Beyond MCP Server

Beyond mcp server lets Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients work with Beyond directly. An extensible MCP-compliant context server that provides standardized access to social platform data.

What Beyond does

An extensible Model Context Protocol server that provides standardized access to social platform data and onchain data. Currently supports Farcaster (via Neynar API) with placeholder for Twitter integration. More platforms like Telegram including onchain data will be added soon.

Key capabilities

• MCP Compliant — Fully implements the Model Context Protocol specification
• Multi-Platform — Designed to support multiple social media platforms
• Extensible — Easy to add new platform providers
• Well-Formatted — Optimized context formatting for LLM consumption
• Flexible Transport — Supports both stdio and SSE/HTTP transports

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 14 tools directly:

• Required — Set NEYNAR_API_KEY in your .env file
• search-content — Search for content on a social platform
• get-user-profile — Get a user's profile information
• get-user-profile-by-wallet — Get user profile using wallet address (Farcaster only)
• get-user-balance — Get user's wallet balance (Farcaster only)
• get-user-content — Get content from a specific user
• get-thread — Get a conversation thread
• get-trending-topics — Get current trending topics
• getTrendingFeed — Get trending feed with multi-provider support (Farcaster only)
• get-wallet-profile — Get profile based on wallet address
• search-channels — Search for channels on a platform (Farcaster only)
• Parameters — query, limit, cursor
• search-bulk-channels — Search for multiple channels in parallel (Farcaster only)
• Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this server

Installing the beyond mcp server

Setup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.

Configuration

Before the server will start you need to supply 3 environment variables: NEYNAR_API_KEY, ENABLE_FARCASTER, ENABLE_TWITTER. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Requirements

• Node.js 16+ - Neynar API key (for Farcaster access) https://neynar.com/

Where it fits

AI-service servers chain other models into your assistant, turning a single chat into a small production pipeline. Beyond sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Required, search-content, get-user-profile among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other ai services servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

• This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
• It will not start until its required credentials are present, so set those before wondering why the tools never appear.
• With 14 tools exposed, expect a noticeable bump in prompt size — disable it in projects that never use Beyond.
• Maintained by Beyond-Network-AI, written in TypeScript.
• MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the beyond mcp server actually does with your data.
• Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.
