# Algorand MCP Implementation
## Overview
Model context protocol:
Quoting from [MCP website](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/), MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications. Just as USB-C provides a standardized way to connect your devices to various peripherals and accessories, MCP provides a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.

[MCP Github](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol) contains more information and different tools and specifications plus documentation of MCP.
This repository is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation for Algorand blockchain interactions. The implementation consists of:
- (PRODUCTION) A server package for blockchain interactions (Node.js only)
- (WIP) A client package for wallet management and transaction signing (supports both browser and Node.js)
**š¦ Packages:**
- **[Algorand MCP Server](packages/server/README.md)** - Algorand MCP server full implementation.
- **[Algorand MCP Client](packages/client/README.md)** - Algorand MCP Client for client side Wallet management and transaction signing, as well as integration by other Agent hosts.
**š¦ Smithery:**
- **[Algorand MCP Server on Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/@GoPlausible/algorand-mcp)** - Algorand MCP server implementation via smithery.
IMPORTANT: The client package is still a work in progress and is not yet fully functional. The server package, however, is fully operational and can be used for to integrate Algorand blockchain to any agent system that supports Model Context Protocol (MCP).
## Features
- Complete Algorand blockchain interaction capabilities
- Extensive wallet management system
- Comprehensive transaction handling
- Rich blockchain state querying
- Built-in security features
- Support for Claude Desktop and Cursor integration
## Requirements
- Node.js v23.6.1 or later
- npm v10.2.4 or later
## Installation
### Via NPM (for developers who wish to run their own instances)
```bash
# Install both client and server packages
npm install algorand-mcp
```
### Via Smithery (For all users)
Go to [Algorand MCP Server on Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/@GoPlausible/algorand-mcp) and select your AI tool and platform. Copy either command or copy depending on if you are using the command or MCP config JSON to connect to MCP Server. Click connect to start!

#### Using command
First let's copy the command from Smithery (Please make sure your tool of choice and platform are selected correctly!)

Then paste that in the command field of New MCP server dialog

Then The MCP server is detected and loading tools and resources

And it is good to go!

#### Using settings JSON
Copy the JSON from Smithery

Now open MCP settings in your tool of choice (Claud Desktop, Cursor,...) and Paste the copied JSON there as a whole and save the file.
You are good to go!

#### Important note for Windows OS Users
Please not that if you receive "Server Closed" or "Connection Closed" Then you need to try and change the `cmd` command with `C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe` as suggested by Smithery!

#### Important note for Cursor Users
Cursor does not yet support the `Resources` Capability of MCP protocol! They are working on it.

## Project Architecture
The project follows a modular architecture with two main packages:
1. **Server Package (`@algorand-mcp/server`)**
- Provides MCP tools and resources
- Manages blockchain interactions
- Handles transaction creation and submission
- Offers comprehensive blockchain queries
2. **Client Package (`@algorand-mcp/client`)**
- Handles wallet connections and transaction signing
- Supports both local and external wallets
- Universal compatibility (browser/Node.js)
- Secure credential management
- Still work in progress (Server works irrelevant to client status)
