What It Does

Solana MCP by Vybe provides a public Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP clients to interact with the Solana blockchain. It exposes Solana RPC methods, SPL token queries, Token-2022 operations, and account lookups through a standardized MCP interface at https://mcp.vybenetwork.xyz.

Instead of writing custom Solana integration code, AI agents can connect to this MCP server and immediately query balances, transaction history, token metadata, NFTs, and execute read operations against Solana mainnet/devnet.

Installation

Cursor Setup

Add to your Cursor MCP configuration file (~/.cursor/mcp.json or workspace .cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "solana-vybe": {
      "url": "https://mcp.vybenetwork.xyz"
    }
  }
}

Authentication uses OAuth via the client's flow for the MCP host.

Claude Desktop Setup

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "solana-vybe": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.vybenetwork.xyz"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code with Cline/Roo-Cline

Add to MCP settings:

{
  "solana-vybe": {
    "url": "https://mcp.vybenetwork.xyz"
  }
}

Verify Connection

After configuration, restart your MCP client. The Solana MCP tools should appear in your client's tool/resource list. Check for tools like:

• solana_get_account_info
• solana_get_balance
• solana_get_token_accounts
• solana_get_transaction

Key Capabilities

Available MCP Tools

The server exposes Solana RPC methods as MCP tools. Common operations include:

Account Operations:

• Get account balance (SOL)
• Fetch account info and data
• Query token accounts by owner
• Get program accounts

Token Operations:

• Get SPL token balance
• Query token metadata
• List token accounts
• Token-2022 extensions support

Transaction Operations:

• Get transaction details
• Query transaction history
• Check transaction status

Blockchain Queries:

• Get block information
• Query slot/epoch data
• Network status

Usage Examples

Query SOL Balance

Ask your AI agent:

What's the SOL balance of address 7xKXtg2CW87d97TXJSDpbD5jBkheTqA83TZRuJosgAsU?

The agent will call the MCP server's solana_get_balance tool with:

{
  "address": "7xKXtg2CW87d97TXJSDpbD5jBkheTqA83TZRuJosgAsU",
  "network": "mainnet-beta"
}

Get Token Accounts

Show me all SPL token accounts owned by CuieVDEDtLo7FypA9SbLM9saXFdb1dsshEkyErMqkRQq

The agent uses solana_get_token_accounts:

{
  "owner": "CuieVDEDtLo7FypA9SbLM9saXFdb1dsshEkyErMqkRQq",
  "network": "mainnet-beta"
}

Fetch Transaction Details

Get details for transaction 5wHu1qwD7q5ifaN5nwdcDqNFo53GJqa7nLp2BeeEpcnkKoLkJGNK3omvLsEvVpHndv2QgHCzZQmAy6Qx8NXKvPRQ

Agent calls solana_get_transaction:

{
  "signature": "5wHu1qwD7q5ifaN5nwdcDqNFo53GJqa7nLp2BeeEpcnkKoLkJGNK3omvLsEvVpHndv2QgHCzZQmAy6Qx8NXKvPRQ",
  "network": "mainnet-beta"
}

Query Token Metadata

What's the metadata for token mint EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v?

Agent uses solana_get_token_metadata:

{
  "mint": "EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v",
  "network": "mainnet-beta"
}

Switch Networks

All tools support network parameter:

• mainnet-beta (default)
• devnet
• testnet

Check the devnet balance of 7xKXtg2CW87d97TXJSDpbD5jBkheTqA83TZRuJosgAsU

Common Patterns

Building a Token Portfolio Viewer

// Agent workflow pseudocode
const owner = "USER_WALLET_ADDRESS";

// 1. Get SOL balance
const solBalance = await mcp_call("solana_get_balance", {
  address: owner,
  network: "mainnet-beta"
});

// 2. Get all token accounts
const tokenAccounts = await mcp_call("solana_get_token_accounts", {
  owner: owner,
  network: "mainnet-beta"
});

// 3. For each token, fetch metadata
for (const account of tokenAccounts) {
  const metadata = await mcp_call("solana_get_token_metadata", {
    mint: account.mint,
    network: "mainnet-beta"
  });
  // Display name, symbol, balance
}

Transaction History Analysis

// Get recent transactions for an address
const transactions = await mcp_call("solana_get_signatures_for_address", {
  address: "USER_ADDRESS",
  limit: 10,
  network: "mainnet-beta"
});

// Fetch details for each
for (const sig of transactions) {
  const txDetail = await mcp_call("solana_get_transaction", {
    signature: sig.signature,
    network: "mainnet-beta"
  });
  // Parse transfers, program interactions
}

NFT Collection Query

// Get token accounts (NFTs are tokens)
const nftAccounts = await mcp_call("solana_get_token_accounts", {
  owner: "COLLECTOR_ADDRESS",
  network: "mainnet-beta"
});

// Filter for NFTs (amount = 1, decimals = 0)
const nfts = nftAccounts.filter(acc => 
  acc.amount === "1" && acc.decimals === 0
);

// Fetch metadata for each NFT mint
for (const nft of nfts) {
  const metadata = await mcp_call("solana_get_token_metadata", {
    mint: nft.mint,
    network: "mainnet-beta"
  });
  // metadata contains name, image URI, attributes
}

Configuration

Network Selection

Always specify the network parameter in tool calls:

{
  "network": "mainnet-beta"  // or "devnet", "testnet"
}

Authentication

The public MCP server at https://mcp.vybenetwork.xyz uses OAuth authentication managed by your MCP client. No API keys need to be stored in your configuration files.

When you first connect, your client will prompt for OAuth authorization. Follow the client's authentication flow.

Rate Limiting

The public server has rate limits. For production applications requiring high throughput:

1. Contact Vybe Network for enterprise access
2. Consider hosting a private instance
3. Implement request batching in your agent logic

Environment Variables

If you need to override the default endpoint (e.g., for testing):

export VYBE_MCP_URL="https://custom-mcp.example.com"

Then reference in config:

{
  "url": "$VYBE_MCP_URL"
}

Troubleshooting

Connection Refused

Symptom: Client can't connect to https://mcp.vybenetwork.xyz

Solutions:

1. Check network connectivity: curl https://mcp.vybenetwork.xyz
2. Verify MCP config syntax (valid JSON)
3. Restart your MCP client after config changes
4. Check client logs for OAuth errors

Tool Not Found

Symptom: Agent says "Tool solana_get_balance not available"

Solutions:

1. Confirm MCP server is connected (check client status)
2. List available tools in your client's MCP inspector
3. Verify you're using the correct tool name (snake_case)
4. Restart client to refresh tool registry

Authentication Errors

Symptom: 401/403 errors or "Authentication required"

Solutions:

1. Complete OAuth flow in your client
2. Check if OAuth token expired (re-authenticate)
3. For organization repos, grant OAuth app access to vybenetwork org
4. Verify SAML/SSO compliance if using enterprise GitHub

Invalid Address/Signature

Symptom: "Invalid base58 string" or "Invalid public key"

Solutions:

1. Verify Solana addresses are valid base58
2. Check address length (32-44 characters typical)
3. Ensure transaction signatures are valid base58 (87-88 chars)
4. Don't confuse mainnet/devnet addresses

Network Timeout

Symptom: Requests hang or timeout

Solutions:

1. Check Solana network status (mainnet-beta/devnet)
2. Retry with exponential backoff
3. Reduce concurrent requests (rate limiting)
4. Switch to devnet if mainnet is congested

Missing Token Metadata

Symptom: Token metadata returns null or incomplete

Solutions:

1. Not all tokens have metadata (especially older SPL tokens)
2. Check if the mint address is correct
3. Verify token uses Metaplex standard
4. Query on-chain account data directly as fallback

Advanced Usage

Custom Queries with Program Filters

// Get accounts owned by a specific program
const programAccounts = await mcp_call("solana_get_program_accounts", {
  programId: "TokenkegQfeZyiNwAJbNbGKPFXCWuBvf9Ss623VQ5DA",
  filters: [
    {
      memcmp: {
        offset: 0,
        bytes: "OWNER_ADDRESS_BASE58"
      }
    }
  ],
  network: "mainnet-beta"
});

Block Explorer Integration

// Build a block explorer URL from transaction signature
const signature = "5wHu1qwD...";
const explorerUrl = `https://explorer.solana.com/tx/${signature}`;

// Or use Solscan
const solscanUrl = `https://solscan.io/tx/${signature}`;

• "Show me the top 5 token holdings for address X"
• "Analyze the transaction history for this NFT mint"
• "Compare token balances between mainnet and devnet for this wallet"
• "List all Token-2022 accounts with transfer fees enabled"
• "What programs did this transaction interact with?"
