What does the hederatoolbox mcp server do?

It connects Hederatoolbox to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Hederatoolbox directly.

How do I install the hederatoolbox mcp server?

Run it through your MCP client's configuration using `npx -y @hederatoolbox/platform`. Add the server block to Claude Desktop's config file (or use `claude mcp add` for Claude Code), restart the client, and the tools appear automatically. Full snippets are on this page.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `HEDERA_ACCOUNT_ID`, `YOUR_ID`, `TOKEN_ID`, `HCS_TOPIC_ID`, `KYC_TOKEN_ID`, `PROPOSAL_ID`, `TOPIC_ID`, `YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What is the Hederatoolbox MCP server?

Connect Hederatoolbox to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Hedera blockchain intelligence for AI agents. 23 tools across 7 modules — HCS, compliance, governance, tokens, identity, contracts, Fixatum DID. Pay per call in HBAR. No registration required. The hederatoolbox mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

HederaToolbox is a production Model Context Protocol server. It gives AI agents structured, metered access to the full Hedera ecosystem — HCS topics, tokens, identity, smart contracts, governance, compliance, and Fixatum DID registration.

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: HEDERA_ACCOUNT_ID, YOUR_ID, TOKEN_ID, HCS_TOPIC_ID, KYC_TOKEN_ID, PROPOSAL_ID, TOPIC_ID, YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Installation

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @hederatoolbox/platform on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

Where it fits

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. It is maintained by mountainmystic; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Hederatoolbox's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Worth knowing first

It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
