Solana MCP Example

Example Code from Guide: How to Build a Solana MCP Server for LLM Integration

Overview

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) allows you to extend AI assistants like Claude with custom tools that interact with external data sources and services. In this guide, you'll build a Solana MCP server that gives tools like Claude Desktop (or Cursor) the ability to query the Solana blockchain directly. This integration will enable Claude to perform tasks like checking wallet balances, viewing token accounts, retrieving transaction details, and analyzing account information—all while you maintain control over these interactions.

The demo uses:

• Solana Kit
• MCP TypeScript SDK

Supporting resources:

• Guide: How to Build a Solana MCP Server for LLM Integration

Getting Started

Install Dependencies

Open the project dictory:

cd AI/solana-mcp

Then, install the dependencies:

npm install
# or
yarn
# or
pnpm install
# or
bun install

Build the Server:

Then, build the server:

npm run build
# or
yarn build
# or
pnpm build
# or
bun build

Setup Claude Desktop

Update your claude_desktop_config.json file with the content from example Claude desktop config. You can find instructions here.

Make sure to update SOLANA_RPC_ENDPOINT with your Quicknode RPC endpoint. You can get one free here.

Make sure your args pass in the absolute path to the built server (for us it is /YOUR_PATH/build/index.js).

Relaunch Claude Desktop after setting up your config file.

Now you can prompt Claude with commands like:

• What is the Wallet balance of <wallet_address>?
• What is the token balance of <wallet_address>?
• What's the status of the Solana network?
