Implementation Reference
- src/wallet.ts:228-246 (handler)Core implementation of the request_devnet_airdrop tool logic: requests SOL airdrop on Solana devnet using the wallet's connection and keypair.
async requestAirdrop(amount: number = 1): Promise<{ success: boolean; amount: number; signature?: string }> { try { const signature = await this.connection.requestAirdrop( this.keypair.publicKey, amount * LAMPORTS_PER_SOL ); await this.connection.confirmTransaction(signature); return { success: true, amount, signature, }; } catch (error: any) { // Rate limited or other error throw new Error(`Airdrop failed: ${error.message}. Try again later or use https://faucet.solana.com`); } } - src/index.ts:182-193 (handler)MCP tool dispatcher handler for 'request_devnet_airdrop': parses input arguments, enforces max amount, delegates to wallet.requestAirdrop, and formats response.
case "request_devnet_airdrop": { const { amount = 1 } = args as { amount?: number }; const result = await wallet.requestAirdrop(Math.min(amount, 2)); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2), }, ], }; } - src/index.ts:79-92 (schema)Input schema definition for the 'request_devnet_airdrop' tool, specifying optional 'amount' parameter.
