What is the Chronos MCP MCP server?

If you want an AI assistant working directly with Chronos MCP, the chronos mcp mcp server is the bridge. Chronos – A Stellar MCP server.

What Chronos MCP does

Chronos is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server tailored for the Stellar blockchain and designed specifically for integration with Claude Desktop and similar AI applications. Chronos empowers your AI assistant with on-chain tools enabling streamlined interactions with the Stellar network.

Chronos is built to be extensible and operates as a standard Node.js package, allowing it to be easily deployed, installed, and integrated—similar to other MCP servers such as base-mcp.

Key capabilities

  • Stellar Integration: — Fully interacts with the Stellar mainnet via the Horizon API
  • Easy Deployment: — Publish and install Chronos using npm
  • Claude Desktop Compatibility: — Seamlessly integrate with Claude Desktop by updating MCP server configuration
  • Extensible Architecture: — Designed for future enhancements and new tool integrations

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 4 tools directly:

  • connect_wallet — The connect_wallet tool exposed by this server
  • list_tokens — Lists all tokens and assets in the specified Stellar wallet
  • get_balances — The get_balances tool exposed by this server
  • transfer_funds — The transfer_funds tool exposed by this server

Installing the chronos mcp mcp server

The server is distributed via npm as chronos-mcp, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.

Configuration

Before the server will start you need to supply 2 environment variables: STELLAR_NETWORK, STELLAR_SECRET_KEY. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Requirements

  • Node.js (v14 or higher) - npm - Stellar wallet credentials (secret key for connection) - Internet connectivity to interact with the Stellar network

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Chronos MCP sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — connect_wallet, list_tokens, get_balances among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools 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.
  • Maintained by grandmastr.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the chronos mcp 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.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Chronos MCP to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 4 tools (connect_wallet, list_tokens, get_balances, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Chronos MCP directly.
