MCP Server

The maintained Xian MCP server is xian-mcp-server.

It exposes Xian wallet, query, transaction, indexed-read, crypto, and DEX operations to AI assistants and other tool-calling systems.

Important Safety Rule

This server can hold private keys and submit transactions.

Use it as a local tool. Do not expose it publicly and do not point it at production wallets unless you have deliberately accepted that risk.

Secret-bearing wallet tools are now disabled by default. To enable wallet creation/export, transaction submission helpers, signing, encryption, and decryption, set:

bash
XIAN_MCP_ENABLE_UNSAFE_WALLET_TOOLS=1

Without that opt-in, the MCP server still exposes the safer read/query/indexed inspection surface, but it rejects the unsafe wallet operations.

Those unsafe tools are also omitted from tools/list and the HTTP /tools discovery surface until you opt in, so downstream tool-calling systems only see the read-safe default surface.

Transport Modes

It supports two transport styles:

ModeUse case
MCP over stdiodesktop assistants and MCP-native clients
HTTP / RESTweb apps, custom tool-calling loops, and automation

In HTTP mode, the same tool registry is exposed as:

  • GET /tools for discovery
  • POST /tools/{name} for invocation

What It Can Do

Current capability groups include:

  • read balances, token holdings, contract state, and contract source
  • simulate transactions for chi estimation
  • read indexed blocks, transactions, events, and state history
  • inspect shielded wallet history and shielded output tags
  • verify messages and inspect DEX prices

With XIAN_MCP_ENABLE_UNSAFE_WALLET_TOOLS=1, it can also:

  • create or import wallets, including HD-wallet flows
  • send transactions and token transfers
  • sign, encrypt, and decrypt messages
  • execute DEX buy/sell helper flows

The implementation sits on top of the maintained Xian SDKs rather than inventing its own chain protocol.

Typical Uses

  • local AI-assisted wallet operations
  • agent workflows that need structured Xian tools
  • prototyping higher-level automation before building a dedicated app backend
