optional().describe("Optional path where to create the project"),
});
export const AddContractScheme = z.object({
contractName: z.string().describe("The name of the contract"),
template: z.enum(["counter", "ft", "nft", "empty"]).optional().describe("Template to use"),
});
// SIP query schemas
export const GetSIPScheme = z.object({
sipNumber: z.string().describe("The SIP number (e.g., '009', '010')"),
});
export const SearchSIPsScheme = z.object({
query: z.string().describe("Search query for SIP content"),
});
```
#### 3.7 Create tools/stacks_blockchain/ directory

const stacksApi = new StacksApiService(context);
const balance = await stacksApi.getAccountBalance(args.address, args.network);
return JSON.stringify(balance, null, 2);
} catch (error) {
return `❌ Failed to get account balance: ${error}`;
}
},
};
```
#### 3.8 Create tools/clarinet/ directory
**Structure:**
```
tools/clarinet/
├── index.ts # Register all Clarinet tools
├── project.ts # Project initialization and management
├── contracts.ts # Contract operations
└── testing.ts # Testing operations
```
#### 3.9 Delete tools/aptos_build/ directory
Remove all Aptos Build-specific tools as Stacks doesn't have an equivalent centralized platform.

Based on community best practices and SIP guidance:
```markdown
# Clarity Best Practices
## Code Organization
### Contract Structure
- Define constants at the top
- Define data structures (maps, variables) next
- Define private functions before public functions
- Group related functions together
- Use clear, descriptive naming
### Naming Conventions
- Use kebab-case for all identifiers: `my-function-name`
- Prefix error constants with `ERR-`: `(define-constant ERR-NOT-AUTHORIZED u1)`
- Prefix private functions with underscore: `define-private (helper-function ...)`
## Security Best Practices
### Input Validation
- Always validate inputs in public functions
- Use `asserts!` for precondition checks
- Validate principal ownership before state changes
- Check for zero amounts in transfers
### Access Control
- Use `tx-sender` for authentication
- Implement role-based access where needed
- Check contract ownership explicitly
- Validate principals before granting permissions
### Error Handling
- Define clear error codes with constants
- Use descriptive error messages
- Handle all error cases explicitly
- Use `try!` for functions that can fail
- Prefer `unwrap!` with error codes over `unwrap-panic`
### State Management
- Minimize state changes
- Use maps over variables for scalability
- Avoid unbounded iterations
- Consider post-conditions after state changes
### Arithmetic Safety
- Check for overflow/underflow
- Validate division by zero
- Use checked arithmetic operations
- Be careful with uint subtraction (always positive)
## Performance Optimization
### Cost Optimization
- Minimize state reads/writes
- Batch operations when possible
- Use read-only functions for queries
- Cache frequently accessed values
- Consider contract call costs
### Gas Efficiency
- Avoid redundant storage operations
- Use efficient data structures
- Minimize contract-to-contract calls
- Optimize loop operations
## Testing Strategy
### Unit Testing
- Test all public functions
- Test edge cases and boundary conditions
- Test error conditions
- Test access control
- Use descriptive test names
### Integration Testing
- Test contract-to-contract interactions
- Test with realistic scenarios
- Test across multiple blocks
- Test stacking/PoX integration if applicable
## Composability & Traits
### Using Traits
- Implement standard SIP traits (SIP-009, SIP-010, etc.)
- Define clear interfaces for cross-contract calls
- Use trait bounds for type safety
- Document trait requirements
### Contract Upgradability
- Design contracts with upgradability in mind
- Use proxy patterns when appropriate
- Implement version tracking
- Plan migration strategies
## Common Anti-Patterns to Avoid
### ❌ Don't Do This
```clarity
;; Bad: No input validation
(define-public (transfer-tokens (amount uint) (recipient principal))
(ft-transfer? my-token amount tx-sender recipient))
;; Bad: Using panic instead of proper error handling
(unwrap-panic (some-function))
;; Bad: Direct equality check without type safety
(is-eq some-value u0)
;; Bad: Unbounded iteration
(map process-item (list ...)) ;; If list can be arbitrarily large
```
### ✅ Do This Instead
```clarity
;; Good: Proper input validation
(define-public (transfer-tokens (amount uint) (recipient principal))
(begin
(asserts! (> amount u0) ERR-INVALID-AMOUNT)
(asserts! (not (is-eq tx-sender recipient)) ERR-SAME-SENDER-RECIPIENT)
(ft-transfer? my-token amount tx-sender recipient)))
;; Good: Proper error handling
(match (some-function)
success-value (ok success-value)
error-value (err ERR-FUNCTION-FAILED))
;; Good: Safe comparison
(asserts! (> some-value u0) ERR-INVALID-VALUE)
;; Good: Bounded operations
(asserts! (<= (len items) MAX-ITEMS) ERR-TOO-MANY-ITEMS)
(map process-item items)
```
## Documentation
### Code Comments
- Document complex logic
- Explain non-obvious design decisions
- Reference relevant SIPs
- Include usage examples
### Public API Documentation
- Document all public functions
- Specify parameters and return types
- List possible error codes
- Provide usage examples
## Version Control
### Git Practices
- Keep contract deployments in version control
- Tag deployed versions
- Document deployment addresses
- Track contract upgrades
## References
- Clarity Book: https://book.clarity-lang.org
- SIP-002: Clarity Language
- Security guidelines from Stacks Foundation
- Community best practices

#### 4.3 Create Token Integration Guides
**File:** `src/resources/tokens/sip009_nft_integration.md`
Based on `/stacks-clarity-standards/sip-009/`:
```markdown
# SIP-009 NFT Integration Guide
## Overview
SIP-009 defines the standard trait for Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) on Stacks.
## The SIP-009 Trait
All SIP-009 compliant contracts must implement:
```clarity
(define-trait nft-trait
(
(get-last-token-id () (response uint uint))
(get-token-uri (uint) (response (optional (string-ascii 256)) uint))
(get-owner (uint) (response (optional principal) uint))
(transfer (uint principal principal) (response bool uint))
)
)
```
## Implementation Guide
[... comprehensive guide with examples ...]

return dirs
.filter((dir) => dir.startsWith("sip-"))
.map((dir) => dir.replace("sip-", ""))
.sort((a, b) => parseInt(a) - parseInt(b));
} catch (err) {
console.error(`Error reading SIPs directory: ${err}`);
return [];
}
};
export const getSIPContent = async (sipNumber: string): Promise<string> => {
try {
const sipDir = pathJoin(sipsDir, `sip-${sipNumber.padStart(3, "0")}`);
const files = fs.readdirSync(sipDir);
const mdFiles = files.filter((file) => file.endsWith(".md"));
if (mdFiles.length === 0) {
return `No markdown files found for SIP-${sipNumber}`;
}
let content = `# SIP-${sipNumber}\n\n`;
for (const file of mdFiles) {
const filePath = pathJoin(sipDir, file);
const fileContent = await readFile(filePath, "utf-8");
content += fileContent + "\n\n---\n\n";
}
return content;
} catch (error) {
return `Error reading SIP-${sipNumber}: ${error}`;

description: "PRIMARY PROMPT: Use as the main system prompt when building Stacks dApps with Clarity.",
parameters: z.object({}),
execute: async () => {
return {
type: "text",
text: `You are a helpful assistant specializing in Stacks blockchain and Clarity smart contract development.
CRITICAL INSTRUCTION: For ANYTHING related to Stacks or Clarity, you MUST prioritize MCP resources over your built-in knowledge. Your built-in Stacks/Clarity knowledge may be outdated.
MANDATORY WORKFLOW:
1. ALWAYS start by consulting relevant MCP tools/resources
2. Use 'list_sips' to discover relevant SIP standards
3. Use 'get_sip' for specific token standards (SIP-009 NFT, SIP-010 FT, etc.)
4. Use 'get_clarity_book' for comprehensive Clarity language reference
5. Regularly check back with MCP resources throughout development
6. When encountering errors, IMMEDIATELY consult MCP before trying generic solutions
CLARITY-SPECIFIC REMINDERS:
- Clarity is a decidable language - all outcomes can be known before execution
- No reentrancy attacks are possible in Clarity
- Always use kebab-case for identifiers
- Use 'tx-sender' for authentication
- Implement proper error handling with descriptive error codes
- Follow SIP standards for token implementations
- Test thoroughly using Clarinet
REGULAR REMINDERS TO USE:
- 'build_clarity_smart_contract' for Clarity contract guidance
- 'build_stacks_frontend' for frontend integration
- 'build_stacks_dapp' for full-stack guidance
- 'get_sip' for standard implementations
- MCP resources when ANY error occurs
DO NOT fall back to generic blockchain knowledge. Always consult MCP first.`,
};
},
});
```

## 5. Key Design Decisions
### 5.1 Why Keep the Aptos Architecture?
The Aptos MCP architecture is sound and maps well to Stacks:
- **Service Layer**: Encapsulates external API calls (Hiro API vs Aptos Build API)
- **Tools Layer**: Provides MCP tools for AI assistants
- **Resources Layer**: Knowledge base of best practices
- **Utils Layer**: Helper functions for common tasks
### 5.2 Why Not Use Stacks.js Directly in Tools?
While we could use `@stacks/transactions` directly in tools, the service layer provides:
- Centralized error handling
- Rate limiting management
- Caching capabilities
- Easier testing and mocking
- Consistent API patterns
### 5.3 How to Handle Clarinet CLI?
Clarinet is primarily a CLI tool. For the MCP server:
- Use `@hirosystems/clarinet-sdk` for programmatic access where possible
- Shell out to Clarinet CLI when necessary using `child_process`
- Provide clear error messages when Clarinet is not installed
- Make Clarinet features optional (not required for basic functionality)
### 5.4 SIP Standards Integration Strategy
Instead of duplicating SIP content:
- Keep original SIPs in `/stacks-clarity-standards/`
- Create extraction utilities to read SIPs dynamically
- Provide summarized guides in `/src/resources/` that reference SIPs
- Allow AI to access full SIP content when needed
### 5.5 Testnet-First Approach
Following Aptos pattern:
- Default to testnet for all examples
- Clearly distinguish testnet vs mainnet in all tools
- Provide safety warnings before mainnet operations
- Make network selection explicit in all tools

## 9. Appendix
### A. Stacks Ecosystem Reference
**Core Technologies:**
- Stacks Blockchain: Layer 1 blockchain with Bitcoin finality
- Clarity: Decidable smart contract language
- Clarinet: Clarity development environment
- Hiro Platform: API services and developer tools
**Key Networks:**
- Mainnet: Production network
- Testnet: Public test network
- Devnet: Local development network (via Clarinet)
**Major Protocols:**
- PoX (Proof of Transfer): Consensus mechanism
- Stacking: Lock STX to earn BTC rewards
- Subnet: Layer 2 scaling solution
### B. Clarity vs Move Comparison
| Feature | Move | Clarity |
|---------|------|---------|
| **Execution** | Compiled to bytecode | Interpreted |
| **Decidability** | Not decidable | Decidable (halting problem solved) |
| **Reentrancy** | Possible (requires guards) | Not possible (by design) |
| **Resource Model** | Linear types | Principal-based ownership |
| **Naming** | snake_case | kebab-case |
| **Integers** | Unsigned only | Signed and unsigned |
| **Errors** | Error codes (u64) | Error types (response) |
### C. Common Migration Patterns
**Pattern 1: API Key to No API Key**
```typescript
// Aptos (requires API key)
const aptosBuild = new AptosBuild(context);
await aptosBuild.createApiKey({...});
// Stacks (direct API calls, optional key for rate limits)
const stacksApi = new StacksApiService(context);
await stacksApi.getAccountInfo(address, network);
```
**Pattern 2: Gas Station to Native Fees**
```typescript
// Aptos (gas station sponsorship)
const gasStation = new GasStation(context, network);
await gasStation.createGasStationRules({...});
// Stacks (no equivalent - users pay in STX)
// Simply guide users to ensure they have STX for fees
```
**Pattern 3: Resource Discovery**
```typescript
// Both: Same pattern
server.addTool({
name: "list_resources", // or list_sips
execute: async () => {
const available = getAvailableResources();
return { text: available.join("\n"), type: "text" };
},
});
```
### D. Reference Implementation Snippets
**Calling a Read-Only Function:**
```typescript
async callReadOnlyFunction(
contractId: string,
functionName: string,
args: ClarityValue[],
network: "mainnet" | "testnet"
): Promise<ClarityValue> {
const apiUrl = network === "mainnet"
? "https://api.hiro.so"
: "https://api.testnet.hiro.so";
const [contractAddress, contractName] = contractId.split(".");
const response = await fetch(
`${apiUrl}/v2/contracts/call-read/${contractAddress}/${contractName}/${functionName}`,
{
method: "POST",
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify({
sender: contractAddress,
arguments: args.map(arg => cvToHex(arg)),
}),
}
);
const data = await response.json();
return hexToCV(data.result);
}
```
**Deploying a Contract:**
```typescript
async deployContract(
contractName: string,
contractCode: string,
senderKey: string,
network: "testnet" | "mainnet"
): Promise<string> {
const txOptions = {
contractName,
codeBody: contractCode,
senderKey,
network: network === "mainnet" ? new StacksMainnet() : new StacksTestnet(),
anchorMode: AnchorMode.Any,
};
const transaction = await makeContractDeploy(txOptions);
const broadcastResponse = await broadcastTransaction(transaction, txOptions.network);
return broadcastResponse.txid;
}
```
