Prerequisites

Quick Start (npx)

No install needed — run directly with npx:

claude mcp add foundry-zksync -- npx -y foundry-zksync-mcp

Or add to claude_desktop_config.json / ~/.claude.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "foundry-zksync": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "foundry-zksync-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Install from Source

git clone https://github.com/Jrigada/foundry-zksync-mcp.git
cd foundry-zksync-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Then register with Claude Code:

claude mcp add foundry-zksync node /absolute/path/to/foundry-zksync-mcp/dist/index.js

Key Management

All signing tools (deploy, cast_send, run_script) support multiple wallet methods. Choose based on your security needs:

Local Development (anvil-zksync)

For local dev with well-known test keys, use privateKey directly:

privateKey: "0xac0974bec39a17e36ba4a6b4d238ff944bacb478cbed5efcae784d7bf4f2ff80"

These are the default anvil-zksync test accounts — they hold no real value.

Warning: Never use privateKey with keys that hold real funds. MCP tool parameters are visible to the AI assistant and may be logged.

Keys are encrypted on disk — only the account name travels through MCP.

# Import a private key into a named keystore (interactive, key never shown)
cast wallet import deployer --interactive

# List your keystores
ls ~/.foundry/keystores/

Then use account: "deployer" in any signing tool. Forge will prompt for the password at runtime, or you can point to a password file with passwordFile.

Keystore Files

If you have an existing encrypted keystore JSON file (e.g. from Geth, MetaMask export):

keystore: "/path/to/keystore.json"
passwordFile: "/path/to/password.txt"

Hardware Wallets

ledger: true    # Ledger
trezor: true    # Trezor

Cloud KMS

aws: true       # AWS KMS (set AWS_KMS_KEY_ID env var)
gcp: true       # Google Cloud KMS (set GCP_PROJECT_ID, GCP_LOCATION, etc.)
