A powerful toolkit for interacting with BNB Chain and other EVM-compatible networks through natural language processing and AI assistance.
BNBChain MCP is a Model Context Protocol implementation that enables seamless interaction with blockchain networks through AI-powered interfaces. It provides a comprehensive set of tools and resources for blockchain development, smart contract interaction, and network management.
The project is organized into several core modules:
- Blocks: Query and manage blockchain blocks
- Contracts: Interact with smart contracts
- Network: Network information and management
- NFT: NFT (ERC721/ERC1155) operations
- Tokens: Token (ERC20) operations
- Transactions: Transaction management
- Wallet: Wallet operations and management
- Common: Shared utilities and types
- Greenfield: Support file management operations on Greenfield network including, uploading, downloading, and managing files and buckets
- Additional features coming soon (Greenfield, Swap, Bridge, etc.)
To connect to the MCP server from Cursor:
- Open Cursor and go to Settings (gear icon in the top right)
- Click on "MCP" in the left sidebar
- Click "Add new global MCP server"
- Enter the following details:
Default mode
{
"mcpServers": {
"bnbchain-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@bnb-chain/mcp@latest"],
"env": {
"PRIVATE_KEY": "your_private_key_here. (optional)"
}
}
}
}SSE mode
{
"mcpServers": {
"bnbchain-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@bnb-chain/mcp@latest", "--sse"],
"env": {
"PRIVATE_KEY": "your_private_key_here. (optional)"
}
}
}
}To connect to the MCP server from Claude Desktop:
- Open Claude Desktop and go to Settings
- Click on "Developer" in the left sidebar
- Click the "Edit Config" Button
- Add the following configuration to the
claude_desktop_config.jsonfile:
{
"mcpServers": {
"bnbchain-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@bnb-chain/mcp@latest"],
"env": {
"PRIVATE_KEY": "your_private_key_here"
}
}
}
}- Save the file and restart Claude Desktop
Once connected, you can use all the MCP prompts and tools directly in your Claude Desktop conversations. For example:
- "Analyze this address: 0x123..."
- "Explain the EVM concept of gas"
- "Check the latest block on BSC"
If you want to integrate BNBChain MCP into your own client, please check out the examples directory for more detailed information and reference implementations.
The examples demonstrate:
- How to set up the MCP client
- Authentication and configuration
- Making API calls to interact with blockchain networks
- Handling responses and errors
- Best practices for integration
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/bnb-chain/bnbchain-mcp.git
cd bnbchain-mcp- Set up environment variables:
cp .env.example .envEdit .env file with your configuration:
PRIVATE_KEY: Your wallet private key (required for transaction operations)LOG_LEVEL: Set logging level (DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR)PORT: Server port number (default: 3001)
- Install dependencies and start development server:
# Install project dependencies
bun install
# Start the development server
bun dev:sseConfigure the local server in your MCP clients using this template:
{
"mcpServers": {
"bnbchain-mcp": {
"url": "http://localhost:3001/sse",
"env": {
"PRIVATE_KEY": "your_private_key_here"
}
}
}
}We use @modelcontextprotocol/inspector for testing. Launch the test UI:
bun run testbun dev:sse: Start development server with hot reloadbun build: Build the projectbun test: Run test suite
