Celo MCP Server

Celo MCP Server Overview

The Celo MCP Server bridges the gap between AI assistants and the Celo blockchain, providing a unified API surface that exposes all core on‑chain functionalities through Model Context Protocol tools. By packaging blockchain data access, token and NFT interactions, smart contract calls, transaction estimation, and governance queries into a single MCP service, developers can embed real‑time Celo data directly into conversational agents or IDE workflows. This eliminates the need for custom RPC wrappers and streamlines security by centralizing node connectivity behind a single, well‑maintained endpoint.

At its core, the server offers an extensive set of tools that mirror typical blockchain operations. Clients can retrieve network status, block and transaction details, account balances, and token metadata with straightforward calls such as or . For NFT workflows, the server supports both ERC‑721 and ERC‑1155 standards via and , enabling agents to query ownership, metadata, and collection details without writing bespoke contract interactions. Smart‑contract logic is exposed through and , allowing read‑only calls or gas forecasts for arbitrary functions by supplying ABI fragments and arguments.

Transaction handling is equally robust. The tool gives agents the ability to pre‑compute gas and cost for arbitrary transfers, while surfaces current EIP‑1559 fee tiers. These capabilities are essential for agents that need to propose or audit transactions on behalf of users, ensuring cost‑effective and valid payloads before submission. Governance is addressed through and , letting assistants surface proposal listings, voting histories, and metadata to users interested in on‑chain governance participation.

Developers benefit from seamless integration with popular MCP clients such as Cursor IDE and Claude Desktop. By configuring a single command entry point, the server auto‑refreshes with each launch, guaranteeing that the latest tool definitions are available. This tight coupling allows developers to invoke Celo operations directly from code editors or conversational prompts, dramatically speeding up prototyping and debugging cycles. For example, a data‑science workflow could query recent block data while an AI assistant explains the significance of gas fee fluctuations, all within the same conversational thread.

Unique advantages stem from Celo’s focus on stablecoins and mobile‑first finance. The server exposes dedicated balance queries for CELO and its stable tokens (), enabling agents to provide instant portfolio overviews tailored to the Celo ecosystem. Combined with robust governance tooling, developers can build AI‑powered dashboards that not only display financial metrics but also recommend or execute governance actions, creating a holistic on‑chain experience.
