Abstraxn Agent Layer

Abstraxn Public Web3 MCP Service

A free, public MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Web3 data. Point any MCP client — Claude Desktop, Cursor, your own agent — at it and it can read live chain data (block height, gas, transaction status, ERC-20 info, spot prices), look up weather forecasts, build unsigned EVM/Solana transfer transactions, and, for a handful of pay-per-call tools, look up market data, wallets/tokens/ENS, travel search, places/solar/aerial-view data, and social-profile identity.

No API key, no account, no signup. Free tools are open to anyone; paid tools are settled directly from the caller's own wallet via the x402 payment protocol — this service never holds or signs funds on your behalf.

Built on the official @modelcontextprotocol/sdk and NestJS 11.

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/Abstraxn-Labs/abstraxn-agent-layer.git
cd abstraxn-agent-layer
npm install
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env: Postgres connection + UPSTREAM_RELAY_BASE_URL / ENRICHMENT_RELAY_BASE_URL
# (each required for its own group of paid tools) + WEATHERAPI_KEY (required for weather.forecast)
npm run start:dev

• Health check: GET http://localhost:3011/health
• MCP endpoint: POST http://localhost:3011/mcp
• API docs (health only): http://localhost:3011/api/docs

Database migrations run automatically on boot — no separate CLI step needed.

Use it from Claude Desktop / Cursor

Add this to your MCP client's config (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or Cursor's mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "abstraxn-public-web3": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3011/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart the client and the tools below become available to it — no further setup.

Available tools

Tools are namespaced by area (network.*, market.*, web3.*, travel.*, places.*, social.*) so an MCP client can browse them as a tree rather than a flat list.

How paid tools work: call one with no payment, and you get back a paymentRequired challenge (not an error). Your wallet client signs it and retries the same call with paymentPayload set — your wallet pays directly; this service only relays the request.

Calling tools directly (curl)

Most people will use an MCP client (above), but the endpoint is plain JSON-RPC over HTTP if you want to script against it directly:

BASE=http://localhost:3011
ACCEPT='Accept: application/json, text/event-stream'   # required by the MCP spec

# 1. Initialize a session
curl -s -X POST "$BASE/mcp" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "$ACCEPT" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-06-18","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"my-client","version":"1.0"}}}'

# 2. List available tools
curl -s -X POST "$BASE/mcp" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "$ACCEPT" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/list"}'

# 3. Call a tool
curl -s -X POST "$BASE/mcp" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "$ACCEPT" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":3,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"network.token_price","arguments":{"symbol":"bitcoin"}}}'

GET /mcp returns 405 by design — every call is stateless, so there's no session to resume.

Configuration

Copy .env.example to .env. Everything has a safe default except the one marked required:

How it works

MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, your agent)
    → POST /mcp  (this service, stateless — a fresh McpServer per request)
    → free tools: direct chain RPC / CoinGecko calls
    → paid tools: relayed upstream, settled by the caller's wallet via x402

This is a single, standalone deployable — it doesn't share a workspace or database with any other Abstraxn service. That's deliberate: several MCP registries expect a public MCP server to live in its own repo with one route and one fixed tool set, reviewable end to end.

Database

Postgres is used for abuse tracking only — no tenant, policy, or config tables exist:

If Postgres is unreachable, a call still succeeds — tracking writes are best-effort and never block or fail a real MCP request.

Security

Since anyone can call this service with no key, a few invariants matter:

• No SSRF surface: every outbound URL (chain RPC, upstream relay, CoinGecko) comes from server-side config — no tool accepts a caller-supplied URL.
• Rate limiting is global and IP-keyed — the only lever available with no accounts. If you deploy behind a reverse proxy, set app.set('trust proxy', ...) in main.ts, or the limiter ends up rate-limiting the proxy instead of real callers.
• No secrets beyond the DB password and WEATHERAPI_KEY, both env-only and never logged — weather.forecast builds its provider request URL with the key as a query param, but every log line only ever carries the action name and error message, never the URL itself.
• CORS is wildcard by design — nothing tenant-specific ever crosses an origin here.
