NEAR MCP

This project is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) compatible server for interacting with the NEAR blockchain. This tool provides a way for LLMs and AI agents to securely access and interact with NEAR accounts and blockchain functionality.

Quickstart

Here is how to get started with the near-mcp server quickly with the claude code cli

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
claude mcp add near-mcp npx @nearai/near-mcp@latest run
claude

Installing

near-mcp is meant to be used is with an MCP compatible client. Learn more in the MCP docs

Adding to the claude code cli:

claude mcp add near-mcp npx @nearai/near-mcp@latest run

Adding to claude desktop via JSON config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "near-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@nearai/near-mcp@latest", "run"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Integration with AI Models

This tool is designed to be used with AI models that support the Model Context Protocol. It enables AI assistants to:

1. Manage NEAR accounts on behalf of users
2. Check account balances and status
3. Sign and send transactions
4. Create new accounts and manage access keys
5. Inspect and execution smart contracts

Security Considerations

• This MCP is meant to be run locally. Account private keys are stored in a local unencrypted keystore where the MCP server is running.
• The underlying models should not have access to see the private keys of the accounts they are interacting with with one exception. The import_account tool allows the model to import an account from a private key. This requires the user to provide the private key to the model.
