Lido MCP Server

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Lido Finance operations

Built by AOX (@AOXexchange, aox.llc) for The Synthesis Ethereum Agent Hackathon 2026.

Overview

This MCP server gives AI agents native access to Lido staking operations. Point Claude (or any MCP-compatible client) at this server and stake ETH from a conversation — zero custom code.

Transport: stdio (MCP standard — not an HTTP server) Wallet: 0x7e7f825248Ae530610F34a5deB9Bc423f6d63373

Available Tools

All write operations support dry_run: true for safe testing.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/GeObts/lido-mcp.git
cd lido-mcp
npm install

Environment Setup

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and set AOX_BANKER_PRIVATE_KEY (never commit real keys)

The server loads the private key from (first match wins):

1. AOX_BANKER_PRIVATE_KEY environment variable (set by MCP client config)

2. .env file in the project root

3. ~/.openclaw/.env (legacy AOX agent path)

Usage with MCP Clients

Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lido": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/lido-mcp/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "AOX_BANKER_PRIVATE_KEY": "0xYourPrivateKeyHere"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The Lido tools appear automatically.

Claude Code

claude mcp add lido node /path/to/lido-mcp/index.js

Example Conversation

User: "Stake 0.01 ETH via Lido"

Claude: Calls lido_stake with dry_run: true first

Simulation successful:

• Stake: 0.01 ETH → ~0.01 stETH

• Gas: ~0.015 ETH

• Current APY: 3.2% (live from Lido API)

Proceed with the real transaction?

User: "Yes"

Claude: Calls lido_stake with dry_run: false

Transaction confirmed:

• Hash: 0x...

• stETH received: 0.00998

• Now earning staking rewards

Live Proof — Dry Run Results

Real simulations executed on mainnet:

lido_stake (dry_run)

{
  "success": true,
  "dry_run": true,
  "operation": "stake",
  "amount": "0.01",
  "contract": "0xae7ab96520DE3A18E5e111B5EaAb095312D7fE84",
  "network": "ethereum-mainnet",
  "estimated_stETH": "0.01",
  "current_apy_percent": 3.2,
  "gas_estimate": "~0.015 ETH"
}

lido_balance (live query)

{
  "success": true,
  "address": "0x7e7f825248Ae530610F34a5deB9Bc423f6d63373",
  "total_stETH_equivalent": "0.0",
  "current_apy_percent": 3.2,
  "apy_source": "Lido API (live)"
}

Security

This server handles real funds.

• Private keys stored in .env (gitignored) — never committed

• Rate limiting: 10 calls/minute per tool

• Input validation: 0.001–10 ETH per stake transaction

• Dynamic gas pricing with 20% buffer

• dry_run mode on all write operations

• Live APY from Lido API (cached 5 min, falls back gracefully)

AOX Integration

This MCP server powers the Banker Agent in the AOX autonomous pipeline:

1. Marketplace Agent sells leads → receives USDC

2. Banker Agent swaps 20% of USDC → ETH

3. This MCP server stakes ETH → stETH via lido_stake

4. Treasury earns 3-4% APY on idle funds

Fully autonomous. Zero human intervention.
