Provides a single standardized MCP interface that abstracts over 30+ EVM-compatible blockchain networks (Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon, Base, etc.) through a layered architecture separating protocol interfaces from blockchain services. Uses viem as the underlying Ethereum client library with network-specific RPC endpoint configuration, enabling agents to interact with any supported chain without chain-specific code changes. The architecture maintains a network configuration layer (src/core/chains.ts) that maps chain identifiers to RPC endpoints and metadata, allowing dynamic chain selection at runtime.
Unique: Uses a dedicated network configuration layer (src/core/chains.ts) that centralizes chain metadata and RPC endpoint management, allowing runtime chain selection without modifying service implementations. The layered architecture cleanly separates MCP protocol handling from blockchain service logic, enabling independent evolution of each layer.
vs alternatives: Provides unified multi-chain abstraction through MCP standard rather than custom APIs, making it compatible with any MCP-aware LLM client (Claude, custom agents) without vendor lock-in.
Registers blockchain operations as MCP tools through a schema-based function registry that exposes typed, validated tool definitions to LLM clients. Uses Zod for runtime schema validation and the @modelcontextprotocol/sdk to define tool schemas with input/output types, enabling LLMs to understand tool signatures and constraints before invocation. The tools layer (src/core/tools.ts) maps high-level blockchain operations (balance queries, transfers, token interactions, contract calls) to underlying service implementations, with automatic parameter validation and error handling.
Unique: Combines Zod runtime validation with MCP tool schema definitions, ensuring both compile-time type safety (TypeScript) and runtime validation before blockchain operations execute. The schema-based approach allows LLMs to introspect tool capabilities and constraints without executing them.
vs alternatives: Provides stricter input validation than REST API endpoints through Zod schemas, preventing invalid blockchain operations from reaching the network layer and reducing failed transactions.
Provides MCP prompt templates (defined in src/core/prompts.ts) that guide LLM agents through blockchain operations with pre-written instructions, examples, and best practices. Prompts include operation-specific guidance (e.g., how to safely execute transfers, how to verify contract interactions) and can be customized per chain or operation type. Templates are exposed through the MCP prompt protocol, allowing LLM clients to discover and use them.
Unique: Encodes blockchain operation best practices into MCP prompt templates that guide LLM agents through complex operations, providing consistent guidance across different clients and deployments. Templates are discoverable through the MCP prompt protocol.
vs alternatives: Provides standardized operation guidance compared to ad-hoc prompting, improving consistency and reducing errors in LLM-driven blockchain operations.
Distributes the EVM MCP Server as a public npm package (@mcpdotdirect/evm-mcp-server) with automated build, test, and release processes through GitHub Actions. The release pipeline (defined in .github/workflows/release-publish.yml) automatically builds the package, runs tests, and publishes to npm on version tag creation. Package metadata and entry points are configured in package.json, supporting both CLI usage (npx @mcpdotdirect/evm-mcp-server) and programmatic imports.
Unique: Provides automated npm package distribution with GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline that handles building, testing, and publishing without manual intervention. Package supports both CLI and programmatic usage through dual entry points.
vs alternatives: Simplifies installation and updates compared to manual setup or Docker images, leveraging npm's ecosystem for dependency management and version control.
Automatically detects the JavaScript runtime (Bun or Node.js) and adapts execution accordingly, with Bun as the primary runtime and Node.js as a supported fallback. The package.json specifies Node.js 18.0.0+ as the minimum version, while the build process targets Bun for optimal performance. Runtime detection allows the server to use runtime-specific optimizations (e.g., Bun's faster module loading) while maintaining compatibility with Node.js environments.
Unique: Automatically detects and adapts to Bun or Node.js runtime without explicit configuration, allowing deployment flexibility while optimizing for Bun's performance when available. Uses Bun as primary target with Node.js fallback.
vs alternatives: Provides runtime flexibility compared to Node.js-only implementations, enabling performance optimization on Bun while maintaining compatibility with existing Node.js infrastructure.
Automatically resolves Ethereum Name Service (ENS) names (e.g., vitalik.eth) to blockchain addresses throughout the tool and resource layers without requiring explicit resolution steps. Integrates ENS resolution into the address parameter handling pipeline, allowing users and LLMs to use human-readable names interchangeably with 0x-prefixed addresses. The ENS service layer (referenced in Services Layer documentation) handles reverse and forward resolution with caching to minimize RPC calls.
Unique: Transparently integrates ENS resolution into all address parameters across tools and resources without requiring explicit resolution calls, making it invisible to the LLM while improving usability. Uses viem's native ENS support rather than custom resolution logic.
vs alternatives: Provides seamless ENS integration across all operations compared to tools that require separate ENS resolution steps, reducing cognitive load on users and LLM agents.
Queries native token (ETH) and ERC-20 token balances across 30+ EVM networks through a unified Balance Service that abstracts chain-specific RPC calls. Supports batch balance queries for multiple addresses and tokens, returning structured balance data with token metadata (decimals, symbols). The service layer uses viem's contract reading capabilities to call ERC-20 balanceOf functions and native balance queries, with automatic decimal normalization for human-readable output.
Unique: Provides unified balance querying across native and ERC-20 tokens with automatic decimal normalization and token metadata enrichment, abstracting the complexity of different token standards and chain-specific RPC calls. Uses viem's contract reading for ERC-20 queries rather than custom ABI parsing.
vs alternatives: Offers multi-chain balance queries through a single interface compared to chain-specific tools, with automatic decimal handling that prevents common user errors from raw wei values.
Executes native token (ETH) and ERC-20 token transfers across EVM networks through a Transfer Service that handles transaction construction, gas estimation, and optional pre-execution simulation. Validates recipient addresses, transfer amounts, and gas parameters before submission, using viem's transaction building capabilities. Supports both direct transfers and contract-based transfers (ERC-20 approve + transferFrom pattern), with automatic gas limit calculation and nonce management.
Unique: Combines transaction construction, gas estimation, and optional simulation in a single service, allowing LLM agents to execute transfers with confidence through pre-execution validation. Uses viem's transaction building and simulation capabilities rather than raw RPC calls.
vs alternatives: Provides pre-execution simulation and validation compared to direct RPC submission, reducing failed transactions and improving reliability for AI-driven financial operations.
