The Para MCP server is a robust server implementation designed to work with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and includes a Next.js demo UI for seamless integration and testing.

para-mcp-server – How to Run

This folder contains the Para MCP server + Next.js demo UI.

1. Prerequisites

  • Node.js 20 or higher
  • pnpm as the package manager (this repo uses a pnpm workspace)
  • PostgreSQL (optional, required only if you use pregenerated wallets – see DATABASE_SETUP.md)

2. Install Dependencies

From the repository root (where pnpm-workspace.yaml lives):

pnpm install

This installs all workspace dependencies, including those for para-mcp-server.

3. Configure Environment Variables

From this directory (typescript/community/mcp-tools/para-mcp-server):

  1. Copy the example env file:

    cp .env.example .env

  2. Edit .env and fill in the required values from the comments in .env.example:

    • Para SDK

      • PARA_API_KEY
      • NEXT_PUBLIC_PARA_API_KEY
      • NEXT_PUBLIC_PARA_ENVIRONMENT (e.g. BETA or PROD)

    • WalletConnect

      • NEXT_PUBLIC_WALLET_CONNECT_PROJECT_ID

    • Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP) – for faucet and paymaster support

      • CDP_API_KEY_ID
      • CDP_API_KEY_SECRET
      • NEXT_PUBLIC_PAYMASTER_URL (optional for sponsored gas)

    • RPC URLs (optional but recommended)

      • NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_SEPOLIA_RPC_URL

  3. (Optional, for pregenerated wallets) Configure the database URL as described in DATABASE_SETUP.md:

    DATABASE_URL=postgresql://username:password@host:port/database

    Then follow DATABASE_SETUP.md to create the database and run migrations if you need that functionality.

4. Run in Development

From this directory:

pnpm dev

This runs:

  • xmcp dev – starts the MCP HTTP server based on xmcp.config.ts
  • next dev -p 3012 – starts the Next.js app on http://localhost:3012

Open your browser at:

Use the xmcp documentation for details on connecting your MCP client to the running server.

5. Build and Run in Production Mode

From this directory:

  1. Build the project:

    pnpm build

    This runs xmcp build and then next build.

  2. Start the production server:

    pnpm start

The Next.js app will run on http://localhost:3012 in production mode. Ensure your .env file contains the correct production API keys and URLs before deploying or running in production.
