What does the nano currency mcp server do?

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

How do I install the nano currency mcp server?

Register the server in your MCP client's configuration file and restart the client. This page carries ready-made configuration blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `NANO_RPC_URL`, `NANO_WORK_GENERATION_URL`, `NANO_PRIVATE_KEY`, `RAW_MAX_SEND_AMOUNT`, `NANO_MAX_SEND_AMOUNT`, `X402_NANO_NETWORK` 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.

Nano Currency MCP Server — Features, Setup & Tools

What is the Nano Currency MCP server?

Nano Currency becomes available to MCP clients through the nano currency mcp server. Send Nano currency from AI agents/LLMs.

What Nano Currency does

Nano Currency MCP Server gives MCP-compatible clients (including AI agents) the ability to send Nano currency and retrieve account & block information via the Nano node RPC.

Installing the nano currency 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 6 environment variables: NANO_RPC_URL, NANO_WORK_GENERATION_URL, NANO_PRIVATE_KEY, RAW_MAX_SEND_AMOUNT, NANO_MAX_SEND_AMOUNT, X402_NANO_NETWORK. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

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. Nano Currency sits in that group. 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 is a hosted server — you point your client at an endpoint rather than running a local process, so there is nothing to keep updated on your machine.
It will not start until its required credentials are present, so set those before wondering why the tools never appear.

MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the nano currency 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.
