# Faro Fino - Smart Contract Audit MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for auditing smart contracts using industry-standard tools like Slither, Aderyn, and custom pattern analysis.
## Overview
This MCP server provides a unified interface for running multiple smart contract security analysis tools through the Model Context Protocol. It enables AI assistants and other MCP clients to perform comprehensive security audits on Solidity and Vyper smart contracts.
## Features
- **Slither Integration**: Static analysis framework for Solidity & Vyper
- **Aderyn Integration**: Rust-based static analyzer for Solidity
- **Pattern Analysis**: Custom pattern-based security checks for common vulnerabilities
- **Contract Reading**: Read and inspect contract source code
- **Tool Management**: Check which audit tools are installed and get installation instructions
## Installation
### Option 1: Docker (Recommended - All Tools Pre-installed)
Use Docker for a hassle-free setup with all audit tools pre-installed:
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/italoag/farofino-mcp.git
cd farofino-mcp
# Build and run with Docker Compose
docker-compose build
docker-compose run --rm farofino-mcp
```
**If you encounter network timeout errors during build**, see [DOCKER_NETWORK_TIMEOUT.md](docs/DOCKER_NETWORK_TIMEOUT.md) for quick fixes or use:
```bash
make build-retry # Automatically handles network issues
```
**Advantages:**
- Aderyn and Slither pre-installed
- Consistent environment across all platforms
- No dependency conflicts
- Optimized slim image (~1.3-1.4GB)
See [DOCKER.md](docs/DOCKER.md) for detailed Docker setup and configuration.
### Option 2: pip Installation
#### Prerequisites
- Python 3.9 or higher
- pip
#### Install the MCP Server
```bash
pip install farofino-mcp
```
Or install locally from source:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/italoag/farofino-mcp.git
cd farofino-mcp
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .
```
#### Install Audit Tools (Optional)
The server works with various external audit tools. Install the ones you need:
**Slither:**
```bash
pip install slither-analyzer
```
**Aderyn:** (via [Cyfrinup](https://github.com/Cyfrin/up))
```bash
curl -LsSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Cyfrin/up/main/install | bash
CYFRINUP_ONLY_INSTALL=aderyn cyfrinup
```
You can check which tools are installed using the `check_tools` command.
## Usage
### With Docker
```bash
# Using Docker Compose
docker-compose run --rm farofino-mcp
# Or with Docker directly
docker run -i --rm -v $(pwd)/contracts:/contracts:ro farofino-mcp:latest
```
See [DOCKER.md](docs/DOCKER.md) for detailed Docker usage and configuration.
### Without Docker
#### Running the Server
```bash
python3 -m farofino_mcp
```
Or if installed as a package:
```bash
farofino-mcp
```
### Available Tools
All analysis tools accept either a **single contract file** or a **project root
directory** (the folder containing `foundry.toml` or `hardhat.config.*`). Point them
at the project root whenever a contract imports other files (e.g. OpenZeppelin) so
imports and remappings resolve. Slither/Aderyn results are returned as a **normalized
findings list** (`severity`, `detector`, `contract`, `function`, `file`, `lines`,
`description`, `tool`).
#### audit_project (recommended)
Run **all available analyzers** (Slither, Aderyn, heuristic patterns) in one call and
return a single, merged, normalized report. Skipped tools and per-tool errors are
reported so you always know what actually ran.
**Parameters:**
- `contract_path` (required): Path to a contract file or project root directory
- `tools` (optional): Subset to run, e.g. `["slither", "aderyn", "pattern"]`
- `detectors` / `exclude_detectors` (optional): forwarded to Slither
- `solc_version` (optional): solc version to select via `solc-select` (e.g. `0.8.20`)
**Example:**
```json
{
"contract_path": "/path/to/project",
"exclude_detectors": "naming-convention"
}
```
#### 1. slither_audit
Run Slither static analysis on a smart contract file or project directory.
**Parameters:**
- `contract_path` (required): Path to the contract file (.sol/.vy) or project root
- `detectors` (optional): Comma-separated list of specific detectors to run
- `exclude_detectors` (optional): Comma-separated list of detectors to exclude
- `solc_version` (optional): solc version to select via `solc-select`
**Example:** (replace `/path/to/MyContract.sol` with your actual file path)
```json
{
"contract_path": "/path/to/MyContract.sol",
"detectors": "reentrancy-eth,unchecked-transfer"
}
```
#### 2. aderyn_audit
Run Aderyn static analysis on a smart contract.
**Parameters:**
- `contract_path` (required): Path to the contract file or project root
**Example:** (replace `/path/to/MyContract.sol` with your actual file path)
```json
{
"contract_path": "/path/to/MyContract.sol"
}
```
#### 3. pattern_analysis
Perform basic pattern-based security analysis.
**Parameters:**
- `contract_path` (required): Path to the contract file
**Example:** (replace `/path/to/MyContract.sol` with your actual file path)
```json
{
"contract_path": "/path/to/MyContract.sol"
}
```
Checks for:
- `selfdestruct` usage
- `delegatecall` usage
- `tx.origin` authentication
- Missing SafeMath (pre-0.8.0)
- `block.timestamp` manipulation risks
- Potential reentrancy patterns
#### 4. read_contract
Read and return the source code of a smart contract.
**Parameters:**
- `contract_path` (required): Path to the contract file
**Example:** (replace `/path/to/MyContract.sol` with your actual file path)
```json
{
"contract_path": "/path/to/MyContract.sol"
}
```
#### 5. check_tools
Check which audit tools are installed and available.
**Parameters:** None
**Example:**
```json
{}
```
Returns a list of available and missing tools with installation instructions.
## Configuration with Claude Desktop
Add this to your Claude Desktop configuration file:
### Configuration File Locations
- **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- **Linux**: `~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
### Option 1: Using Docker (Recommended - All Tools Pre-installed)
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"farofino": {
"command": "docker",
"args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-v", "${PWD}/contracts:/contracts:ro", "farofino-mcp:latest"],
"cwd": "/path/to/farofino-mcp"
}
}
}
```
**Notes:**
- Replace `/path/to/farofino-mcp` with the absolute path to this repository on your host machine so Docker sees the right directory.
- On Windows, replace `${PWD}` with `%CD%`.
### Option 2: Using Docker Compose
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"farofino": {
"command": "docker-compose",
"args": ["run", "--rm", "farofino-mcp"],
"cwd": "/path/to/farofino-mcp"
}
}
}
```
**Tip:** Replace `/path/to/farofino-mcp` with the absolute host path so `docker-compose` finds the repo configuration.
### Option 3: Using Python Module (No Docker)
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"farofino": {
"command": "python3",
"args": ["-m", "farofino_mcp"],
"cwd": "/path/to/farofino-mcp"
}
}
}
```
**Tip:** Replace the `cwd` placeholder with the absolute directory where you installed `farofino-mcp`.
### Option 4: Using pip Installation (No Docker)
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"farofino": {
"command": "farofino-mcp"
}
}
}
```
For more Docker configuration options, see [DOCKER.md](docs/DOCKER.md).
## Example Workflow
Replace `/path/to/contract.sol` with the actual location of your Solidity file in the steps below.
1. **Check available tools:**
```
Use check_tools to see which audit tools are installed
```
2. **Read the contract:**
```
Use read_contract with contract_path="/path/to/contract.sol"
```
3. **Run pattern analysis (always available):**
```
Use pattern_analysis with contract_path="/path/to/contract.sol"
```
4. **Run Slither analysis (if installed):**
```
Use slither_audit with contract_path="/path/to/contract.sol"
```
5. **Run additional tools as needed:**
- Aderyn for Rust-based analysis (pre-installed in the Docker image or via Cyfrinup)
## Development
### Building from Source
```bash
git clone https://github.com/italoag/farofino-mcp.git
cd farofino-mcp
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .
```
### Development Mode
```bash
# Run directly from source
python3 -m farofino_mcp
# With debugging
python3 -u -m farofino_mcp
```
### Project Structure

```
### Command-line scanner (no MCP host required)
The same engine that backs the MCP tools is available as a CLI. This is what the
[FaroFino skills](https://github.com/FaroFino/skills) call as a fallback when the MCP
server is not registered:
```bash
# Normalized JSON report (default)
python3 -m farofino_mcp.scan /path/to/project
# Markdown summary table
python3 -m farofino_mcp.scan /path/to/project --format markdown
# Restrict analyzers and write to a file
python3 -m farofino_mcp.scan MyContract.sol --tools slither,pattern --output report.json
```
Exit code is `0` when the scan completes (with or without findings) and `2` on a usage
error or when no analyzers are available.
## Troubleshooting
### Tool not found errors
If you get errors about tools not being found:
1. Run the `check_tools` command to see which tools are installed
2. Install missing tools following the installation instructions above
3. Ensure the tools are in your system PATH
### Permission errors
If you get permission errors when running audit tools:
- Ensure the contract files are readable
- Check that audit tools have proper execution permissions
### Large contracts timing out
For large contracts or complex analysis:
- Use `exclude_detectors` with Slither to skip certain checks
- Run pattern analysis first for a quick overview
