About
Hedera MCP server
README
This repository contains a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that interfaces with the Hedera Testnet Mirror Node API. The server is built using FastMCP, a TypeScript framework for creating MCP servers. It utilises Zod schemas for input validation.
Features
- Endpoint Integration: Automatically converts Hedera Mirror Node APIs, defined in OpenAPI specification format, into MCP-compatible tools.
- Server-Sent Events (SSE) Support: Clients cannot connect to this MCP server over the SSE transport.
- Schema Validation: Ensures request parameters adhere to defined schemas using Zod.
Prerequisites
Before running the server, ensure you have the following installed:
- Bun, or any other environment capable of running Typescript directly.
Installation
(1) Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/hedera-dev/mirrornode-mcp-server
(2) Navigate to the project directory
cd mirrornode-mcp-server
(3) Install dependencies
npm install
Usage
To start the MCP server:
bun mcpServer.ts
Upon successful startup, you should see:
MCP server started
The server will be accessible via the configured SSE endpoint.
http://localhost:3333/hedera-testnet-mirror-node-api/sse

How It Works
(1) API Client Creation
An API client is created for the Hedera Testnet Mirror Node using the createApiClient function.
The MCP server proxies between this HTTP API client and its own SSE transport.
(2) Endpoint Conversion:
Each endpoint definition from endpointDefinitions is processed by the convertZodiosToMcp function, which:
- Validates that the endpoint uses the
GETmethod. - Maps parameters to Zod schemas.
- Defines an execution function that makes the corresponding API call and returns the result.
- Registers the tool with the MCP server.
(3) Server Initialization:
The MCP server is started with SSE transport.
Dependencies
- FastMCP: Framework for building MCP servers.
- Zod: TypeScript-first schema declaration and validation library.
- openapi-zod-client: Generates Zodios code from an OpenAPI specification file.

Is Mirrornode MCP free?
Yes, Mirrornode MCP is free — one-click install via Unyly at no cost.
Does Mirrornode need an API key?
No, Mirrornode runs without API keys or environment variables.
Is Mirrornode hosted or self-hosted?
Self-hosted: the server runs locally on your machine via the install command above.
How do I install Mirrornode in Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Cursor?
Open Mirrornode on unyly.org, pick your client tab (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor) and press Install — the config is generated automatically, no JSON editing.
