Setup snapshot

git clone https://github.com/djwhitt/ar-io-example-mcp.git

1
Setup complexity is MEDIUM. Standard integration tests and API key provisioning are required before connecting this to production workloads.
2
Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

AR.IO Example MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with AR.IO gateways.

Features

Fetch raw transaction data with range requests
Get gateway information (for default or any specific gateway by hostname)
List all AR.IO gateways across networks (mainnet, testnet)
Execute GraphQL queries
Retrieve ArNS records with filtering and sorting options
Query Arweave Name Tokens (ANTs) for various data points
Query Parquet files using SQL via DuckDB integration
Uses STDIO transport for integration with MCP-compatible LLMs

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/djwhitt/ar-io-example-mcp.git
cd ar-io-example-mcp

# Install dependencies
yarn install

# Create .env file
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env to set your preferred AR.IO gateway URL

Usage

# Start the server in development mode (with auto-reload)
yarn dev

# Start the server in production mode
yarn start

Configuration

Configure the gateway URL by setting the AR_IO_GATEWAY_URL environment variable:

AR_IO_GATEWAY_URL=https://arweave.net

Configure the Parquet files location by setting the PARQUET_DIRECTORY environment variable:

PARQUET_DIRECTORY=/path/to/your/parquet/files

By default, the server looks for Parquet files in the data/parquet/tags directory relative to the project root.

Available Endpoints

The server provides the following resources and tools:

Resources

transaction://{txId} - Retrieve transaction data by transaction ID
graphql://{query} - Execute a GraphQL query
gateways://{network} - List all gateways for a specific network (mainnet, testnet)
gateway://{hostname} - Get information about a specific gateway by hostname
arns://{network} - Retrieve ArNS records for a specific network with optional filtering
ant://{processId}/{action} - Query Arweave Name Token (ANT) data by process ID
ant://versions - Get all available ANT versions
ant://latest-version - Get the latest ANT version
parquet://{query} - Execute SQL queries against Parquet files

Tools

fetch-raw-transaction - Fetch transaction data by transaction ID
get-gateway-info - Get information about the configured gateway
get-gateway-info-by-hostname - Get information about a specific gateway by hostname
execute-graphql - Execute a GraphQL query
list-gateways - List all AR.IO gateways for a specified network
get-arns-records - Retrieve ArNS records with optional pagination and sorting
get-ant-info - Get ANT information by process ID
get-ant-state - Get ANT state (including records) by process ID
get-ant-records - Get all records for an ANT by process ID
get-ant-record - Get a specific ANT record by undername
get-ant-versions - Get all available ANT versions
get-latest-ant-version - Get the latest ANT version
query-parquet - Execute SQL queries against Parquet files
get-parquet-schema - Get schema information about Parquet files

DuckDB Parquet Integration

The server integrates with DuckDB to provide SQL query capabilities for Parquet files:

Query Parquet files using standard SQL via the query-parquet tool
Get schema information and sample data via the get-parquet-schema tool
Access Parquet data through the parquet://{query} resource

The Parquet query functionality automatically handles BigInt serialization, ensuring that large numeric values are properly converted to strings in the JSON response.

Arweave Name Tokens (ANTs)

The server provides comprehensive support for querying ANTs:

Get basic ANT information like name, ticker, and owner
Retrieve full ANT state including records
Query specific records by undername
Access ANT versions information
Multiple resources and tools available for different query patterns

Development

# Run tests
yarn test

# Run a specific test
yarn test:single "test name pattern"

# Lint code

# Format code
