From the repository
Once configured, restart Claude Desktop. Claude will now have access to the Solana blockchain tools. You can ask Claude to:
1. Check a wallet balance:
What's the balance of the Solana wallet address 5YNmS1R9nNSCDzb5a7mMJ1dwK9uHeAAF4CmPEwKgVWr8?
2. Get the current block height:
What's the current block height on Solana?
3. Get information about NFTs:
What NFTs does the wallet address 5YNmS1R9nNSCDzb5a7mMJ1dwK9uHeAAF4CmPEwKgVWr8 own?
Claude will use the MCP server to fetch this information directly from the Solana blockchain via Helius.
To configure Claude Desktop to use this MCP server:
1. Open Claude Desktop
2. Navigate to the Claude Desktop configuration file:
- macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
- Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
3. Add the MCP server configuration:
