Installation

1. Stdio -- for MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex)

Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blackhole-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@blackhole-dex/blackhole-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "PRIVATE_KEY": "0x..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Or from source:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blackhole-mcp": {
      "command": "bash",
      "args": ["-lc", "cd /path/to/mcp-server && NODE_ENV=prod npx tsx src/index.ts"],
      "env": {
        "PRIVATE_KEY": "0x..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Option A — one command (recommended):

From npm:

claude mcp add --scope user blackhole-mcp -- npx @blackhole-dex/blackhole-mcp-server

From source:

claude mcp add --scope user blackhole-mcp -- bash -lc "cd /path/to/mcp-server && NODE_ENV=prod npx tsx src/index.ts"

--scope user writes to your global Claude config (~/.claude.json) so the server is available in every project. Restart Claude Desktop after running.

Option B — manual JSON (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS, %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows):

From npm:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blackhole-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@blackhole-dex/blackhole-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

From source:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blackhole-mcp": {
      "command": "bash",
      "args": ["-lc", "cd /path/to/mcp-server && NODE_ENV=prod npx tsx src/index.ts"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after editing the file.

Codex

Codex reads MCP server config from ~/.codex/config.toml (global) or .codex/config.toml (project-scoped, trusted projects only). The CLI and IDE extension share this file. See the Codex MCP docs for details.

Option A — Codex app / IDE (UI)

1. Open Settings (gear icon) in the Codex app or IDE extension.
2. Go to MCP settings and add a server (or choose Open config.toml and paste the TOML from Option C below).
3. Set the command to npx with args @blackhole-dex/blackhole-mcp-server, and add PRIVATE_KEY under environment variables if you plan to execute transactions.

Option B — CLI:

From npm:

codex mcp add blackhole-mcp --env PRIVATE_KEY=0x... -- npx @blackhole-dex/blackhole-mcp-server

From source:

codex mcp add blackhole-mcp --env PRIVATE_KEY=0x... -- bash -lc "cd /path/to/mcp-server && NODE_ENV=prod npx tsx src/index.ts"

In the Codex TUI, use /mcp to verify the server is active.

Option C — manual config.toml (~/.codex/config.toml or .codex/config.toml in the project):

From npm:

[mcp_servers.blackhole-mcp]
command = "npx"
args = ["@blackhole-dex/blackhole-mcp-server"]

[mcp_servers.blackhole-mcp.env]
PRIVATE_KEY = "0x..."

From source:

[mcp_servers.blackhole-mcp]
command = "bash"
args = ["-lc", "cd /path/to/mcp-server && NODE_ENV=prod npx tsx src/index.ts"]

[mcp_servers.blackhole-mcp.env]
PRIVATE_KEY = "0x..."

2. Library -- import into your own Node.js app

npm install @blackhole-dex/blackhole-mcp-server

import { createMcpServer } from "@blackhole-dex/blackhole-mcp-server";
import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js";

const server = createMcpServer();
const transport = new StdioServerTransport();
await server.connect(transport);

Options:

• Exported API: createMcpServer()
• Also exported: toolDefinitions, toolHandlers

Environment

The server uses production Avalanche mainnet configuration.

| Env | Network | RPC | |---|---|---| | prod | Avalanche Mainnet | https://api.avax.network/ext/bc/C/rpc |

Optional runtime variables:

| Variable | Purpose | |---|---| | RPC_URL | Override the Avalanche C-Chain RPC endpoint used for reads and execution. | | BASIC_GRAPH_URL | Override the basic pools subgraph URL. | | CL_GRAPH_URL | Override the concentrated-liquidity subgraph URL. | | GAMMA_VAULT_ADDRESSES | Comma-separated Gamma vault allowlist override. | | PRIVATE_KEY | Private key used by execute_transactions. The server derives userAddress from this key for any tool that needs it. | | USER_ADDRESS | Read-only fallback address when no private key is configured. |

When PRIVATE_KEY is configured, tools with userAddress can omit it; the server fills in the private key-derived address. execute_transactions requires the private key and will only broadcast when called with confirm: true.
