@avakit/mcp

The AvaKit MCP server — scaffold, deploy, and read Avalanche from Claude Code / Cursor over the Model Context Protocol.

Unlike docs-only servers, this exposes actions: it can create a dapp, deploy a contract, and read chain state.

Listed in the official MCP Registry as dev.avakit/avalanche.

Add to your MCP client

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "avakit": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@avakit/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and Claude Desktop.

Tools

| Tool | Description | | --- | --- | | scaffold_app | Create an Avalanche dapp from any of the 8 templates (list_templates returns the current set) | | list_templates | List available templates | | read_chain | Read a balance, a transaction receipt, or a contract view function | | deploy_contract | Deploy compiled bytecode (Fuji by default; mainnet requires confirm: true) | | estimate_gas | Estimate gas for a call before you send it | | get_context | AvaKit + Avalanche coding context and doc links |

Deploy key

deploy_contract signs with a private key from the AVAKIT_DEPLOYER_KEY environment variable. Use a throwaway testnet key — never a key holding real funds. Mainnet deploys require an explicit confirm: true.
