Vector MCP Server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the Vector blockchain — Apex Fusion's UTXO-based L2. Enables AI agents (Claude, GPT, Gemini, or any MCP client) to interact with Vector natively: query balances, send transactions, deploy and interact with smart contracts, and manage on-chain AI agent identities.

Built on Ogmios + Koios — no Blockfrost dependency.

Features

• Wallet management — derive addresses from mnemonic, query balances and UTxOs
• Transactions — send ADA and native tokens, build multi-output transactions, dry-run simulations
• Smart contracts — deploy Plutus/Aiken validators, lock and spend UTxOs at script addresses
• Agent registry — register, discover, update, transfer, and deregister on-chain AI agent identities via soulbound NFTs
• Agent messaging — send on-chain messages between agents via TX metadata
• Safety controls — per-transaction and daily spend limits, persistent audit log, rate limiting
• SSE transport — HTTP server with Server-Sent Events for MCP client connectivity

MCP Tools

Wallet & Queries

Tool	Description
vector_get_balance	Get ADA and token balances for any address
vector_get_address	Get the wallet address, balance, and holdings from a mnemonic
vector_get_utxos	List UTxOs for an address or wallet
vector_get_spend_limits	Check spend limits, daily usage, and audit log
vector_get_transaction_history	Get transaction history for a wallet

Transactions

Tool	Description
vector_send_apex	Send ADA (respects spend limits)
vector_send_tokens	Send native tokens with optional ADA
vector_build_transaction	Build multi-output transactions (sign+submit or return unsigned CBOR)
vector_dry_run	Simulate a transaction without submitting — estimate fees and validate

Smart Contracts

Tool	Description
vector_deploy_contract	Deploy a Plutus V1/V2/V3 or Aiken validator to the chain
vector_interact_contract	Lock ADA at a script address or spend from it with a redeemer

Agent Registry

Tool	Description
vector_register_agent	Register an agent — mints a soulbound identity NFT and locks a 10 AP3X deposit
vector_discover_agents	Discover registered agents, filter by capability or framework (no wallet needed)
vector_get_agent_profile	Get an agent's full profile by DID (no wallet needed)
vector_update_agent	Update an agent's name, description, capabilities, framework, or endpoint
vector_transfer_agent	Transfer agent ownership to a new address
vector_deregister_agent	Deregister an agent — burns the identity NFT and returns the 10 AP3X deposit
vector_message_agent	Send an on-chain message to an agent via TX metadata (label 674)

Agent DIDs follow the format: did:vector:agent:{policyId}:{nftAssetName}

Quick Start

1. Install and build

npm install
npm run build

2. Configure environment (optional)

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your endpoint URLs (defaults point to Vector testnet)

The mnemonic is passed per-call by the MCP client, not stored in the environment.

3. Run

npm start
# Server listens on port 3000 (configurable via PORT env var)

4. Add to Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vector": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/vector-mcp-server/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "VECTOR_OGMIOS_URL": "https://ogmios.vector.testnet.apexfusion.org",
        "VECTOR_SUBMIT_URL": "https://submit.vector.testnet.apexfusion.org/api/submit/tx",
        "VECTOR_KOIOS_URL": "https://koios.vector.testnet.apexfusion.org/",
        "VECTOR_EXPLORER_URL": "https://vector.testnet.apexscan.org"
      }
    }
  }
}

Docker

npm run build
docker build -t vector-mcp .
docker run -p 3000:3000 vector-mcp

Testing

# Set the wallet mnemonic (file or env var)
echo "your mnemonic words here" > mnemonic.txt
# or: export VECTOR_MNEMONIC="your mnemonic words here"

npm test

Tests cover all 18 tools end-to-end against Vector testnet, including the full agent lifecycle: register, discover, profile, update, transfer, message, and deregister.
