Model Context Protocol
🚀 Quickstart
This example shows you how to create a MCP Server to connect GOAT with Claude for Desktop.
It is implemented for both EVM (Base Sepolia) and Solana chains but can be updated to support any other chain, wallet and series of tools.
Requirements
- Have Claude for Desktop installed. You can download it from here
Setup
- Clone the repository:
1git clone https://github.com/goat-sdk/goat.git && cd goat
- Run the following commands from the
typescript
directory:
1cd typescript 2pnpm install 3pnpm build
- Go to the example directory:
1cd examples/by-framework/model-context-protocol
Configure the MCP server for Claude
- Copy the
mcp-evm.example.json
file tomcp-evm.json
:
1# For EVM 2cp mcp-evm.example.json mcp-evm.json 3 4# For Solana 5cp mcp-solana.example.json mcp-solana.json
- Update the json file with your values for either EVM or Solana:
- Absolute path to the parent folder of the
model-context-protocol
folder, you can get it by runningpwd
in themodel-context-protocol
folder WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY
RPC_PROVIDER_URL
- Copy/update the json file and rename it to
claude_desktop_config.json
file to the~/Library/Application Support/Claude/
directory:
1# For EVM 2cp mcp-evm.json ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json 3 4# For Solana 5cp mcp-solana.json ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
This tells Claude for Desktop:
- There’s are MCP servers named “goat-evm” / “goat-solana”
- Launch it by running the specified command
- Restart Claude for Desktop.
NOTE: When making changes to the code you need to make sure to:
- Run
pnpm build
in themodel-context-protocol
folder to generate the updatedevm.js
andsolana.js
files. - If you update the json file: copy it again to the
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/
directory, or update theclaude_desktop_config.json
file with the new values. You will also need to restart Claude.
Usage
-
Run Claude for Desktop
-
Chat with the agent:
- Check your balance for ERC-20 tokens
- Send ERC-20 tokens to another address
- Check your balance again to see the tokens you just sent
