Self MCP Server

MCP server for Self protocol integration assistance. Helps developers add privacy-preserving identity verification to their apps.

Features

• Core Self Protocol Tools: Integration guides, code generation, debugging assistance

• Tools.self.xyz Integration: Direct interaction with blockchain for reading configurations and generating hashes

• Web3 Integration: Read-only blockchain operations (no write operations to keep it free)

• Comprehensive Documentation: Resources and prompts for Self protocol development

Installation

Option 1: Install from GitHub (Recommended)

After installation, run with: self-mcp

Option 2: Local Development Setup

1. Clone the repository:

2. Create virtual environment:

3. Install dependencies:

4. Verify installation:

Configuration

For Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

For Cursor

Create mcp.json in your project root:

Option 1: Using Python directly (simple)

Option 2: Using uv (recommended for dependency management)

Replace /path/to/your/python with your Python interpreter path (e.g., /Users/nightmare/Projects/self-work/self-mcp/venv/bin/python) and /path/to/self-mcp with the actual path to your self-mcp directory.

Note: The cwd (current working directory) parameter sets the directory where the server process will run. This is important for relative file paths and ensuring the server finds its dependencies.

Then enable MCP in Cursor settings → cursor settings → Tools and Integrations → New MCP Server This will open mcp.json of cursor where you can put the above configuration.
