A [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) (MCP) server that gives AI agents access to the **RustChain** Proof-of-Antiquity
Rustchain MCP MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Rustchain MCP directly instead of describing what you should do. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI agents access to the RustChain Proof-of-Antiquity blockchain, BoTTube AI-native video platform, and Beacon agent-to-agent communication.
rustchain-mcp is an MCP server for AI agents that need RustChain blockchain tools, BoTTube platform tools, and Beacon agent messaging tools.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at rustchain-mcp on PyPI and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Once Rustchain MCP is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
wallet_create — Generate new Ed25519 wallet with BIP39 seed phrasewallet_balance — Check RTC balance for any wallet IDwallet_history — Get transaction history for a walletwallet_transfer_signed — Sign and submit an RTC transferwallet_list — List wallets in local keystorewallet_export — Export encrypted keystore JSON for backupwallet_import — Import from seed phrase or keystore JSONrustchain_health — Check node health statusrustchain_epoch — Get current epoch informationrustchain_miners — List active miners with hardware detailsrustchain_create_wallet — Create a new RTC wallet (zero friction)rustchain_balance — Check RTC token balance for a walletYou will need 6 environment variables: RUSTCHAIN_API_KEY, RUSTCHAIN_NETWORK, BOTTUBE_UPLOAD_LIMIT, BEACON_MESSAGE_RETENTION, BOTTUBE_URL, BEACON_URL. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Among the monitoring and observability options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Rustchain MCP's toolset — wallet_create, wallet_balance, wallet_history and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by scottcjn; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
