RustChain Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for RustChain that allows Claude Code and other MCP-capable clients to query the blockchain and perform core actions directly from the terminal.

Features

Required Tools (Implemented)

• ✅ rustchain_balance - Get RTC balance of any address
• ✅ rustchain_miners - List active miners on the network
• ✅ rustchain_epoch - Get current epoch information
• ✅ rustchain_health - Check health status of all nodes
• ✅ rustchain_transfer - Transfer RTC (requires private key)

Bonus Tools (Implemented)

• ✅ rustchain_ledger - View recent transactions
• ✅ rustchain_bounties - Get open bounty information

Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• npm or yarn

Install from Source

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Async777/rustchain-mcp-server.git
cd rustchain-mcp-server

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the project
npm run build

Configuration

Add to Claude Code

# Add the MCP server to Claude Code
claude mcp add rustchain node /path/to/rustchain-mcp-server/dist/index.js

Or manually edit your Claude Code configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rustchain": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/rustchain-mcp-server/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Usage Examples

Once configured, you can use these tools in Claude Code:

# Check your balance
What is my RTC balance for address RTCc29259460d01e6aca70b16f044852dddd0369c0d?

# List miners
Show me the top 5 miners on RustChain

# Check network health
Is the RustChain network healthy?

# Get epoch info
What is the current epoch?

# View recent transactions
Show me the last 10 ledger entries

Node Configuration

The server uses the following node priority:

1. Primary: https://50.28.86.131
2. Fallback 1: https://rustchain.org
3. Fallback 2: https://node2.rustchain.org

If the primary node is unavailable, the server automatically tries fallback nodes.

API Endpoints Used

Tool	Endpoint
rustchain_balance	GET /wallet/balance?miner_id={address}
rustchain_miners	GET /miners?limit={n}
rustchain_epoch	GET /epoch/current
rustchain_health	GET /health
rustchain_transfer	POST /wallet/transfer
rustchain_ledger	GET /ledger?limit={n}

Security Notes

• Private Keys: The rustchain_transfer tool requires your private key. Only use this in secure environments.
• Node Verification: The server validates node health before performing sensitive operations.
• Fallback Protection: If all nodes are unreachable, operations fail gracefully with clear error messages.

Development

# Run in development mode (auto-rebuild)
npm run dev

# Build for production
npm run build

# Start the server
npm start
