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
• ENABLE_RIPPLE_TOOLS: Enable/disable XRP Ledger tools
• ENABLE_CARDANO_TOOLS: Enable/disable Cardano tools
• ENABLE_TON_TOOLS: Enable/disable TON 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

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.

Cardano Configuration

The tool uses the Blockfrost API and Lucid library to interact with the Cardano blockchain.

• BLOCKFROST_API_KEY: Required - Your Blockfrost API key (register at https://blockfrost.io/)
• CARDANO_NETWORK: Optional - The Cardano network to use (mainnet, testnet, preview, preprod). Defaults to 'mainnet'
• CARDANO_MNEMONIC: Required for transactions - Your Cardano wallet's mnemonic phrase (15 or 24 words)
• CARDANO_ACCOUNT_INDEX: Optional - The account index to use (defaults to 0)

The wallet derived from your mnemonic will be used to sign and send transactions.

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.

XRP Ledger Configuration

The tool can use either a private key or mnemonic phrase for XRP transactions. Configure these in your .env file:

• XRP_PRIVATE_KEY: Your XRP private key in hex format
• XRP_MNEMONIC: Alternative to private key - your 12-word recovery phrase
• XRP_ADDRESS: Optional - Your XRP account address (used to verify the derived address)
• XRP_RPC_URL: Optional - Custom XRP Ledger node URL (defaults to public endpoint)

TON Configuration

The tool uses TON Center's API by default and requires a mnemonic phrase for TON transactions. Configure these in your .env file:

• TON_MNEMONIC: Required - Your 24-word recovery phrase for TON wallet
• TON_ADDRESS: Required - Your TON wallet address
• TON_API_KEY: Recommended - API key from @tonapibot on Telegram (for higher rate limits)
• TON_RPC_URL: Optional - Custom TON RPC URL (defaults to TON Center API)

The implementation includes automatic retry logic with exponential backoff for rate limit handling.

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
