dev.avakit/avalanche MCP Server

dev.avakit/avalanche

AI-native developer toolkit for Avalanche: scaffold dapps, deploy contracts, and read chain state from Claude or Cursor.

What is the dev.avakit/avalanche MCP server?

The AvaKit MCP server is a Model Context Protocol integration that enables AI agents like Claude and Cursor to scaffold Avalanche dapps, deploy smart contracts, mint NFTs, and query blockchain state directly from the agent. It wraps AvaKit's core libraries (viem, Web3Auth, Foundry) to provide AI-native blockchain development without seed phrases or boilerplate.

AvaKit is an open-source, AI-native developer toolkit for building on Avalanche. The MCP server exposes AvaKit's scaffolding, deployment, and chain-reading capabilities to Claude Code and Cursor, letting you generate production-ready dapps with social login, deploy ERC-20 and ERC-721 contracts from the browser, mint tokens, and inspect on-chain state—all via natural language prompts to your AI agent.

Tools & capabilities

Tools this server exposes to the agent.

  • Scaffold dapp — Generate a new Avalanche dapp from templates (minimal, nft-mint, token-gated-app, erc20-token, icm-messenger, eerc-token, l1-launch, token-bridge) with social login and shadcn/ui wired in.
  • Deploy contract — Compile and deploy smart contracts (ERC-20, ERC-721, custom) to Avalanche Fuji testnet directly from the browser without Foundry CLI.
  • Mint tokens/NFTs — Execute mint transactions on deployed ERC-20 and ERC-721 contracts on-chain.
  • Read chain state — Query wallet balances, contract state, and transaction history on Avalanche C-Chain.
  • Send transactions — Construct and broadcast transactions on Avalanche Fuji testnet via connected wallet (social login, Core, or MetaMask).

Use cases

  • Ask Claude to scaffold a complete NFT minting dapp with social login and deploy it to Fuji in one prompt.
  • Have an AI agent deploy an ERC-20 token contract from your browser and mint initial supply without touching the CLI.
  • Query your Avalanche wallet balance and recent transactions through natural language to your agent.
  • Generate a token-gated app that unlocks content for holders of a specific NFT, with all scaffolding and deployment automated.
  • Build and deploy an Interchain Messaging dapp that sends messages between two Avalanche L1s on a local devnet via agent commands.

dev.avakit/avalanche MCP server FAQ

What is the AvaKit MCP server?

It's a Model Context Protocol server that gives Claude Code, Cursor, and Claude Desktop the ability to scaffold Avalanche dapps, deploy smart contracts, mint tokens, and read blockchain state—all via natural language prompts.

Is AvaKit free?

Yes, AvaKit is open-source (MIT license) and free to use. Deployments to Avalanche Fuji testnet are free; mainnet transactions incur standard gas fees.

How do I install it in Cursor or Claude Desktop?

Add the MCP server to your config (e.g., `~/.cursor/mcp.json` or Claude Desktop settings) with: `{"mcpServers": {"avakit": {"command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@avakit/mcp"]}}}`

Do I need a seed phrase or private key?

No. AvaKit uses social login (Google via Web3Auth) or Core/MetaMask wallet adapters; keys stay in the provider's HSM. A temporary burner wallet is available for testing, which stores its key in localStorage.

What chains does it support?

AvaKit is built for Avalanche C-Chain (EVM-compatible). Fuji testnet is the default; mainnet is explicit opt-in. Some templates also support Avalanche L1s and Interchain Messaging.

Do I need Foundry or a backend to deploy contracts?

No. Contracts compile to bundled bytecode and deploy directly from the browser via your connected wallet. No CLI or backend required.

AvaKit 🔺

The open-source, AI-native developer toolkit for Avalanche.

create-avalanche-app @avakit/core @avakit/react license live on Fuji watch the demo

Scaffold a social-login dapp, deploy-ready, with agent context baked in. One core, four surfaces. No seed phrases, no boilerplate.

avakit.dev · Documentation · Templates

▶ Watch the 90-second demo — one command to a live, social-login Avalanche dapp: sign in with Google, deploy an NFT from the browser, and mint it on Fuji.

npm create avalanche-app@latest

That's it. Connect with a social login, read your balance, and send your first transaction on Avalanche in minutes.

Then deploy an NFT contract and mint it, straight from the browser, on Fuji:

Proven live on Fuji. The mint in that clip is a real on-chain transaction; view it on Snowtrace (contract 0x7612…7786). No Foundry, no backend: the bytecode is bundled and deployed from the user's wallet.


Why AvaKit

Avalanche's C-Chain is EVM-compatible and end-user onboarding is already solved (Core wallet's seedless social login). The remaining friction is on the developer side: spinning up a modern dapp with onboarding wired up still takes hours. AvaKit removes that.

  • Zero-setup onboarding: a temporary in-browser wallet appears so a newcomer can try a real Fuji transaction with nothing installed, and social login (Google, no seed phrase) or Core/MetaMask is the upgrade — for those, keys stay in the provider's HSM and AvaKit never touches them. (The burner is the exception, and holds its key in localStorage — see SECURITY.md.)
  • AI-native by default: every generated app ships CLAUDE.md, llms.txt, and .cursor/rules, and @avakit/mcp lets Claude Code / Cursor scaffold, deploy, and read chain state for you.
  • shadcn/ui, themed: a clean design system with dark/light from day one. Copy-in components, no vendor lock-in.
  • Deploy-ready: contracts compile to bundled bytecode, so you can deploy straight from the browser. Fuji testnet by default.
  • Safe defaults: testnet-first, mainnet is explicit opt-in, secrets stay in env.
  • Wrap, don't rewrite: built on viem, Web3Auth, and Foundry, packaged for a great DX.

token-bridgeBridge an ERC-20 between two Avalanche L1s with Interchain Token Transfer (ICTT)

Every template ships with a social-login wallet, shadcn/ui (black & white, dark/light), and AI context files.

Use it in an existing app

npm install @avakit/react @avakit/core viem
"use client";
import { injectedAdapter } from "@avakit/core";
import { fuji } from "@avakit/core/chains";
import { AvaKitProvider, ConnectAvalanche } from "@avakit/react";

export function App() {
  return (
    <AvaKitProvider chains={[fuji]} adapters={[injectedAdapter()]}>
      <ConnectAvalanche />
    </AvaKitProvider>
  );
}

Add social login by installing @web3auth/modal and passing web3authAdapter({ clientId }) (from @avakit/core/web3auth).

@avakit/core and @avakit/react are ESM-only (use import, not require; Node ≥ 20.11).

Build with an AI agent

Add the MCP server to Claude Code, Cursor, or Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "avakit": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@avakit/mcp"] }
  }
}

Then just ask: "Scaffold an nft-mint dapp and deploy it to Fuji."
