Security scores are indicators to help you make informed decisions, not guarantees. Always review permissions before connecting any MCP server.

Permissions Required

This plugin requests these system permissions. Most are normal for its category.

HTTP Network Access

Connects to external APIs or services over the internet.

What You'll Need

Set these up before or after installing:

Optional Animica API key (anm_live_...) for higher AI rate limits. The server works without it.Required

Environment variable: ANIMICA_API_KEY

Animica node JSON-RPC endpoint (read-only allow-listed methods only).Optional

Environment variable: ANIMICA_RPC_URL

OpenAI-compatible /v1 base URL used for AI inference (chat + models). https://animica.dev/v1 is the free keyless endpoint.Optional

Environment variable: ANIMICA_BASE_URL

Mining-pool stats API base URL.Optional

Environment variable: ANIMICA_POOL_URL

Quantum randomness beacon base URL (/beacon/* endpoints).Optional

Environment variable: ANIMICA_BEACON_URL

Default model id for the animica_ai_ask tool.Optional

Environment variable: ANIMICA_MODEL

HTTP timeout in seconds for backend calls.Optional

Environment variable: ANIMICA_MCP_TIMEOUT_S

How to Install & Connect

Animica MCP Server

Registry & packaging mirror. The server source lives in the monorepo: https://github.com/animicaorg/all/tree/main/python/animica/mcp — it ships inside the animica PyPI wheel (animica.mcp.server, [mcp] extra). This repo holds the registry/packaging metadata (server.json, Smithery/Docker files) and contains zero server code, so it can never drift from the shipped implementation.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the Animica AI + blockchain network. One command gives any MCP client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, …) 15 read/compute tools: OpenAI-compatible AI inference, a verifiable quantum randomness beacon, read-only chain and account lookups, mining-pool stats, and Studio compute cost estimates.

The installable package is animica-mcp — a thin console wrapper around animica[mcp]; installing it pulls in the server and exposes the animica-mcp command.

Install

pip install animica-mcp
# or run it without installing:
uvx animica-mcp

Tools (15)

ToolWhat it does
animica_infoOrientation: what Animica is, the AI API, quantum beacon, endpoints, docs. Start here.
animica_ai_askAsk Animica's ENA AI a question (OpenAI-compatible chat inference).
animica_ai_modelsList the AI models available on Animica's OpenAI-compatible API.
animica_ai_job_statusRead the status of an ENA AI request/job by id (read-only).
animica_quantum_beacon_latestLatest round of the verifiable quantum randomness beacon.
animica_quantum_drawCompute a verifiable quantum-random draw off a beacon round (lottery, choice, weighted, shuffle, range, coin, dice, bytes).
animica_quantum_verifyRe-verify a quantum-random draw client-side — pure offline compute.
animica_qdna_verify_geneVerify a qDNA training-genome gene seal (tamper-evidence) — pure offline compute.
animica_chain_headChain head: current height/hash and chain id. Read-only.
animica_chain_blockRead a block by height or hash (head block with neither). Read-only.
animica_chain_accountBalance + nonce for an anim1… address. Read-only — no keys, no signing.
animica_pool_statsLive mining-pool stats: pool status plus active miner count.
animica_network_hashrateCurrent network hashrate from the chain.
animica_studio_estimateEstimate the ANM cost of an Animica Studio run before paying — local quote, charges nothing.
animica_studio_functionsList functions deployed to Animica Studio. Read-only.

Client setup

Claude Code

claude mcp add animica -- uvx animica-mcp

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "animica": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["animica-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or project .cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "animica": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["animica-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "animica": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["animica-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

If you installed with pip install animica-mcp, replace "command": "uvx", "args": ["animica-mcp"] with "command": "animica-mcp" in any of the configs above.

Configuration (environment variables)

All endpoints default to public Animica infrastructure — the server works with zero configuration.

VariableDefaultPurpose
ANIMICA_BASE_URLhttps://pool.animica.org/v1OpenAI-compatible inference API base (chat + models). https://animica.dev/v1 is the free keyless endpoint if you prefer it.
ANIMICA_RPC_URLhttps://rpc.animica.org/rpcNode JSON-RPC endpoint (read-only calls).
ANIMICA_POOL_URLhttps://pool.animica.orgMining-pool stats API.
ANIMICA_BEACON_URLhttps://pool.animica.orgQuantum randomness beacon (/beacon/*).
ANIMICA_API_KEY(empty)Optional Bearer key for the inference API; not required.
ANIMICA_MODELanm-fast-8bDefault model for animica_ai_ask.
ANIMICA_MCP_TIMEOUT_S60HTTP timeout (seconds) for backend calls.
MCP_TRANSPORTstdioTransport: stdio (default), streamable-http, or sse.

Transports

  • stdio (default) — what Claude Code / Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code use; just run animica-mcp.
  • streamable-httpMCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http animica-mcp serves HTTP on 127.0.0.1:8765. For host/port flags use the full CLI from the animica package: animica mcp serve --transport http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8765 (serves MCP at /mcp).
  • sseMCP_TRANSPORT=sse animica-mcp (legacy SSE clients).

The Dockerfile + smithery.yaml in this repo package the streamable-HTTP mode for Smithery and other container hosts (listens on $PORT, serves MCP at /mcp).

Security posture

  • Read + compute only. Chain access goes through a hard-coded allow-list of read-only JSON-RPC methods (RPC_READ_ALLOWLIST in the source); mutating methods (send, sign, deploy, claim) are not on the list and cannot be reached, even by a bug.
  • No keys. The server never handles private keys, never signs, never spends, and never mutates wallet state.
  • Quantum draw/verify and qDNA gene verification are pure local compute and work fully offline.
