description: AI-powered MCP server for Hedera blockchain development
---
HashPilot is a [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server that integrates with AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code to provide a complete toolkit for Hedera blockchain development.
## What is HashPilot?
HashPilot bridges the gap between AI assistants and Hedera blockchain development. Instead of manually writing SDK code or consulting documentation, you can simply ask your AI assistant to:
- Create accounts and transfer HBAR
- Deploy and interact with smart contracts
- Manage tokens (HTS) and consensus messages (HCS)
- Search Hedera documentation with AI-powered RAG
- Generate code from natural language descriptions

## Quick Start
```bash
npm install -g hashpilot
```
Then configure your AI editor - see the [Installation Guide](/installation) for detailed setup instructions.
## Example Usage
Once configured, simply ask your AI assistant:
> "Create a new Hedera account with 10 HBAR"
> "Deploy this Solidity contract to testnet"
> "Search the docs for how to create an NFT"
> "Generate code to transfer tokens between accounts"
## Requirements
- **Node.js** 18.0.0 or higher
- **Hedera Account** - Get free testnet account at [portal.hedera.com](https://portal.hedera.com)
- **OpenAI API Key** - Required for RAG features (documentation search, code generation)
