RSK MCP Server - Rootstock Blockchain Tools

Rootstock MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides advanced tools for interacting with the Rootstock (RSK) blockchain. This project enables AI clients to seamlessly connect and execute blockchain operations.

🚀 Key Features

• 💼 Wallet Management: Create, import, switch and manage multiple wallets

• 💰 Balance Queries: Check rBTC and ERC20 token balances

• 💸 Transfers: Send rBTC and tokens to other addresses

• 🔍 Transaction Tracking: Verify transaction status by hash

• 🚀 Contract Deployment: Deploy smart contracts on Rootstock

• ✅ Contract Verification: Verify deployed contracts

• 📄 Contract Interaction: Read data from verified contracts

• 📊 History: Query transaction history

• 🎯 Attestations: Create, verify, and manage attestations using RAS (Rootstock Attestation Service)

• 🏗️ Schema Management: Create and manage attestation schemas

• 📝 Attestation Queries: List and filter attestations by various criteria

📋 Prerequisites

• Node.js v18 or higher

• npm or yarn

• TypeScript (included in dev dependencies)

Note: You will use this Model Context Protocol Server from a LLM Client (e.g Cursor, Claude, Warp, etc) which needs to be compatible with the MCP standard. Take into account there are 2 steps here:

1. Installation and Build

2. AI Client Configuration

IMPORTANT: You need to complete both settings to correctly use MCP within the Client.

🛠️ Installation and Build

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/rsksmart/rsk-mcp-server
cd rsk-mcp-server

2. Install Dependencies

npm install

3. Build the Project

npm run build

This command:

• Compiles TypeScript to JavaScript in the build/ folder

• Makes the main file executable (build/index.js)

4. Verify Installation

node build/index.js

Important Note: For local running this MCP, your client will point to the index.js file created on the build folder after building it.

⚙️ AI Client Configuration

🏠 Remote Configuration

For Cursor IDE

In Cursor, go to Settings > Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations

You will see an option to Add Custom MCP

And add to the JSON file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rsk-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@rsksmart/rsk-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}
// The Args field contains the path to the index.js file created by the build.

Note: For install reference on Cursor, please follow these instructions Here

Once it is installed into Cursor, you should see something like:

Green dot indicates it was installed correctly.

For Claude Desktop (Anthropic)

Edit your Claude Desktop configuration file:

Open your Claude client, and then click on Settings/Developer

Click the “Edit Config” button to open the configuration file and add the following configuration:

Note: This action creates a new configuration file if one doesn’t exist, or opens your existing configuration. The file is located at:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rsk-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@rsksmart/rsk-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}
// The Args field contains the path to the index.js file created by the build.

Note: For install reference on Claude, please follow these instructions Here

Once you have installed this MCP on the Claude client, you will see it once you click on the Search and toolsoption under Web search option (see next image)

      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/your/project/rsk-mcp-server/build/index.js"]
    }
  }
}
// The Args field contains the path to the index.js file created by the build.

Note: For install reference on Claude, please follow these instructions Here

Once you have installed this MCP on the Claude client, you will see it once you click on the Search and toolsoption under Web search option (see next image)

For Other MCP Implementations

Any MCP-compatible client can connect using:

node /path/to/project/rsk-mcp-server/build/index.js

🌐 Remote Configuration (URL)

Note: This functionality will be available when the server is deployed to a public endpoint.

Remote Client Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rsk-mcp": {
      "url": "https://your-server.com/mcp-endpoint",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

🔧 Detailed Functionality

Once this MCP is installed on the client, you will be able to interact with it by prompt, using chat box, for example, a good prompt to start interacting with this MCP is to write a prompt like: I would like to start interacting with Rootstock

Then it will require you to give permission to use the MCP tool, you click on accept, and then it should answer something like:

Perfect! The Rootstock CLI is now active and ready to help you interact with the Rootstock blockchain. Here are the available options:
Available Rootstock Operations:
💼 wallet - Manage your wallet (create new, use existing, or import)
💰 balance - Check wallet balances
💸 transfer - Transfer RBTC or ERC20 tokens
🔍 tx - Check transaction status
🚀 deploy - Deploy a smart contract
✅ verify - Verify a contract
📄 contract - Interact with a contract
📊 history - Check transaction history
❓ help - Display help
What would you like to do? If you don't have a wallet yet, I'd recommend starting with option 1 (wallet management) to create or import a wallet first. Then you can proceed with other operations like checking balances, transferring tokens, or deploying contracts.

🔐 Security

Private Key Management

• Private keys are stored encrypted using AES-256

• Each wallet has its own unique IV (initialization vector)

• Passwords are never stored in plain text

Best Practices

• Use strong and unique passwords

• Maintain secure backups of my-wallets.json

• Do not share configuration files

• Use testnet for testing

🐛 Troubleshooting

Error: "Module not found"

npm install
npm run build

MCP Connection Error

• Verify absolute path in configuration

• Ensure the project is compiled

• Check MCP client logs

Wallet Issues

• Verify my-wallets.json format

• Check password in password.json (in case you managed the password in a file)

• Ensure sufficient funds for transactions
