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):
