network_switch

Switch Hedera blockchain networks to configure SDK connections, mirror nodes, and RPC endpoints for development, testing, or production deployment.

Instructions

Switch between Hedera networks seamlessly.

NETWORKS: mainnet (production), testnet (testing), previewnet (preview), local (development) UPDATES: All SDK connections, Mirror Node URLs, RPC endpoints automatically

USE FOR: Multi-network development, testing across environments, production deployment.

Implementation Reference

  • The core handler function that switches the Hedera network by executing the 'network use' command via hederaCLI service.
    export async function switchNetwork(args: {
      network: 'mainnet' | 'testnet' | 'previewnet' | 'local';
    }): Promise<ToolResult> {
      try {
        logger.info('Switching network', { network: args.network });
    
        const result = await hederaCLI.executeCommand({
          command: 'network use',
          args: {
            network: args.network,
          },
        });
    
        return result;
      } catch (error) {
        logger.error('Failed to switch network', { error });
        return {
          success: false,
          error: error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error',
        };
      }
    }
  • src/index.ts:583-585 (registration)
    The switch case in the main tool execution handler that routes calls to the switchNetwork function.
    case 'network_switch':
      result = await switchNetwork(args as { network: 'mainnet' | 'testnet' | 'previewnet' | 'local' });
      break;
  • The tool schema definition used in optimizedToolDefinitions array, which is served via ListToolsRequest.
