AssetMCP
stdio Model Context Protocol server for UluOS: normalized ASA, ARC-200, and ARC-72 reads plus unsigned transaction payloads on Algorand mainnet and Voi mainnet.
Signing and broadcasting are intentionally out of scope—use UluWalletMCP and UluBroadcastMCP (or your wallet) after fetching base64 txn groups from this service.
Service summary (for UluOS docs)
| Field | Value | |--------|--------| | Name | asset-mcp | | Transport | stdio | | Version | 0.1.0 | | Networks | algorand-mainnet, voi-mainnet | | Stack | @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, algosdk (ASA), ulujs → arccjs (ARC-200 / ARC-72 simulation) | | Output | JSON text content; BigInts as strings; binary as base64; txn builders return ordered transactions: string[] (base64 unsigned bytes) |
Setup
npm install
npm start
# or: node /absolute/path/to/AssetMCP/index.js
Node: >= 20.9 (required by ulujs).
Configuration
Defaults use Nodely free-tier Algod + Indexer endpoints (Algorand mainnet: .4160.nodely.dev; Voi mainnet: .voi.nodely.dev). No API key required. Override with environment variables:
Pattern: ASSET_MCP_<NETWORK>_<SUFFIX> where <NETWORK> is ALGORAND_MAINNET or VOI_MAINNET, and <SUFFIX> is one of:
ALGOD_URLALGOD_TOKENINDEXER_URLINDEXER_TOKEN
Example:
export ASSET_MCP_ALGORAND_MAINNET_ALGOD_URL="https://..."
export ASSET_MCP_ALGORAND_MAINNET_ALGOD_TOKEN="..."
Response shape
Successful tool calls return JSON:
{
"ok": true,
"network": "algorand-mainnet",
"standard": "asa",
"method": "asa_get_asset",
"assetId": 31566704,
"data": { }
}
Transaction builders add txCount and put base64 unsigned transactions under data.transactions (array order is the signing order).
Errors:
{
"ok": false,
"error": {
"code": "malformed_address",
"message": "...",
"details": null
}
}

Cursor MCP config
This repo includes .cursor/mcp.json so asset-mcp is available when you open the repo as the workspace folder. Reload the window or restart Cursor after changing it.
To add manually or merge into another project:
{
"mcpServers": {
"asset-mcp": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["${workspaceFolder}/index.js"]
}
}
}
Machine-readable capabilities
See examples/capabilities.json.
Live demo: from the repo root, npm run demo (or node examples/demo.mjs) spawns the MCP server over stdio and calls asa_get_asset (Algorand USDC), arc200_get_metadata (Voi wVOI), and arc72_total_supply (sample ARC-72 collection).
Implementation notes
- stdout hygiene:
ulujs/arccjscallconsole.logduring simulation. UnlessASSET_MCP_DEBUGis set,console.logis redirected to stderr so MCP JSON-RPC on stdout stays valid. - ARC txn bytes: Built by simulating with
simulate: trueand returning the unsigned group fromarccjs(txnsarray). Extra group transactions (e.g. box / resource-sharing) may appear—sign the full ordered group. - ARC-200 / ARC-72 reads: Use ulujs
Contractwith the public simulation sender (oneAddressfrom ulujs) for readonly ABI calls. - Event filters:
addressis forwarded to the indexer assender(arccjs API). - ARC-72
setApprovalForAll: Implemented againstcontractInstance.arc72_setApprovalForAllbecauseulujssafe_arc72_setApprovalForAllreferences undefined variables (upstream bug).
