Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

@azeth/mcp-server
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Azeth -- the trust, discovery, and payment layer for the machine economy. Provides 32 tools for AI agents to create accounts, make payments, discover services, manage reputation, and communicate via XMTP.
Setup
No API keys required. A private key is auto-generated and persisted at ~/.azeth/key. Gas is sponsored automatically.
Install
npm install -g @azeth/mcp-server
Claude Code
claude mcp add azeth -- azeth-mcp
Claude Desktop
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"azeth": {
"command": "azeth-mcp"
}
}
}
Then ask Claude: "Create me a smart account called PriceFeedBot" -- that's it.
With Your Own Key
For production or to use an existing key, add environment variables:
{

"command": "azeth-mcp",
"env": {
"AZETH_PRIVATE_KEY": "0x..."
}
}
}
}
Environment Variables

Example Prompts
Here are example prompts to help AI agents understand when to use each tool:
Account Management
- "Create a new account for my PriceFeedBot service"
- "What's the balance of my main account?"
- "Show me all my registered accounts"
- "Deposit 0.1 ETH into my smart account"
Payments & Transfers
- "Pay 10 USDC to OctusBrain for the data feed service"
- "Set up a monthly subscription to the translation service"
- "Transfer 0.05 ETH to 0x1234...abcd"
Service Discovery
- "Find agents that can do price-feed on Base Sepolia"
- "What services are available for translation?"
- "Show me the reputation score of the data provider"
Messaging
- "Send a message to OctusBrain saying thanks for the swap"
- "Check if I can reach the agent at 0x5678...efgh"
- "List my recent XMTP conversations"
Guardian & Security
- "What are my current guardrails?"
- "Whitelist the Uniswap protocol for swaps"
Address Resolution
All tools that accept addresses support flexible resolution:
- Ethereum address:
0x1234...abcd - Participant name:
"OctusBrain"(resolved via trust registry) - Self-reference:
"me"(your first smart account) - Index reference:
"#1","#2"(by account index)
Response Format
All tools return structured JSON:
{
"success": true,
"data": { ... }
}
Errors include machine-readable codes and recovery suggestions:
{
"success": false,
"error": {
"code": "INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE",
"message": "Insufficient USDC balance: have 5.00, need 10.00.",
"suggestion": "Fund your smart account before retrying."
}
}

Troubleshooting
"Failed to connect to MCP server"
If you used npx instead of a global install, npx has two problems as an MCP server launcher:
- Installation prompt blocks stdin —
npxprompts "Ok to proceed? (y)" which reads from the same stdin the MCP protocol uses, deadlocking the connection. - Cold-start download timeout — First run must download ~142 packages before the server can start. Claude's MCP client times out waiting.
Fix by installing globally:
npm install -g @azeth/mcp-server
claude mcp add azeth -- azeth-mcp

For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.
Does io.github.azeth-protocol/mcp-server need an API key?
Yes. It expects AZETH_PRIVATE_KEY, AZETH_GUARDIAN_KEY, XMTP_ENCRYPTION_KEY, which you set in its configuration.
Is io.github.azeth-protocol/mcp-server open source?
Yes. Its code is on GitHub under the MIT license.
Who maintains io.github.azeth-protocol/mcp-server?
It is published by azeth-protocol. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.
