5. Add the tool to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "web3-rpc": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/PATH/TO/web3-mcp/build/index.js"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Tool Registration

The Web3 MCP server allows you to control which blockchain tools are registered through environment variables:

• ENABLE_SOLANA_TOOLS: Enable/disable Solana tools
• ENABLE_ETHEREUM_TOOLS: Enable/disable Ethereum and EVM chain tools
• ENABLE_BITCOIN_TOOLS: Enable/disable Bitcoin tools
• ENABLE_LITECOIN_TOOLS: Enable/disable Litecoin tools
• ENABLE_DOGECOIN_TOOLS: Enable/disable Dogecoin tools
• ENABLE_BITCOINCASH_TOOLS: Enable/disable Bitcoin Cash tools
• ENABLE_THORCHAIN_TOOLS: Enable/disable THORChain tools

Set these variables to true or false in your .env file to control which tools are available to the server. This allows you to:

• Reduce startup time by only loading required tools
• Minimize security surface area by disabling unused chains
• Customize the server for specific use cases
• Control resource usage by limiting active connections

Usage Examples

Ask Claude (or your MCP client of choice):

Solana Operations (when ENABLE_SOLANA_TOOLS=true)

• "What's my Solana address?" - Shows your address derived from private key in .env
• "What's the balance of 62QXuWZ3WT6ws1ZFxJobVDVXn6bEsiYpLo5yG612U6u3?"
• "Transfer 0.001 SOL to Cg6cVS4tjkxHthm3K9BHhmvqF7kSz8GnXqqYXnHBzGXd"
• "Show me my SPL token balances"
• "Swap 0.1 SOL to USDC" (Uses Jupiter for best price routing)

Security Notes

1. Environment Variables: All private keys are stored in the .env file and never exposed in the conversation history
2. Private Keys: Only use this with test wallets containing small amounts of funds
3. RPC Endpoints: Custom RPC endpoints can be configured in the .env file for better reliability and rate limits
4. .env Security: The .env file is automatically ignored by git to prevent accidental exposure of private keys
5. Tool Registration: Use the tool registration controls to minimize security surface area by only enabling required chains

Advanced Configuration

Custom RPC Endpoints

You can configure custom RPC endpoints in your .env file for better reliability and higher rate limits. If not specified, the tool will fall back to public RPC endpoints.

Network Selection

For EVM operations, you can specify the network by name (ethereum, base, arbitrum, optimism, bsc, polygon, avalanche, berachain). The tool will automatically use the appropriate RPC endpoint and network configuration.

THORChain Configuration

The tool uses Nine Realms public endpoints by default, but you can configure a custom THORChain node URL in the .env file for better reliability and rate limits.

UTXO Chain Data Providers

The tool uses several data providers for UTXO chains:

• BlockCypher
• SoChain
• Haskoin (for Bitcoin Cash)

You can configure API keys for these providers in the .env file for better rate limits.

Development

To modify or extend the tool:

1. Source code is in the src directory
2. Chain-specific code in src/chains
3. Run npm run build after making changes
4. Use TypeScript for all new code
