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-httpMCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http animica-mcp serves HTTP on 127.0.0.1:8765. For host/port flags use the full CLI from the animica package: animica mcp serve --transport http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8765.
  • sseMCP_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.
