iExec MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) compatible server to interact with the iExec protocol — built for Claude, agents, and AI tooling.

1. Wallet Setup

Prerequisites:

  • Node.js (version 18 or higher)
  • npm (version 9 or higher)

Option 1: Create a new wallet with iExec

npm install -g iexec
iexec wallet create --unencrypted

Find your wallet at:

  • Linux: ~/.ethereum/keystore/wallet.json
  • macOS: ~/Library/Ethereum/keystore/wallet.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%/Ethereum/keystore/wallet.json

Option 2: Use an existing private key

  • Create a wallet.json: 
    mkdir -p ./my-wallet
echo '{"privateKey":"0xYOUR_PRIVATE_KEY"}' > ./my-wallet/wallet.json
  • Or use your raw private key directly in Claude configuration.

Important: All sensitive configuration (PRIVATE_KEY_PATH or PRIVATE_KEY) is used only at the local MCP server level and is never transmitted to Claude or any other AI model. This information remains strictly confidential on your local machine.

2. Getting Started

Complete the Wallet Setup above, then choose your preferred installation method:

7. Method E: Cursor IDE Setup

Prerequisites:

  • Node.js (version 18 or higher)
  • npm (version 9 or higher)
  • Cursor IDE installed

Setup Steps:

7.1. Install iExec MCP Server

npm install -g @iexec/mcp-server

7.2. Configure Cursor

  1. Open Cursor Settings:

    • Press Cmd+, (macOS) or Ctrl+, (Windows/Linux)
    • Or go to Cursor > Preferences > Settings

  2. Search for "MCP" in settings:

    • Look for "Model Context Protocol" or "MCP" settings

  3. Add MCP Server Configuration:

    Option A: Using Settings UI (if available):

    • Add a new MCP server entry
    • Set the command to: @iexec/mcp-server
    • Add environment variables:
      • PRIVATE_KEY_PATH: /ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/YOUR/KEYSTORE/wallet.json
      • Or PRIVATE_KEY: 0xYOUR_PRIVATE_KEY

    Option B: Manual Configuration:

    • Open Cursor's configuration file (usually in user settings)
    • Add the following configuration:
    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "iexec-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@iexec/mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "PRIVATE_KEY_PATH": "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/YOUR/KEYSTORE/wallet.json"
      }
    }
  }
}

    Option C: Using Cursor's AI Features:

    • Open the AI chat panel in Cursor
    • Type: "Configure MCP server for iExec with private key path: /path/to/wallet.json"
    • Cursor should help you set up the configuration

  4. Restart Cursor - The iExec MCP server should now be available in your AI interactions

7.3. Alternative: Local Development Setup

If you prefer to run from source:

git clone https://github.com/iexecBlockchainComputing/iexec-mcp-server.git
cd iexec-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build

Then configure Cursor to use the local build:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "iexec-mcp-server": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO-IEXEC-MCP-SERVER-REPO/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "PRIVATE_KEY_PATH": "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/wallet.json"
      }
    }
  }
}

11. Security & Best Practices

  • For production, use PRIVATE_KEY_PATH and keep your wallet file secure.
  • Never commit your private key or wallet file to source control.
  • The server runs locally; your private key is never sent externally.
  • Claude and other agents never access your key or raw data.
