# Corvus

**Solana DeFi Intelligence — Dual Interface (MCP Server + CLI)**

Natural language interface for querying wallets, DeFi positions, protocol metrics, and token prices on Solana blockchain.

**Two Deployment Modes:**
- šŸ¤– **MCP Server**: Integrate with Archestra/Claude Desktop for AI-powered analysis
- ⚔ **CLI Tool**: Standalone terminal commands for direct queries

## Features

### Wallet Intelligence
- **SOL Balance**: Get native SOL balance with real-time USD valuation
- **Token Holdings**: Complete SPL token portfolio with prices and values
- **Transaction History**: Human-readable transaction descriptions (powered by Helius Enhanced Transactions)

### DeFi Market Data
- **Token Pricing**: Batch price lookups for up to 50 tokens (symbols or mint addresses)
- **Protocol TVL**: Detailed Total Value Locked metrics for 358+ Solana protocols
- **Protocol Rankings**: Top protocols by TVL with category filtering

### Advanced Analytics (The Differentiator)
- **DeFi Position Analysis**: Intelligent 3-bucket classification system
  - **Known DeFi**: Registry-based identification (jupSOL, mSOL, JLP, etc.)
  - **Likely DeFi**: Heuristic detection (LP tokens, vault tokens, protocol patterns)
  - **Unclassified**: Regular tokens and assets
- **Dust Filtering**: Automatically filters tokens < $1 USD or < 0.01 balance
- **Telegram Alerts**: Send formatted notifications with severity levels

   ```bash
   ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...  # Recommended
   OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
   GOOGLE_API_KEY=...
   GROQ_API_KEY=gsk-...
   ```

2. **Or use local Ollama** (no API key needed):
   ```bash
   # Install Ollama
   curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh

   # Pull a model
   ollama pull llama2

   # Use with Corvus
   corvus chat --local
   ```

## Architecture

Three-layer design with deterministic tool execution:

```
ā”Œā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”

│   Libraries (API Clients)       │  Helius, DeFiLlama clients
│   src/lib/*.ts                  │  Error handling, retries, sanitization
ā””ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”¬ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”˜

ā”Œā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā–¼ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”€ā”
│   Data (Static Registries)      │  Known DeFi tokens, token symbols

```

**Design Principle:** All data fetching, validation, formatting, and error handling happens inside the tools. The LLM only selects which tool to use.

---

## Testing

Comprehensive test suite with **210 passing tests** (~6 seconds execution):

```bash
# Run all tests
npm test

# Run with coverage
npm run test:coverage

# Run in watch mode
npm run test:watch
```

**Test Coverage:**
- Input validation (11 tests)
- DeFi classifier (10 tests)
- Token registry (7 tests)
- Helius API client (24 tests)
- DeFiLlama API client (24 tests)
- Tool implementations (113 tests)
- MCP server integration (12 tests)
- Integration tests (9 tests)

All tests are mock-based (no external API dependencies) for fast, deterministic execution.

## Example Usage

### Get Wallet Balance
```
User: "Get the SOL balance for wallet 7xKXtg2CW87d97TXJSDpbD5jBkheTqA83TZRuJosgAsU"

Response:
{
  "balance_sol": 5.5,
  "balance_usd": 550.00,
  "price_per_sol": 100.00
}
```

### Analyze DeFi Positions
```
User: "Analyze DeFi positions in wallet 7xKXtg2CW87d97TXJSDpbD5jBkheTqA83TZRuJosgAsU"

Response:
Known DeFi Positions:
  - jupSOL: 2.5 tokens ($250 USD) - Jito Liquid Staking
  - mSOL: 1.0 tokens ($100 USD) - Marinade Staking

Likely DeFi Positions:
  - SOL-USDC-LP: 0.5 tokens ($50 USD) - LP token detected

Summary:
  - Total DeFi Value: $400 USD
  - Protocols: Jito, Marinade, Unknown DEX
```

### Get Protocol Rankings
```
User: "What are the top 5 Solana DeFi protocols by TVL?"

Response:
1. Kamino Lend - $1.65B (Lending)
2. Jito - $1.07B (Liquid Staking)
3. Marinade - $850M (Liquid Staking)
4. Jupiter - $600M (DEX)
5. Drift - $400M (Perpetuals)
```

---

## Security

- **API Key Management**: Environment variables, never hardcoded
- **Input Validation**: Solana SDK PublicKey validation for wallet addresses
- **Error Sanitization**: Generic error messages, no internal details leaked
- **Request Timeouts**: 5-second default with AbortController
- **Rate Limiting**: Built-in limits (50 tokens max for pricing, 50 transactions max)
- **Authorization Headers**: Proper API authentication

---

## Data Sources

| Source | Purpose | API Key Required | Rate Limits |
|--------|---------|------------------|-------------|
| **Helius** | Blockchain data (balances, transactions) | Yes (free tier) | 100k credits/day |
| **DeFiLlama** | Protocol TVL, token prices | No | Public API |

---

## The Differentiator: 3-Bucket Classification

Corvus uses a unique **dual-strategy approach** to identify DeFi positions:

### 1. Known DeFi (Registry-Based)
Hardcoded registry of verified receipt tokens:
- **Liquid Staking**: jupSOL, mSOL, bSOL, stSOL
- **Governance**: JUP, JTO, MNDE, RAY, ORCA
- **LP Tokens**: JLP, USDC-USDT-LP

### 2. Likely DeFi (Heuristic-Based)
Pattern detection for unknown tokens:
- **LP Tokens**: Contains "LP" or hyphen (SOL-USDC)
- **Vault Tokens**: k-prefix (kUSDC = Kamino vault)
- **Protocol Names**: Contains known protocol names
- **No Market Price**: Receipt tokens typically not traded

Requires **2+ signals** to classify as "Likely DeFi"

### 3. Unclassified
Everything else (regular tokens, base assets, stablecoins)

**Why This Matters:** Users can instantly see their staking positions, lending deposits, and LP tokens across all protocols without manual tracking.

## Contributing

Contributions are welcome! Here's how to help:

### Adding DeFi Tokens to Registry

Edit `src/data/defi-registry.ts`:

```typescript
{
  mint: "token-mint-address",
  symbol: "TOKEN",
  name: "Token Name",
  protocol: "Protocol Name",
  category: "Liquid Staking" | "Governance" | "LP Token",
  underlying_asset: "SOL", // optional
  description: "Brief description"
}
```

### Adding New Tools

1. Create `src/tools/your-tool.ts`
2. Implement with validation, API calls, structured response
3. Register in `src/index.ts` (ListTools and CallTool handlers)
4. Add tests in `tests/unit/tools/your-tool.test.ts`
5. Run `npm test` to verify

### Code Standards

- TypeScript strict mode
- All responses include `_meta` field (data source, timestamp)
- Input validation before API calls
- Error handling with sanitized messages
- Mock-based unit tests (no real API calls)

TDQS

A4.3/5.0

Scored across 8 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct aspect of Solana data: token balances, SOL balance, price, transactions, protocol TVL, top protocols, wallet DeFi analysis, and Telegram alerts. No two tools have overlapping functionality.

Naming Consistency4/5

All tools follow snake_case with verb_noun pattern. Minor inconsistency: 'get_token_balances' uses plural while 'get_sol_balance' uses singular, but overall pattern is clear and predictable.

Tool Count5/5

8 tools is well-scoped for the Solana data domain. Covers essential wallet queries, protocol data, and alerting without being excessive or too sparse.

Completeness4/5

Covers core use cases: wallet holdings, prices, transactions, protocol TVL, wallet DeFi analysis, and alerts. Minor gaps like NFT holdings or historical prices, but still robust for informational queries.
