Common questions

Is Animica safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: ANIMICA_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.2) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Animica MCP Server

Registry & packaging mirror. The server source lives in the monorepo:

https://github.com/animicaorg/all/tree/main/python/animica/mcp — it ships inside

the animica PyPI wheel (animica.mcp.server,

[mcp] extra). This repo holds the registry/packaging metadata (server.json,

Smithery/Docker files) and contains zero server code, so it can never drift from

the shipped implementation.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the Animica AI + blockchain network. One command gives any MCP client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, …) 15 read/compute tools: OpenAI-compatible AI inference, a verifiable quantum randomness beacon, read-only chain and account lookups, mining-pool stats, and Studio compute cost estimates.

The installable package is animica-mcp — a thin console wrapper around animica[mcp]; installing it pulls in the server and exposes the animica-mcp command.

Install

pip install animica-mcp

or run it without installing:

uvx animica-mcp

Tools (15)

Tool	What it does
`animica_info`	Orientation: what Animica is, the AI API, quantum beacon, endpoints, docs. Start here.
`animica_ai_ask`	Ask Animica's ENA AI a question (OpenAI-compatible chat inference).
`animica_ai_models`	List the AI models available on Animica's OpenAI-compatible API.
`animica_ai_job_status`	Read the status of an ENA AI request/job by id (read-only).
`animica_quantum_beacon_latest`	Latest round of the verifiable quantum randomness beacon.
`animica_quantum_draw`	Compute a verifiable quantum-random draw off a beacon round (lottery, choice, weighted, shuffle, range, coin, dice, bytes).
`animica_quantum_verify`	Re-verify a quantum-random draw client-side — pure offline compute.
`animica_qdna_verify_gene`	Verify a qDNA training-genome gene seal (tamper-evidence) — pure offline compute.
`animica_chain_head`	Chain head: current height/hash and chain id. Read-only.
`animica_chain_block`	Read a block by height or hash (head block with neither). Read-only.
`animica_chain_account`	Balance + nonce for an `anim1…` address. Read-only — no keys, no signing.
`animica_pool_stats`	Live mining-pool stats: pool status plus active miner count.
`animica_network_hashrate`	Current network hashrate from the chain.
`animica_studio_estimate`	Estimate the ANM cost of an Animica Studio run before paying — local quote, charges nothing.
`animica_studio_functions`	List functions deployed to Animica Studio. Read-only.

Client setup

Claude Code

claude mcp add animica -- uvx animica-mcp

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

"mcpServers": { "animica": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["animica-mcp"] } } }

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or project .cursor/mcp.json):

"mcpServers": { "animica": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["animica-mcp"] } } }

VS Code

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

"servers": { "animica": { "type": "stdio", "command": "uvx", "args": ["animica-mcp"] } } }

If you installed with pip install animica-mcp, replace "command": "uvx", "args": ["animica-mcp"] with "command": "animica-mcp" in any of the configs above.

Configuration (environment variables)

All endpoints default to public Animica infrastructure — the server works with zero configuration.

Variable	Default	Purpose
`ANIMICA_BASE_URL`	`https://pool.animica.org/v1`	OpenAI-compatible inference API base (chat + models). `https://animica.dev/v1` is the free keyless endpoint if you prefer it.
`ANIMICA_RPC_URL`	`https://rpc.animica.org/rpc`	Node JSON-RPC endpoint (read-only calls).
`ANIMICA_POOL_URL`	`https://pool.animica.org`	Mining-pool stats API.
`ANIMICA_BEACON_URL`	`https://pool.animica.org`	Quantum randomness beacon (`/beacon/*`).
`ANIMICA_API_KEY`	(empty)	Optional Bearer key for the inference API; not required.
`ANIMICA_MODEL`	`anm-fast-8b`	Default model for `animica_ai_ask`.
`ANIMICA_MCP_TIMEOUT_S`	`60`	HTTP timeout (seconds) for backend calls.
`MCP_TRANSPORT`	`stdio`	Transport: `stdio` (default), `streamable-http`, or `sse`.

Transports

stdio (default) — what Claude Code / Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code use; just run animica-mcp.
streamable-http — MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http animica-mcp serves HTTP on 127.0.0.1:8765. For host/port flags use the full CLI from the animica package: animica mcp serve --transport http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8765 (serves MCP at /mcp).
sse — MCP_TRANSPORT=sse animica-mcp (legacy SSE clients).

The Dockerfile + smithery.yaml in this repo package the streamable-HTTP mode for Smithery and other container hosts (listens on $PORT, serves MCP at /mcp).

Security posture

Read + compute only. Chain access goes through a hard-coded allow-list of read-only JSON-RPC methods (RPC_READ_ALLOWLIST in the source); mutating methods (send, sign, deploy, claim) are not on the list and cannot be reached, even by a bug.
No keys. The server never handles private keys, never signs, never spends, and never mutates wallet state.
Quantum draw/verify and qDNA gene verification are pure local compute and work fully offline.
