# MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server that lets AI agents create tokens, manage IPFS metadata, query tokens, and build transaction calldata on Celo and Ethereum.

**Endpoint:** `POST http://localhost:3001/mcp`

## Configuration

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="HTTP (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline)" %}

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "token-minter": { "url": "http://localhost:3001/mcp", "transport": "http" }
  }
}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="stdio (local dev)" %}

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "token-minter": {
      "command": "npm", "args": ["run", "mcp"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/token-manager/backend"
    }
  }
}
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Typical flow

1. `get_supported_chains` → 2. `get_wallet_balance` → 3. `pin_token_metadata` → 4. `build_create_token_transaction` → 5. sign & send → 6. `get_transaction_status` (returns the token address)

## Tools

| Category     | Tool                                  | Purpose                                  |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| Discovery    | `get_supported_chains`                | Chains, factory addresses, RPC URLs      |
|              | `get_token_creation_params`           | Parameters + ABI per chain               |
| Query        | `list_tokens`                         | Tokens on a chain (pagination, ordering) |
|              | `get_token_details`                   | Token info, holders, transfers           |
|              | `get_tokens_by_owner`                 | Tokens owned by an address               |
| Metadata     | `pin_token_metadata`                  | Pin ERC-7572 JSON (+ image) to IPFS      |
|              | `get_token_metadata`                  | Fetch from IPFS by URI/CID               |
| Logos        | `get_token_logo` / `list_token_logos` | Logo URLs                                |
| Transactions | `build_create_token_transaction`      | Ready-to-sign tx                         |
| Wallet       | `get_wallet_balance`                  | CELO/ETH balance check                   |
|              | `estimate_gas`                        | Gas estimate + 20% buffer                |
|              | `get_transaction_status`              | Receipt + created token address          |

**Common arguments:** `chainId` is 42220 (Celo) or 1 (Ethereum). `build_create_token_transaction` requires `chainId`, `owner`, `name`, `symbol`, `initialSupply`, `metadataURI`; `decimals` defaults to 18, `maxSupply` to "0" (unlimited).
