qubic-mcp
MCP server for the Qubic cryptocurrency — enabling AI assistants to interact with the Qubic network.
Overview
qubic-mcp is an open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI assistants — Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor, and others — native access to the Qubic blockchain.
Query balances, inspect transactions, monitor the network, trade on QX, switch between networks, and interact with smart contracts — all through natural language.

Quick Start
Works with any MCP-compatible AI client — Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini, JetBrains, and more.
Add this to your client's MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"qubic": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["mcp-server-qubic"]
}
}
}
Where to find the config file

Smart Contract Development Workflow
One of the most powerful features of qubic-mcp is its smart contract profile system. If you're developing a Qubic smart contract on a local lite network, you can use the MCP to test your contract's RPC interface directly through your AI assistant.
Why This Matters
Qubic smart contracts communicate via binary-encoded structs over the /v1/querySmartContract RPC endpoint. Without tooling, this means manually encoding fields into base64, making HTTP calls, and decoding binary responses — error-prone and tedious.
With qubic-mcp, you register your contract's interface once, and then query it by name with human-readable input and output. Your AI assistant handles all the binary encoding/decoding automatically.
Step-by-Step
1. Point the MCP at your test network:
"Add my test network at http://192.168.1.50:21841 called my-testnet"
"Switch to my-testnet"
Your MCP server now talks to your local lite node instead of mainnet. This persists across sessions in ~/.qubic-mcp/networks.json.
2. Register your contract's interface:
Tell the assistant your contract's index and function definitions. Here's a simple counter contract at index 10 as an example:
Register my counter contract at index 10 with these functions:
- getStats (inputType 1): no input, output is totalKeys (uint32) and totalIncrements (uint64)
- getValue (inputType 2): input is key (uint32), output is value (uint64) and lastUpdatedTick (uint32)
The assistant will call register_contract with the proper field schema JSON. The definition is saved to ~/.qubic-mcp/contracts.json and persists across sessions.
Supported field types: uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64, int8, int16, int32, int64, identity (60-char Qubic address / 32-byte pubkey), padding (skipped bytes).
Fields support count for arrays and enum for value-to-label mapping.
3. Query your contract by name:
"Query counter getStats"
"Query counter getValue with key 1"
The MCP encodes your input into binary, calls the RPC endpoint, and decodes the response into named fields:
counter.getValue
================
value: 42
lastUpdatedTick: 22,345,678
4. Switch back to mainnet when done:
Installation
From npm (recommended)
npm install -g mcp-server-qubic
From source
git clone https://github.com/fyllepo/qubic-mcp.git
cd qubic-mcp
npm install
npm run build
Configuration
Network Management
The easiest way to configure which Qubic network you talk to is through the built-in tools — no env vars needed:
- Add a custom network:
add_network — save your local node's IP with a friendly name
- Switch networks:
switch_network — toggle between mainnet, testnet, or any saved network
- List networks:
list_networks — see all available networks and which is active
Networks are saved to ~/.qubic-mcp/networks.json and persist across sessions. Built-in networks (mainnet, testnet) are always available.
Environment Variables
For advanced use or CI environments, you can also configure via env vars. See .env.example.
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|
QUBIC_RPC_URL | (from active network) | Override the RPC endpoint (takes priority over saved networks) |
QUBIC_API_URL | (from active network) | Override the Query API endpoint |
QUBIC_NETWORK_LABEL | (auto) | Friendly label shown when using QUBIC_RPC_URL override |
MCP_HTTP_PORT | (not set) | Set a port to run as an HTTP server instead of stdio |
HTTP Transport
By default the server uses stdio, which is what most MCP clients expect. To run it as a standalone HTTP endpoint instead, set MCP_HTTP_PORT:
MCP_HTTP_PORT=3000 node dist/index.js
The server exposes a single /mcp endpoint that supports the MCP Streamable HTTP transport:
- POST /mcp — send JSON-RPC requests (initialize creates a session)
- GET /mcp — open an SSE stream for server notifications (requires
mcp-session-id header)
- DELETE /mcp — terminate a session
