Marginfi MCP Server

The Marginfi MCP Server provides a lightweight, extensible bridge between AI assistants and the Marginfi protocol on Solana. By exposing a well‑structured Model Context Protocol interface, it enables AI agents to perform advanced financial operations—such as account creation, margin trading, and risk assessment—directly from natural language commands. This eliminates the need for developers to write custom Solana SDK wrappers, allowing them to focus on higher‑level business logic while still leveraging the full power of Marginfi’s decentralized finance (DeFi) features.

Problem Solved

Developers building AI‑powered financial tools often struggle with the complexity of interacting with on‑chain protocols. They must manage key pairs, transaction signing, and error handling while keeping the user experience smooth. The Marginfi MCP Server abstracts these details behind a simple, declarative API: the AI assistant issues a resource or tool request, and the server handles all on‑chain communication. This reduces boilerplate code, mitigates security risks associated with key management, and accelerates the integration of Marginfi’s margin trading capabilities into conversational agents.

Core Functionality

• Account Management – Create and query Marginfi user accounts, retrieve balances, and monitor collateral positions.
• Trading Operations – Execute margin trades, set leverage levels, and manage open orders through intuitive tool calls.
• Risk & Margin Checks – Retrieve real‑time margin requirements, liquidation thresholds, and risk metrics to inform safe trading strategies.
• Event Monitoring – Subscribe to on‑chain events (e.g., position updates, liquidations) so the AI can react promptly.

These capabilities are exposed via a standardized set of resources (read‑only data endpoints) and tools (write operations), each described in the MCP schema. The server also supports custom prompts and sampling parameters, enabling fine‑tuned conversational control.

Use Cases

• AI Trading Bots – Build chatbots that can trade on Marginfi with natural language commands while the server handles all Solana interactions.
• Portfolio Dashboards – Allow users to ask for their margin positions or risk exposure; the assistant retrieves data instantly through MCP calls.
• Educational Simulations – Create sandbox environments where students can practice margin trading via a conversational interface without exposing private keys.
• Compliance & Auditing – Log every AI‑initiated transaction through the MCP server, providing a transparent audit trail for regulatory purposes.

Integration with AI Workflows

Because the MCP Server follows the Model Context Protocol, any Claude‑compatible assistant can seamlessly request its services. Developers simply register the server’s URL and schema in the AI’s configuration, then define prompts that reference the available tools. The assistant can chain multiple calls—e.g., fetch account data, compute required margin, and place a trade—all within a single conversation. This tight integration ensures that AI workflows remain declarative, auditable, and secure.

Unique Advantages

• Zero Key Exposure – The server holds the Solana wallet, preventing accidental key leakage in client code.
• Protocol‑Level Optimizations – Built on top of the native Marginfi SDK, it leverages optimized transaction batching and error handling.
• Extensibility – Developers can add custom tools or resources without modifying the core server, simply by updating the MCP schema.
• Cross‑Platform Compatibility – Works with any AI platform that supports MCP, enabling rapid deployment across diverse assistants.

In summary, the Marginfi MCP Server turns a complex on‑chain margin trading protocol into an approachable API for AI assistants, empowering developers to build sophisticated financial applications with minimal friction.
