animica-mcp
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the Animica AI + blockchain network. One command gives any MCP client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, …) 15 read/compute tools: OpenAI-compatible AI inference, a verifiable quantum randomness beacon, read-only chain and account lookups, mining-pool stats, and Studio compute cost estimates.
This package is a thin console wrapper around animica[mcp] — the server implementation lives in the animica package (animica.mcp.server); installing animica-mcp pulls it in and exposes the animica-mcp command.
Install
pip install animica-mcp
# or run it without installing:
uvx animica-mcp
Tools (15)
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
animica_info |
Orientation: what Animica is, the AI API, quantum beacon, endpoints, docs. Start here. |
animica_ai_ask |
Ask Animica's ENA AI a question (OpenAI-compatible chat inference). |
animica_ai_models |
List the AI models available on Animica's OpenAI-compatible API. |
animica_ai_job_status |
Read the status of an ENA AI request/job by id (read-only). |
animica_quantum_beacon_latest |
Latest round of the verifiable quantum randomness beacon. |
animica_quantum_draw |
Compute a verifiable quantum-random draw off a beacon round (lottery, choice, weighted, shuffle, range, coin, dice, bytes). |
animica_quantum_verify |
Re-verify a quantum-random draw client-side — pure offline compute. |
animica_qdna_verify_gene |
Verify a qDNA training-genome gene seal (tamper-evidence) — pure offline compute. |
animica_chain_head |
Chain head: current height/hash and chain id. Read-only. |
animica_chain_block |
Read a block by height or hash (head block with neither). Read-only. |
animica_chain_account |
Balance + nonce for an anim1… address. Read-only — no keys, no signing. |
animica_pool_stats |
Live mining-pool stats: pool status plus active miner count. |
animica_network_hashrate |
Current network hashrate from the chain. |
animica_studio_estimate |
Estimate the ANM cost of an Animica Studio run before paying — local quote, charges nothing. |
animica_studio_functions |
List functions deployed to Animica Studio. Read-only. |
Client setup
Claude Code
claude mcp add animica -- uvx animica-mcp
Claude Desktop
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"animica": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["animica-mcp"]
}
}
}
Cursor
Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or project .cursor/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"animica": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["animica-mcp"]
}
}
}
VS Code
Add to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"animica": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["animica-mcp"]
}
}
}
If you installed with pip install animica-mcp, replace "command": "uvx", "args": ["animica-mcp"] with "command": "animica-mcp" in any of the configs above.
Configuration (environment variables)
All endpoints default to public Animica infrastructure — the server works with zero configuration.
| Variable | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
ANIMICA_BASE_URL |
https://pool.animica.org/v1 |
OpenAI-compatible inference API base (chat + models). https://animica.dev/v1 is the free keyless endpoint if you prefer it. |
ANIMICA_RPC_URL |
https://rpc.animica.org/rpc |
Node JSON-RPC endpoint (read-only calls). |
ANIMICA_POOL_URL |
https://pool.animica.org |
Mining-pool stats API. |
ANIMICA_BEACON_URL |
https://pool.animica.org |
Quantum randomness beacon (/beacon/*). |
ANIMICA_API_KEY |
(empty) | Optional Bearer key for the inference API; not required. |
ANIMICA_MODEL |
anm-fast-8b |
Default model for animica_ai_ask. |
ANIMICA_MCP_TIMEOUT_S |
60 |
HTTP timeout (seconds) for backend calls. |
MCP_TRANSPORT |
stdio |
Transport: stdio (default), streamable-http, or sse. |
Transports
- stdio (default) — what Claude Code / Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code use; just run
animica-mcp. - streamable-http —
MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http animica-mcpserves HTTP on127.0.0.1:8765. For host/port flags use the full CLI from theanimicapackage:animica mcp serve --transport http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8765. - sse —
MCP_TRANSPORT=sse animica-mcp(legacy SSE clients).
Security posture
- Read + compute only. Chain access goes through a hard-coded allow-list of read-only JSON-RPC methods; mutating methods (send, sign, deploy, claim) are not on the list and cannot be reached, even by a bug.
- No keys. The server never handles private keys, never signs, never spends, and never mutates wallet state.
- Quantum draw/verify and qDNA gene verification are pure local compute and work fully offline.
