A comprehensive [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server that gives AI agents and LLMs full access to the Algorand blockchain. Built by [GoPlausible](https://goplausible.com).

Algorand is a carbon-negative, pure proof-of-stake Layer 1 blockchain with instant finality, low fees, and built-in support for smart contracts (AVM), standard assets (ASAs), and atomic transactions.

## What is MCP?

[Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) is an open standard that lets AI applications connect to external tools and data sources. This server exposes Algorand blockchain operations as MCP tools that any compatible AI client can use — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and others.

## Features

- Secure wallet management via OS keychain — private keys never exposed to agents or LLMs
- Wallet accounts nicknames, allowances, and daily limits for safe spending control
- Account creation, key management, and rekeying
- Transaction building, signing, and submission (payments, assets, applications, key registration)
- Atomic transaction groups
- TEAL compilation and disassembly
- Full Algod and Indexer API access
- NFDomains (NFD) name service integration
- x402 and AP2 toolins for Algorand
- Tinyman AMM integration (pools, swaps, liquidity)
- Haystack Router DEX aggregation (best-price swaps across Tinyman, Pact, Folks)
- Alpha Arcade prediction market trading (browse markets, orderbooks, limit/market orders, positions, claims)
- ARC-26 URI and QR code generation
- Algorand knowledge base with full developer documentation taxonomy
- Per-tool-call network selection (mainnet, testnet, localnet) and pagination

## Requirements

- Node.js v20 or later
- npm, pnpm, or yarn

## Installation

### From npm

```bash
npm install -g @goplausible/algorand-mcp
```

### From source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/GoPlausible/algorand-mcp.git
cd algorand-mcp
npm install
npm run build
```

## MCP Configuration

The server runs over **stdio**. There are three ways to invoke it — pick whichever suits your setup:

| Method | Command | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| **npx** (recommended) | `npx @goplausible/algorand-mcp` | No install needed, always latest version |
| **Global install** | `algorand-mcp` | After `npm install -g @goplausible/algorand-mcp` |
| **Absolute path** | `node /path/to/dist/index.js` | Built from source or local clone |

**No environment variables are required** for standard use. Network selection, pagination, and node URLs are all handled dynamically per tool call.

---

### OpenClaw

No manual configuration needed — install the [`@goplausible/openclaw-algorand-plugin`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@goplausible/openclaw-algorand-plugin) npm package and the Algorand MCP server is configured automatically:

```bash
npm install -g @goplausible/openclaw-algorand-plugin
```

    "algorand-mcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@goplausible/algorand-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

---

### Any MCP-compatible client

The server speaks the standard MCP stdio protocol. For any client not listed above, configure it with:

- **Command:** `npx` (or `algorand-mcp` if globally installed, or `node /path/to/dist/index.js`)
- **Args:** `["@goplausible/algorand-mcp"]` (for npx)
- **Transport:** `stdio`

## Network Selection

Every tool accepts an optional `network` parameter: `"mainnet"` (default), `"testnet"`, or `"localnet"`. Algod and Indexer URLs are built-in for mainnet and testnet via [AlgoNode](https://algonode.io/).

Example tool call:
```json
{ "name": "api_algod_get_account_info", "arguments": { "address": "ABC...", "network": "testnet" } }
```

If no `network` is provided, tools default to **mainnet**.

## Pagination

API responses are automatically paginated. Every tool accepts an optional `itemsPerPage` parameter (default: 10). Pass the `pageToken` from a previous response to fetch the next page.

## Secure Wallet

### Architecture

The wallet system has two layers of storage, each with a distinct security role:

| Layer | What it stores | Where | Encryption |
|---|---|---|---|
| **OS Keychain** | Mnemonics (secret keys) | macOS Keychain / Linux libsecret / Windows Credential Manager | OS-managed, hardware-backed where available |
| **Embedded SQLite** | Account metadata (nicknames, allowances, spend tracking) | `~/.algorand-mcp/wallet.db` | Plaintext (no secrets) |

**Private key material never appears in tool responses, MCP config files, environment variables, or logs.** The agent only sees addresses, public keys, and signed transaction blobs.

### How it works

```
  Agent (LLM)                    MCP Server                     Storage

       │ ──────────────────────────►  │  check spending limits       │

       │                              │                              │
```

1. **Account creation** (`wallet_add_account`) — Generates a keypair, stores the mnemonic in the OS keychain, and stores metadata (nickname, spending limits) in SQLite. Returns **only** address and public key.
2. **Active account** — One account is active at a time. `wallet_switch_account` changes it by nickname or index. All signing and query tools operate on the active account.
3. **Transaction signing** (`wallet_sign_transaction`) — Checks per-transaction and daily spending limits, retrieves the key from the keychain, signs in memory, discards the key. Returns only the signed blob.
4. **Data signing** (`wallet_sign_data`) — Signs arbitrary hex data using raw Ed25519 via the [`@noble/curves`](https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-curves) library (no Algorand SDK prefix). Useful for off-chain authentication.
5. **Asset opt-in** (`wallet_optin_asset`) — Creates, signs, and submits an opt-in transaction for the active account in one step.

### Spending limits

Each account has two configurable limits (in microAlgos, 0 = unlimited):

- **`allowance`** — Maximum amount per single transaction. Rejects any transaction exceeding this.
- **`dailyAllowance`** — Maximum total spend per calendar day across all transactions. Automatically resets at midnight. Tracked in SQLite.

### Platform keychain support

The keychain backend is provided by [`@napi-rs/keyring`](https://github.com/nicolo-ribaudo/napi-keyring) (Rust-based, prebuilt binaries):

| Platform | Backend |
|---|---|
| macOS | Keychain Services (the system Keychain app) |
| Linux | libsecret (GNOME Keyring) or KWallet |
| Windows | Windows Credential Manager |

All credentials are stored under the service name `algorand-mcp`. You can inspect them with your OS keychain app (e.g. Keychain Access on macOS).

## Optional Environment Variables

Environment variables are only needed for special setups. Pass them via the `env` block in your MCP config.

| Variable | Description | Default | When needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| `ALGORAND_TOKEN` | API token for private/authenticated nodes | `""` | Connecting to a private Algod/Indexer node |
| `ALGORAND_LOCALNET_URL` | Localnet base URL | `""` | Using `network: "localnet"` (e.g. `http://localhost:4001`) |
| `ALPHA_API_KEY` | Alpha Arcade API key | `""` | Accessing reward market data |


### Example: localnet (AlgoKit)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "algorand-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/algorand-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "ALGORAND_LOCALNET_URL": "http://localhost:4001",
        "ALGORAND_TOKEN": "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Then use `"network": "localnet"` in your tool calls.

## Response Format

All tool responses follow the MCP content format. API responses include automatic pagination when datasets exceed `itemsPerPage` (default 10):

```json
{
  "data": { ... },
  "metadata": {
    "totalItems": 100,
    "itemsPerPage": 10,
    "currentPage": 1,
    "totalPages": 10,
    "hasNextPage": true,
    "pageToken": "eyJ..."
  }
}
```

Pass `pageToken` from a previous response to fetch the next page. Set `itemsPerPage` on any tool call to control page size.

## Development

```bash
# Install dependencies
npm install

# Type-check
npm run typecheck

# Build
npm run build

# Clean build output
npm run clean
```

## Testing

The project has a comprehensive dual-layer test suite: fast **unit tests** (mocked, no network) and real **E2E tests** (live testnet). Both use [Jest 29](https://jestjs.io/) with [ts-jest](https://kulshekhar.github.io/ts-jest/) and ESM support.

### Quick start

```bash
npm test                    # Unit tests (fast, no network)
npm run test:e2e            # E2E tests (testnet, generates account + fund link)
npm run test:all            # Both
```

### Unit tests

Unit tests cover all 11 tool categories with fully mocked network dependencies. They run in parallel and finish in ~5 seconds. No environment variables or funded accounts are needed.

```bash
npm test
```

**Coverage:** 11 suites, 75+ tests covering success paths, error handling, and edge cases for every tool category.

| Suite | What it tests |
|---|---|
| `accountManager` | Account creation, mnemonic round-trips, rekey parameter validation |
| `utilityManager` | Ping, address validation, encode/decode, sign/verify bytes, encode/decode objects |
| `walletManager` | Full lifecycle: add → list → switch → get info → sign data → remove (mocked keychain + SQLite) |
| `transactionManager` | Payment, asset, app transaction building; sign_transaction; assign_group_id |
| `algodManager` | TEAL compile/disassemble, send raw, simulate |
| `apiAlgod` | All 13 algod API tools with correct mock routing |
| `apiIndexer` | All 17 indexer API tools with fluent builder mocks |
| `apiNfd` | NFD get/search/browse with mocked fetch |
| `apiTinyman` | Tinyman pool/swap with error handling |
| `arc26Manager` | ARC-26 URI generation and QR code SVG output |
| `knowledgeManager` | Knowledge document retrieval and missing-doc error handling |

#### How mocking works

Unit tests use `jest.unstable_mockModule()` (ESM-compatible) to intercept imports before they load. The shared [tests/helpers/mockFactories.ts](tests/helpers/mockFactories.ts) provides:

- **`setupNetworkMocks()`** — Replaces `algorand-client.ts` with mock algod/indexer clients that return deterministic responses without any network calls.
- **`createKeychainMock()`** — Replaces `@napi-rs/keyring` with an in-memory `Map`, so wallet tests work without an OS keychain.
- **Fluent Proxy mocks** — Algorand's Indexer SDK uses a builder pattern (`.searchForAssets().limit(5).do()`). The mock factory uses ES `Proxy` objects that return themselves for any chained method and resolve when `.do()` is called.

### E2E tests

E2E tests call tool handlers directly against **Algorand testnet** (via [AlgoNode](https://algonode.io/) public nodes). They run serially to avoid rate-limiting.

```bash
npm run test:e2e
```

On first run (no mnemonic provided), the test setup:
1. Generates a new Algorand account
2. Prints the address and mnemonic
3. Prints a fund link: https://lora.algokit.io/testnet/fund
4. Runs all tests (unfunded tests still pass)

To run with a funded account:

```bash
E2E_MNEMONIC="word1 word2 ... word25" npm run test:e2e
```

**Coverage:** 11 suites, 35+ tests covering real network interactions.

| Suite | What it tests |
|---|---|
| `account` | Account creation, mnemonic-to-key round-trip chain |
| `utility` | Ping, address validation, encode/decode, sign/verify bytes, encode/decode objects |
| `wallet` | Full wallet lifecycle: add → list → switch → get info → get assets → sign data → remove |
| `transaction` | Build payment → sign → verify txID; build asset opt-in; build group with assign_group_id |
| `algod` | Compile + disassemble TEAL round-trip |
| `algodApi` | Account info, suggested params, node status, asset info via algod |
| `indexerApi` | Account lookup, asset/transaction/account search via indexer |
| `nfd` | Look up "algo.algo", search NFDs, browse NFDs |
| `tinyman` | Get ALGO/USDC pool |
| `arc26` | Generate ARC-26 URI, verify format + QR SVG |
| `knowledge` | Retrieve known knowledge doc content |

### Category activation

E2E tests can be selectively enabled by category or individual tool via environment variables. **By default all categories are enabled.**

#### Enable specific categories

```bash
E2E_WALLET=1 npm run test:e2e            # Only wallet tests
E2E_ALGOD=1 E2E_UTILITY=1 npm run test:e2e  # Algod + utility tests
```

#### Available category flags

| Env var | Category |
|---|---|
| `E2E_ALL=1` | All categories (explicit) |
| `E2E_WALLET=1` | Wallet tools |
| `E2E_ACCOUNT=1` | Account tools |
| `E2E_UTILITY=1` | Utility tools |
| `E2E_TRANSACTION=1` | Transaction tools |
| `E2E_ALGOD=1` | Algod tools |
| `E2E_ALGOD_API=1` | Algod API tools |
| `E2E_INDEXER_API=1` | Indexer API tools |
| `E2E_NFD=1` | NFDomains tools |
| `E2E_TINYMAN=1` | Tinyman tools |
| `E2E_ARC26=1` | ARC-26 tools |
| `E2E_KNOWLEDGE=1` | Knowledge tools |

**Important:** Setting any individual flag (e.g. `E2E_WALLET=1`) disables all other categories unless `E2E_ALL=1` is also set.

#### Enable specific tools

```bash
E2E_TOOLS=ping,validate_address npm run test:e2e
```

The `E2E_TOOLS` variable accepts a comma-separated list of tool names. Only tests for those specific tools will run.

### Writing new tests

**Unit test template:**

```typescript
import { jest } from '@jest/globals';
import { setupNetworkMocks } from '../helpers/mockFactories.js';

jest.unstable_mockModule('../../src/algorand-client.js', () => setupNetworkMocks());

const { YourManager } = await import('../../src/tools/yourManager.js');

describe('YourManager', () => {
  it('does something', async () => {
    const result = await YourManager.handleTool('tool_name', { arg: 'value' });
    const data = JSON.parse(result.content[0].text);
    expect(data.field).toBeDefined();
  });
});
```

**E2E test template:**

```typescript
import { describeIf, testConfig } from '../helpers/testConfig.js';
import { invokeTool, parseToolResponse } from '../helpers/e2eSetup.js';

describeIf(testConfig.isCategoryEnabled('your-category'))('Your Tools (E2E)', () => {
  it('does something on testnet', async () => {
    const data = parseToolResponse(
      await invokeTool('tool_name', { arg: 'value', network: 'testnet' }),
    );
    expect(data.field).toBeDefined();
  });
});
```
