Hosted deployment

A hosted deployment is available on Fronteir AI.

Quick Start

Automatic Setup (Recommended)

Run the interactive setup to automatically configure your MCP client:

bash

npx @indigoprotocol/indigo-mcp setup

This will:

Ask which client you're using (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf)
Prompt for your Blockfrost API key
Automatically update your config file

Manual Installation

Install globally:

bash

npm install -g @indigoprotocol/indigo-mcp

Or run directly with npx (no install needed):

bash

npx @indigoprotocol/indigo-mcp

Docker

bash

docker build -t indigo-mcp .
docker run -i indigo-mcp

HTTP Transport (Remote)

The server supports HTTP transport for remote/hosted deployments:

bash

MCP_TRANSPORT=http PORT=3000 npx @indigoprotocol/indigo-mcp

This starts an HTTP server with:

POST /mcp — MCP endpoint (Streamable HTTP with SSE)
GET /health — Health check

Configuration

Note: BLOCKFROST_API_KEY is required for write operations (transaction building). Read-only tools work without it. Get a free key at blockfrost.io.

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

bash

# macOS
nano ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

# Windows (PowerShell)
notepad "$env:APPDATA\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json"

Standard config:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "indigo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@indigoprotocol/indigo-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "INDEXER_URL": "https://analytics.indigoprotocol.io/api",
        "BLOCKFROST_API_KEY": "your-blockfrost-project-id"
      }
    }
  }
}

For nvm users (multiple Node versions):

If you use nvm and have multiple Node versions, you may need to specify the full path and set PATH explicitly:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "indigo": {
      "command": "/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/.nvm/versions/node/v22.22.0/bin/npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@indigoprotocol/indigo-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "PATH": "/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/.nvm/versions/node/v22.22.0/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin",
        "INDEXER_URL": "https://analytics.indigoprotocol.io/api",
        "BLOCKFROST_API_KEY": "your-blockfrost-project-id"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: Replace YOUR_USERNAME and Node version with your actual values. Find your Node path with which npx.

Claude Code (CLI)

Add to ~/.claude/settings.json or .claude/settings.json in your project:

bash

nano ~/.claude/settings.json

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "indigo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@indigoprotocol/indigo-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "INDEXER_URL": "https://analytics.indigoprotocol.io/api",
        "BLOCKFROST_API_KEY": "your-blockfrost-project-id"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (project-level):

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "indigo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@indigoprotocol/indigo-mcp"],
      "env": {

        "BLOCKFROST_API_KEY": "your-blockfrost-project-id"
      }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

json

{

        "BLOCKFROST_API_KEY": "your-blockfrost-project-id"
      }
    }
  }
}

OpenClaw

Install Indigo skills for OpenClaw:

bash

openclaw skills add IndigoProtocol/indigo-skills

Skills are automatically configured — start using Indigo tools immediately.

Combined with Cardano MCP

For full Cardano DeFi capabilities, use both Indigo MCP and Cardano MCP together:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "indigo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@indigoprotocol/indigo-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "BLOCKFROST_API_KEY": "your-blockfrost-project-id"
      }
    },
    "cardano": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@indigoprotocol/cardano-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SEED_PHRASE": "word1,word2,word3,...",
        "BLOCKFROST_PROJECT_ID": "your-blockfrost-project-id"
      }
    }
  }
}

Any MCP-Compatible Client

Run the server directly via stdio:

bash

INDEXER_URL=https://analytics.indigoprotocol.io/api \
BLOCKFROST_API_KEY=your-blockfrost-project-id \
npx @indigoprotocol/indigo-mcp

Or install globally and reference the binary:

bash

npm install -g @indigoprotocol/indigo-mcp
indigo-mcp

For any client that supports MCP over stdio, point it to the npx @indigoprotocol/indigo-mcp command with the environment variables above.

Testing via stdin

The server communicates over stdio using JSON-RPC. You can test tools directly:

bash

npm run build
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"0.1.0"}}}' | node dist/index.js

x402 Payment Gating

Indigo MCP optionally gates tools behind per-call micropayments using the x402 protocol. Payment is disabled by default — set at least one wallet address to enable it.

How it works

Payment uses the split execution model — the same architecture as openMM-MCP:

A tool is called (no payment header needed from the caller)
The gate intercepts and contacts the settlement worker (mcp.openmm.io by default)
Worker responds 402 with EIP-3009 requirements (amount, recipient, chain)
Gate signs locally using X402_PRIVATE_KEY — the key never leaves this process
Gate retries with the signed payment → worker verifies on-chain, issues a JWT
Gate verifies JWT locally, executes the original tool handler
Settlement tx hash is injected into the tool response

This keeps process isolation clean: indigo-mcp never holds the recipient wallet — only the payer key. Verification and settlement are handled by the openmm.io proxy.

Read tools (get_tvl, get_asset_price, …) cost $0.001 USDC per call
Analysis tools (analyze_cdp_health) cost $0.005 USDC per call
Write tools (open_cdp, mint_cdp, …) cost $0.01 USDC per call

Environment variables

Variable	Required	Default	Description
`X402_PRIVATE_KEY`	to enable	—	EVM private key (`0x…`) of the payer wallet — enables split payment
`PAYMENT_SERVER`	optional	`https://mcp.openmm.io`	Settlement worker / proxy URL
`X402_TESTNET`	optional	`false`	Use Base Sepolia testnet
`X402_FACILITATOR_URL`	optional	—	Fallback facilitator URL (used only when `PAYMENT_SERVER` is not set)

Split execution flow

When X402_PRIVATE_KEY is set, every paid tool call is handled transparently:

Gate contacts PAYMENT_SERVER (https://mcp.openmm.io by default)
Signs EIP-3009 locally — the private key never leaves this process
Proxy verifies on-chain, issues a short-lived JWT
Gate verifies JWT, executes tool, injects settlement tx hash into response

If X402_PRIVATE_KEY is not set the gate is disabled and all tools execute without payment.

bash

# Minimal: just set the payer key (proxy defaults to mcp.openmm.io)
X402_PRIVATE_KEY=0xYourPayerPrivateKey npx @indigoprotocol/indigo-mcp

# Self-hosted proxy
X402_PRIVATE_KEY=0xYourPayerPrivateKey \
PAYMENT_SERVER=https://your-own-proxy \
npx @indigoprotocol/indigo-mcp

Local development

bash

# 1. Copy example env
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and set X402_PRIVATE_KEY to a funded Base Sepolia wallet

# 2. Start the HTTP server
MCP_TRANSPORT=http PORT=3000 npm run dev

# 3. Run the payment e2e tests
X402_TESTNET=true npm test -- x402-payment

MCP client config with x402

Add the env block to whichever MCP config file your client uses:

Claude Code (~/.claude/settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "indigo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@indigoprotocol/indigo-mcp"],

        "BLOCKFROST_API_KEY": "your-blockfrost-project-id",
        "X402_PRIVATE_KEY": "0xYourPayerPrivateKey",
        "X402_TESTNET": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

        "X402_TESTNET": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor / Windsurf — same env block applies to ~/.cursor/mcp.json or ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.

Set X402_TESTNET to false (or omit it) for Base mainnet.
