IndigoProtocol/indigo-mcp
OfficialThis server provides a comprehensive set of tools to interact with the Indigo Protocol on Cardano, enabling querying of asset prices, CDP management, staking, governance, and DEX operations. Write operations return unsigned CBOR transactions for client-side signing and require a Blockfrost API key.
Asset & Price Data
Fetch prices for iAssets (iUSD, iBTC, iETH, iSOL), ADA, and INDY tokens, along with detailed asset information.
CDP / Loan Management
Query all CDPs or filter by iAsset, owner, or address; analyze health, collateral ratios, and liquidation risk.
Open, deposit, withdraw, close, mint, burn, liquidate, redeem, freeze, and merge CDP positions.
Open leveraged CDPs by redeeming against ROB positions.
Stability Pool
Query stability pool states and accounts (filtered by iAsset or owner).
Create, adjust, and close stability pool accounts; process or cancel pending requests.
INDY Staking
View staking manager state and positions (by owner or address).
Open, adjust, and close staking positions; distribute ADA rewards to stakers.
Redemption Order Book (ROB)
Query open ROB positions, executed redemption orders, and aggregated redemption queues.
Open, cancel, adjust, claim, and redeem against ROB positions.
Analytics & Governance
Retrieve historical TVL, APR rewards, DEX farm yields, and aggregated protocol statistics.
Access governance protocol parameters, temperature checks, and governance polls.
DEX Proxy
Query Steelswap tokens and swap estimates, Iris liquidity pools, and token balances for a Cardano address via Blockfrost.
Collector & IPFS
Fetch collector UTXOs for fee distribution; store and retrieve text content on IPFS by CID.
Payment Gating: Optional x402 micropayment integration for tool access.
Provides tools for interacting with the Cardano blockchain, enabling management of Indigo Protocol positions, tracking of ADA and INDY token prices, and execution of on-chain operations like staking and liquidations.
Enables storage and retrieval of data through the IPFS protocol as part of the server's protocol maintenance features.
Indigo MCP
MCP server for Indigo Protocol — exposes Indigo iAsset data, prices, and CDP/loan analytics to LLM agents via the Model Context Protocol.

Quick Start
Automatic Setup (Recommended)
Run the interactive setup to automatically configure your MCP client:
npx @indigoprotocol/indigo-mcp setupThis will:
Ask which client you're using (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf)
Prompt for your Blockfrost API key
Automatically update your config file
Manual Installation
Install globally:
npm install -g @indigoprotocol/indigo-mcpOr run directly with npx (no install needed):

When connected to an LLM agent, you can ask natural language questions like:
"What are the current prices of all Indigo iAssets?"
"What is the price of iUSD right now?"
"How much is ADA worth in USD?"
"Show me all iETH CDPs"
"What CDPs does this address own?" (paste a Cardano address)
"Analyze the health of my CDPs" (with your address or payment key hash)
"Are any of my positions at risk of liquidation?"
"Show me the current stability pool state"
"What are my stability pool deposits?" (with your address)
"How much INDY am I staking?" (with your address)
"What's the current TVL of Indigo?"
"What APR can I earn on iUSD stability pool?"
"What are the current governance protocol parameters?"
"Show me the iUSD redemption queue"

The server communicates over stdio using JSON-RPC. You can test tools directly:
npm run build
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"0.1.0"}}}' | node dist/index.jsx402 Payment Gating
Indigo MCP optionally gates tools behind per-call micropayments using the x402 protocol. Payment is disabled by default — set at least one wallet address to enable it.
How it works
Payment uses the split execution model — the same architecture as openMM-MCP:
A tool is called (no payment header needed from the caller)
The gate intercepts and contacts the settlement worker (
mcp.openmm.ioby default)Worker responds
402with EIP-3009 requirements (amount, recipient, chain)Gate signs locally using
X402_PRIVATE_KEY— the key never leaves this processGate retries with the signed payment → worker verifies on-chain, issues a JWT
Gate verifies JWT locally, executes the original tool handler
Settlement tx hash is injected into the tool response
This keeps process isolation clean: indigo-mcp never holds the recipient wallet — only the payer key. Verification and settlement are handled by the openmm.io proxy.
Read tools (
get_tvl,get_asset_price, …) cost $0.001 USDC per callAnalysis tools (
analyze_cdp_health) cost $0.005 USDC per callWrite tools (
open_cdp,mint_cdp, …) cost $0.01 USDC per call
Environment variables
Variable | Required | Default | Description |
| to enable | — | EVM private key ( |
| optional |
| Settlement worker / proxy URL |
| optional |
| Use Base Sepolia testnet |
| optional | — | Fallback facilitator URL (used only when |
Split execution flow
When X402_PRIVATE_KEY is set, every paid tool call is handled transparently:
Gate contacts
PAYMENT_SERVER(https://mcp.openmm.ioby default)Signs EIP-3009 locally — the private key never leaves this process
Proxy verifies on-chain, issues a short-lived JWT
Gate verifies JWT, executes tool, injects settlement tx hash into response
If X402_PRIVATE_KEY is not set the gate is disabled and all tools execute without payment.
