Installation

bun install

Usage

Starting the Server

Local (stdio) Mode

bun start

Remote HTTP Mode

bun start:http
# Or with custom port
PORT=8080 bun start:http

The server supports both stdio (for local use) and HTTP (for remote access) transports.

Configuration

Set environment variables:

• LENS_ENVIRONMENT: Set to "testnet" for testnet, defaults to mainnet

• PORT: HTTP server port (default: 3000)

MCP Client Configuration

Local Server Configuration

Add this server to your MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lens-protocol": {
      "command": "bun",
      "args": ["index.ts"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/lens-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Remote Server Configuration

For remote HTTP access:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lens-protocol-remote": {
      "transport": {
        "type": "http",
        "url": "https://lens-mcp.wooo.guru/mcp"
      }
    }
  }
}

Development

Running in Development Mode

# Stdio mode
bun dev

# HTTP mode  
bun dev:http

Testing

# Run unit tests
bun test

# Run integration tests  
bun test:integration

# Run all tests
bun test:all

Docker Deployment

# Build and run with Docker
docker build -f docker/Dockerfile -t lens-mcp .
docker run -p 3000:3000 lens-mcp

# Or use docker-compose
docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up

🏗️ Architecture & Design Principles

Built With

• @lens-protocol/client@canary - Official Lens Protocol TypeScript SDK

• @modelcontextprotocol/sdk - MCP server implementation

• Bun - Fast JavaScript runtime and package manager

Design Principles

1. Workflow-Focused: Tools match natural task subdivisions

2. Context Efficient: Built-in token limits and smart pagination

3. Natural Language: Returns semantic summaries by default

4. Actionable Errors: Error messages include specific guidance

5. Multiple Formats: Choose between concise, detailed, or raw output

Limitations

• Search functionality is limited in public client mode (requires authenticated session)

• Some advanced features require authentication which is not implemented in this server

• Rate limiting depends on Lens Protocol API limits
