Mantle Network MCP Server (mantle-mcp)

A highly optimized Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built with Python and FastMCP. This server exposes a suite of tools that enable agentic frameworks and LLM interfaces (like KinetiFi) to interact with the Mantle Network (Layer 2 on Ethereum) for querying native and ERC-20 balances, checking allowances, retrieving DEX swap quotes (V2 and V3 architectures), estimating L2 gas costs, and managing on-chain Real World Assets (RWA) and ERC-8004 Agent Identities/Reputations.

Features

• Asynchronous Architecture: Built from the ground up using asyncio and web3[async] to minimize latency and maximize performance when handling multiple requests.

• Dynamic Token Resolution: Resolves token symbols (e.g., USDC, WETH) dynamically by checking a local registry first, then falling back to Blockscout Explorer APIs for both mainnet and testnet.

• Uniswap V3 / Merchant Moe / Agni Finance Integration: Computes exact, real-time swap quotes (quoteExactInputSingle) using standard Uniswap V3 QuoterV2 logic.

• ERC-8004 Identity & Reputation: Implements the proposed ERC-8004 standard on Mantle to register agent ownership and verify reputation scores on-chain.

• RWA Yield Optimization: Integrates Mantle Staked Ether (mETH) yield index queries and Ondo USDY transaction generators.

• Zero-Trust & Stateless: Exposes read-only queries and generates unsigned EVM transaction payloads (to, data, value). Never requests, handles, or stores private keys.

• Offline Test Suite: A robust and comprehensive test suite using pytest and unittest.mock for fully offline, fast, and deterministic verification of all L2 RPC and API interactions.

Prerequisites

Before setting up the project, ensure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.10+ (tested and verified on Python 3.14)

• Virtual Environment Tool (venv)

• MCP Host (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor, Roo-Code, or any custom client)

Installation & Setup

Follow these steps to set up the Mantle MCP server locally:

1. Clone & Navigate to Directory

cd /home/tmalone1250/KinetiFi_local/mantle-mcp

2. Create and Activate Virtual Environment

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

3. Install Dependencies

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

Environment variables are managed using a .env file in the project root. Create or update .env as follows:

# Mantle Network MCP Server Environment Variables
# Leave blank to use the official public RPC endpoints, or override them below.

# Mainnet RPC Endpoint (Default: https://rpc.mantle.xyz)
MANTLE_RPC_URL=

# Sepolia Testnet RPC Endpoint (Default: https://rpc.sepolia.mantle.xyz)
MANTLE_SEPOLIA_RPC_URL=

Fallback Network Constants

If the environment variables are left blank, the server automatically falls back to these defaults:

Running the Server

You can run the Mantle MCP server in two modes:

Development Mode (with Live Reload)

To inspect tools, test outputs, and log streams via a graphical web interface, run:

fastmcp dev server.py

Production Mode

Run the server to handle MCP JSON-RPC standard input/output streams:

python server.py

Integrating with MCP Clients

To link mantle-mcp to your favorite LLM assistant client, register it under the custom MCP servers config file:

Token Registry Details

The server includes a built-in fast local registry for common assets. If a token is queried that does not exist in the local registry, the server issues an asynchronous HTTP query to the Blockscout Explorer Search API to resolve the address dynamically.

Testing

The project has a 100% mocked, deterministic test suite, meaning you can run all tests offline without needing live RPC access or internet connectivity.

Run all tests using the virtual environment pytest executable:

.venv/bin/pytest -v

Security & Architectural Standards

1. Explicit Type Hints: Every function signature specifies types for input parameters and return shapes.

2. Robust Error Handling: System calls catch RPC connection failures, contract reverts, and invalid address validation errors, returning structured error messages rather than crashing.

3. Zero State Modification: The MCP server tools are read-only (view and gas estimation). They do not store private keys, hold funds, or initiate state-changing transactions directly, rendering the server highly secure.
