║ 6 wallet tools for Cardano ║
║ ║
╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
That's it — 6 wallet tools configured for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf.
Features
- Submit signed transactions to the Cardano network
- Retrieve wallet addresses and UTxOs
- Fetch token balances (ADA + native tokens)
- Resolve ADAHandles (handle.me)
- Check stake delegation and claimable rewards
- Wallet-aware tools powered by Lucid Evolution
Quick Start
Automatic Setup (Recommended)
Run the interactive setup to automatically configure your MCP client:
npx @indigoprotocol/cardano-mcp setup
This will:
- Ask which client you're using (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf)
- Prompt for your Blockfrost Project ID
- Prompt for your wallet seed phrase (stored locally, never exposed to LLMs)
- Automatically update your config file
Manual Installation
Install globally:
npm install -g @indigoprotocol/cardano-mcp
Or run directly with npx:
npx @indigoprotocol/cardano-mcp
Docker
docker build -t cardano-mcp .
docker run -p 8000:8000 \
-e PORT=8000 \
-e SEED_PHRASE="your seed phrase here" \

Example Usage
Check Wallet Balance
"What's my ADA balance?"
Claude will use get_balances and respond with your ADA and token holdings.
Submit a Transaction
"Submit this transaction: 84a400..."
Claude will use submit_transaction to sign and submit the CBOR transaction, returning the transaction hash.
Check Staking Rewards
"How much staking rewards do I have available?"
Claude will use get_stake_delegation to show your staked pool and claimable rewards.
Resolve ADAHandles
"What ADAHandles do I own?"
Claude will use get_adahandles to list all your handle.me handles.
Troubleshooting
nvm Users (macOS/Linux)
If you use nvm and Claude Desktop shows "server disconnected", you need to use full paths since Claude Desktop doesn't inherit your shell's nvm setup:
{
"mcpServers": {
"cardano": {
"command": "/Users/YOU/.nvm/versions/node/v22.x.x/bin/npx",
"args": ["-y", "@indigoprotocol/cardano-mcp"],
"env": {
"PATH": "/Users/YOU/.nvm/versions/node/v22.x.x/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin",
"SEED_PHRASE": "word1,word2,...",
"BLOCKFROST_PROJECT_ID": "mainnetXXX"
}
}
}
}
Find your node path with: which npx
Cache Issues
If tools fail after an update, clear the npm cache:
rm -rf ~/.npm/_npx
Then restart Claude Desktop.
Platform Support
| Platform | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| macOS | ✅ Full support | Intel & Apple Silicon |
| Windows | ✅ Full support | Windows 10/11 |

Security
⚠️ Important: Your seed phrase is stored locally and used only for wallet operations. It is never exposed to LLMs or external services.
- The seed phrase is only used by the local Lucid Evolution wallet instance
- All transaction signing happens locally before submission
- No private keys are ever transmitted
