Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
Shardeum MCP ServerCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Install dependencies with npm install, configure the RPC endpoint, and register the server in an MCP‑compatible client (e.g., Cursor) using the provided JSON config. Optionally build and run a Docker container.
Claude Desktop / Cursor
Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

Shardeum MCP Server
Model Context Protocol server for distributed-system inspection and developer workflows on Shardeum.
This project exposes Shardeum network and RPC operations as structured MCP tools so AI agents, IDE assistants, and developer workflows can inspect distributed-system state through validated tool calls instead of ad hoc scripts. It is designed for agent-driven debugging, node/network inspection, and repeatable developer operations.
What It Demonstrates
- MCP server implementation for AI-agent tool use
- Structured tool-call interfaces over distributed-system RPC methods
- Node, cycle, account, block, transaction, and receipt inspection
- IDE integration with Cursor and MCP-compatible clients
- Dockerized deployment path
- Error handling around network and RPC failures
- Security-reviewed MCP server listing through MseeP/Smithery badges

- eth_blockNumber
- eth_getBlockByHash
- eth_getBlockByNumber
- eth_getBlockReceipts
- eth_getTransactionByHash
- eth_getTransactionReceipt
- eth_getTransactionCount
Account and Execution Queries
- eth_getBalance

Cursor Integration
Clone the repo, install dependencies, and register the MCP server:
npm install
Cursor MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"shardeum-mcp": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["path_to/shardeum-mcp-server/index.js"]
}
}
}
Example prompts:
What is the current Shardeum block number?
List available network nodes and summarize their state.
Fetch the receipt for this transaction and explain the result.
Inspect this account balance and transaction count.
Configuration
Set the RPC endpoint in the server configuration or update the rpcUrl constant for your target environment.
Docker
docker build -t shardeum-mcp-server .
docker run --rm shardeum-mcp-server
Why This Is Non-Trivial
MCP servers give agents operational access to external systems. This project converts distributed-system RPC calls into explicit tool schemas, making agent actions easier to validate, debug, and constrain compared with free-form shell or HTTP access.
Roadmap
- Expand supported network methods
- Add write-safe transaction workflows with explicit confirmation gates
- Improve typed responses and validation
- Add broader distributed-system diagnostics
- Add more deployment examples for MCP-compatible clients
