Configuration

Configuration via environment variables or CLI arguments:

Env VariableCLI ArgDefaultDescription
AKKA_API_BASE--api-basehttps://api.akka.financeAKKA API base URL
AKKA_API_KEY--api-keyrequiredAPI key for AKKA Finance API
AKKA_MCP_TRANSPORT--transportstdioTransport: stdio or http
AKKA_MCP_PORT--port3100Port for HTTP transport
AKKA_TIMEOUT--timeout15000Request timeout in ms

HTTP Transport

For remote/web-based agents:

npx @akka-finance/mcp-server --transport=http --port=3100

Exposes a Streamable HTTP endpoint at http://localhost:3100/mcp.

Base MCP Skill Plugin

A Base MCP skill plugin for token swaps on Base is included at skills/akka-swap.md. Drop it into your Base MCP skills directory to enable AKKA-powered swaps through Base's smart wallet flow.

Development

git clone https://github.com/Akka-Finance/akka-mcp-server.git
cd akka-mcp-server
npm install
npm run dev        # Run with tsx (hot reload)
npm run build      # Compile TypeScript
npm start          # Run compiled output

Testing with MCP Inspector

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/index.js

How It Works

This MCP server is a thin client that calls the AKKA Finance REST API. It does not hold private keys or execute transactions. All swap/approve tools return unsigned transaction data that the user must sign and broadcast separately.

Installation

Source-derived launch command. Check the maintainer’s required arguments and credentials before running:

bash
npx -y @akka-finance/mcp-server

Set up in your AI client

Merge this template into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Keep existing servers. Add any arguments, credentials, and permissions required by the maintainer; this template has not been install-tested.

    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop completely for changes to take effect. Confirm the server appears connected in the client’s tool list, then try a read-only example from its documentation.
