Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
Akash NetworkCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)nodeArguments-
Argument 1
<path to dist/index.js>
Environment-
AKASH_RPC_URL
https://rpc.akashnet.net:443 -
AKASH_MNEMONIC
<your mnemonic here>
Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
-
Argument 1
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches

# Akash MCP Server
Akash MCP Server is a TypeScript implementation of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with the Akash Network.
</div>
Note
This project is still under development and not all tools are available. We are working on adding more tools and improving the server.
We are open to contributions! See CONTRIBUTING.md for more details.
Overview
This server provides a bridge between AI agents and the Akash Network, allowing AI models to deploy applications, create leases, manage deployments, and interact with other Akash services directly through typed tools. It implements the Model Context Protocol, making it compatible with various AI platforms and tools.
Features
- Wallet and Client Management: Handles Akash wallet authentication and client initialization
- Certificate Management: Manages Akash certificates
- Tools for Akash Interaction:
- Account address retrieval
- Deployment creation, querying, updating, and termination
- SDL (Stack Definition Language) operations
- Bid management
- Lease creation
- Manifest deployment
Prerequisites
- Node.js (v18 or later)
- An Akash wallet (a mnemonic or a hex-encoded private key is required for interaction with Akash Network)
- Basic knowledge of Akash Network
Installation
1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/akash-network/mcp.git
cd mcp
2. Install dependencies:
npm install
3. Build the project:
npm run build
Usage with Claude Desktop or Cursor
Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json or .cursor/mcp.json. See here for more details.
Make sure to replace <path to dist/index.js> with the path to the dist/index.js file you built.
{
"mcpServers": {
"Akash": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["<path to dist/index.js>"],
"env": {
"AKASH_MNEMONIC": "<your mnemonic here>", // OR "AKASH_PRIVATE_KEY": "<your 64-character hex string>"
"AKASH_RPC_URL": "https://rpc.akashnet.net:443" // optional, defaults to https://rpc.akashnet.net:443
}
}
}
}
Usage
Development Mode
Run the server with the MCP inspector for development:
npm run dev
For watch mode during development:
npm run dev:watch
Using the Server with AI Models
The server exposes a standard MCP interface that can be used by AI models to interact with the Akash Network. It uses the stdio transport by default, making it compatible with most MCP clients.
