Cardano Mcp
Let your coding agent query Cardano chain data—balances, UTxOs, txs, ADAHandles, and stake—while you build wallets, dashboards, or automation.
Overview
Cardano MCP is an MCP server for the Build phase that lets agents read Cardano transactions, addresses, UTxOs, balances, ADAHandles, and stake delegation.
What is this MCP server?
- Cardano transactions, addresses, UTxOs, and balances via MCP tools
- ADAHandle resolution and stake delegation queries
- npm package @indigoprotocol/cardano-mcp v1.0.2 with stdio transport
- Maintained by Indigo Protocol (github.com/IndigoProtocol/cardano-mcp)
- Server version 1.0.2
- npm: @indigoprotocol/cardano-mcp
- Transport: stdio
What problem does it solve?
Building Cardano features means constantly context-switching to explorers and APIs while your agent guesses at addresses, UTxOs, and delegation state.
Who is it for?
Solo builders creating Cardano-aware agents, scripts, or backends who want stdio MCP access to common chain queries.
Skip if: Products with no Cardano footprint or teams that need guaranteed mainnet signing flows without reviewing tool outputs manually.
What do I get? / Deliverables
With the server registered, your agent can pull authoritative Cardano data through MCP tools while you implement integrations.
- MCP tools callable by your agent for Cardano chain reads
- Faster integration iteration without manual explorer copy-paste

How it compares
Chain-data MCP integration, not a Cardano smart-contract skill or wallet UI kit.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Cardano MCP for?
Developers and indie builders using AI agents to build or maintain Cardano-related software who need structured on-chain reads.
When should I use Cardano MCP?
During Build integrations when your agent must inspect balances, UTxOs, transactions, handles, or stake while you code.
How do I add Cardano MCP to my agent?
Install @indigoprotocol/cardano-mcp from npm, configure the stdio MCP server in your client, and follow Indigo Protocol repo docs for any network or API settings.
