Iota Agent MCP

IOTA Agent MCP

MCP server that connects AI coding agents to the IOTA blockchain. Provides 18 tools across wallet operations, Move smart contract development, and on-chain data queries — all via stdio transport with no secrets in the MCP process.

Workflow

1. Configure the MCP server in your agent's settings (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code Copilot)
2. Query on-chain data — fetch objects, transactions, coins, epoch info, or decompile modules
3. Develop Move contracts — build, test with coverage, generate unsigned publish transactions
4. Sign and publish — generate unsigned transaction, submit via iota_wallet_sign_execute, check iota_wallet_pending for approval status, verify on-chain with iota_transaction

Signing flow (human-in-the-loop)

Wallet operations that modify state require human approval:

1. Call iota_wallet_sign_execute with base64-encoded transaction bytes — creates a pending request
2. Call iota_wallet_pending to confirm the request was queued
3. The human approves (iota_wallet_approve) or rejects (iota_wallet_reject) via the agent-wallet server
4. On approval, verify the transaction landed on-chain: call iota_transaction with the returned digest
5. If rejected, inform the user and do not retry without explicit instruction

Tools

Wallet (8 tools)

• iota_wallet_address — Get the active wallet address
• iota_wallet_balance — Check IOTA balance for the active wallet
• iota_wallet_accounts — List all derived wallet accounts
• iota_wallet_sign_execute — Sign and execute a transaction (requires human approval via agent-wallet server)
• iota_wallet_pending — List pending signing requests awaiting approval
• iota_wallet_approve — Approve a pending signing request by ID
• iota_wallet_reject — Reject a pending signing request by ID
• iota_wallet_switch_network — Switch between mainnet, testnet, and devnet

Move CLI (4 tools)

• iota_cli — Run any IOTA CLI command (e.g. client gas, move new my_project)
• iota_move_build — Compile a Move package and report build results
• iota_move_test_coverage — Run Move tests with coverage analysis and summary
• iota_move_publish_unsigned — Generate unsigned publish transaction for agent-wallet signing

On-Chain Query (6 tools)

• iota_object — Fetch object data by ID (owner, type, version, content)
• iota_objects_by_owner — List objects owned by an address
• iota_transaction — Fetch transaction details by digest (input, effects, events)
• iota_coins — Get coin objects for gas estimation and token queries
• iota_epoch_info — Current epoch, checkpoint, and network statistics via GraphQL
• iota_decompile — Retrieve and decompile a deployed Move module's ABI

Examples

Build and test a Move package:

iota_move_build(path: "./my_move_project")
→ "BUILDING my_move_project ... Build Successful"

iota_move_test_coverage(path: "./my_move_project")
→ "## Test Results\nRunning Move unit tests ... 5 tests passed\n\n## Coverage Summary\n85.7% coverage"

Query an on-chain object:

iota_object(object_id: "0xabc123...")
→ { "owner": "0xdef456...", "type": "0x2::coin::Coin<0x2::iota::IOTA>", "version": 42, "content": {...} }

Publish a Move package with wallet signing:

iota_move_publish_unsigned(path: "./my_move_project", gas_budget: "500000000")
→ "AAACAQBk..." (base64 tx bytes)

iota_wallet_sign_execute(tx_bytes: "AAACAQBk...")
→ "Request queued (id: req-1). Awaiting human approval."

Configuration

Set environment variables to override defaults:

• IOTA_WALLET_SERVER — Agent wallet server URL (default: http://localhost:3847)
• IOTA_RPC_URL — IOTA JSON-RPC endpoint (default: mainnet)
• IOTA_GRAPHQL_URL — IOTA GraphQL indexer (default: mainnet)
