Public MCP Server

The Klever MCP Server can be hosted as a public shared service, allowing any developer to connect without running it locally.

Connecting to the Public Server

# Add permanently (user-level)claude mcp add -t http klever-vm https://mcp.klever.org/mcp
# Add for current project onlyclaude mcp add -t http -s project klever-vm https://mcp.klever.org/mcp

Available Tools (Public Mode)

The public server exposes a read-only subset of tools for security:

Write operations (add_context) and shell-based tools (init_klever_project, add_helper_scripts) are disabled in public mode.

Self-Hosting with Docker

# Build and rundocker build -t mcp-klever-vm .docker run -p 3000:3000 mcp-klever-vm
# Or using docker composedocker compose up -d

Then connect:

claude mcp add -t http klever-vm-local http://localhost:3000/mcp

Self-Hosting without Docker

pnpm installpnpm run buildpnpm run start:public

Environment Variables (Public Mode)

Deployment Notes

For production at mcp.klever.org:

• Deploy Docker container behind a reverse proxy (nginx/Caddy/cloud LB) for TLS termination
• Ensure proxy passes mcp-session-id header and supports SSE (disable response buffering)
• Single instance is sufficient as the server is read-only with an in-memory knowledge base
• Consider Cloudflare for DDoS protection (SSE is supported)

Usage

Knowledge Base Loading

The server automatically loads the Klever knowledge base based on your storage type:

Memory Storage (Default)

• Knowledge is automatically loaded when the server starts
• No need to run pnpm run ingest separately
• Data exists only while server is running
• Best for development and testing

Redis Storage

# First, ingest the knowledge base (one time)pnpm run ingest
# Then start the serverpnpm run dev

• Knowledge persists in Redis database
• Survives server restarts
• Best for production use

This will load:

• Smart contract templates and examples
• Annotation rules and best practices
• Storage mapper patterns and comparisons
• Deployment and query scripts
• Common errors and solutions
• Testing patterns
• API reference documentation

Running as HTTP Server

# Development modepnpm run dev
# Production modepnpm run build && pnpm start

The HTTP API will be available at http://localhost:3000/api

Running as MCP Server

MODE=mcp pnpm start

Use with any MCP-compatible client.

Ingesting Contracts

Use the built-in ingestion utilities to parse and import Klever contracts:

import { StorageFactory } from './storage/index.js';import { ContextService } from './context/service.js';import { ContractIngester } from './utils/ingest.js';
const storage = StorageFactory.create('memory');const contextService = new ContextService(storage);const ingester = new ContractIngester(contextService);
// Ingest a single contractawait ingester.ingestContract('./path/to/contract.rs', 'AuthorName');
// Ingest entire directoryawait ingester.ingestDirectory('./contracts', 'AuthorName');
// Add common patternsawait ingester.ingestCommonPatterns();

Development

# Run testspnpm test
# Lint codepnpm run lint
# Format codepnpm run format
# Watch modepnpm run dev
# Ingest/update knowledge basepnpm run ingest

Contract Validation

The server can automatically validate Klever contracts and detect issues:

import { KleverValidator } from './parsers/validators.js';
const issues = KleverValidator.validateContract(contractCode);// Returns array of detected issues with suggestions

Validation checks include:

• Event annotation format (double quotes, camelCase)
• Managed type API parameters
• Zero address validation in transfers
• Optimal storage mapper selection
• Module naming conventions

Example Use Cases

1. Smart Contract Development Assistant

Integrate with your IDE to provide context-aware suggestions for Klever contract development.

2. Code Review Tool

Automatically check contracts against best practices and security patterns.

3. Learning Platform

Provide examples and explanations for developers learning Klever development.

4. Documentation Generator

Extract and organize contract documentation automatically.

Project Specifications and Examples

For complete project implementation examples and specifications, see:

• Project Specification Template - A fill-in template for specifying Klever smart contract projects. Guides AI assistants through MCP knowledge discovery, task tracking, and phased implementation. Includes a KleverDice example.

Project Initialization

The MCP server includes a powerful project initialization tool that creates a new Klever smart contract project with all necessary helper scripts.

Using the init_klever_project Tool

When connected via MCP, use the init_klever_project tool:

{  "name": "my-token-contract",  "template": "empty",  "noMove": false}

Parameters:

• name (required): The name of your contract
• template (optional): Template to use (default: "empty")
• noMove (optional): If true, keeps project in subdirectory (default: false)

Generated Helper Scripts

The tool creates the following scripts in the scripts/ directory:

• build.sh: Builds the smart contract
• deploy.sh: Deploys to Klever testnet with auto-detection of contract artifacts
• upgrade.sh: Upgrades existing contract (auto-detects from history.json)
• query.sh: Query contract endpoints with proper encoding/decoding
• test.sh: Run contract tests
• interact.sh: Shows usage examples and available commands

Example Workflow

1. Initialize project:

   bash

   # Via MCP toolinit_klever_project({"name": "my-contract"})

2. Build contract:

   bash

   ./scripts/build.sh

3. Deploy to testnet:

   bash

   ./scripts/deploy.sh

4. Query contract:

   bash

   ./scripts/query.sh --endpoint getSum./scripts/query.sh --endpoint getValue --arg myKey

5. Upgrade contract:

   bash

   ./scripts/upgrade.sh

All deployment history is tracked in output/history.json for easy reference.

Automatic Context Enhancement

The MCP server can automatically enhance queries with relevant Klever VM context. This ensures your MCP client always has access to the most relevant information.

Using Context Enhancement

Use the enhance_with_context tool to automatically add relevant context to any query:

{  "tool": "enhance_with_context",  "arguments": {    "query": "How do I create a storage mapper?",    "autoInclude": true  }}

This will:

1. Extract relevant keywords from the query
2. Search the knowledge base for matching contexts
3. Return an enhanced query with context included
4. Provide metadata about what was found

Integration Pattern

For MCP clients that want to always check Klever context first:

// Always enhance Klever-related queriesif (query.match(/klever|kvm|smart contract|endpoint/i)) {  const enhanced = await callTool('enhance_with_context', { query });  // Use enhanced.enhancedQuery for processing}

The context enhancement feature automatically enriches queries with relevant Klever VM knowledge from the comprehensive knowledge base.

Integration Examples

VS Code Extension

// Query for token transfer examplesconst response = await fetch('http://localhost:3000/api/context/query', {  method: 'POST',  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },  body: JSON.stringify({    query: 'transfer',    types: ['code_example'],    contractType: 'token'  })});

CLI Tool

# Using curl to add contextcurl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/context \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \  -d '{    "type": "security_tip",    "content": "Always check for zero address",    "metadata": {      "title": "Zero Address Check",      "tags": ["security", "validation"]    }  }'
