Common questions
Is Canton MCP 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: NOVES_API_KEY
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.3) reached the registry 5 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.
What can I use instead?

canton-mcp
Ask your AI about the Canton Network.
An MCP server for the Noves Canton API — balances, rewards, classified transactions, CC prices, identity, and the network directory, queryable from Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-capable agent.
You: How has the CC price moved over the last 7 days? Chart it.AI: → get_price(startDate, endDate, interval: "daily") CC closed at $0.1462 today, up 4.2% on the week (low $0.1402, high $0.1521). [renders an interactive price chart]
Quick start
Get your free API key at https://app.noves.fi/register/free.
Claude Desktop — one click
Download canton-mcp.mcpb from the latest release, double-click it (or drag into Claude Desktop), and paste your API key in the settings form that appears. The key is stored in your OS keychain. Done.
Claude Code
npx -y @noves/canton-mcp init # one-time: prompts for your key, validates it, saves itclaude mcp add canton -- npx -y @noves/canton-mcp
Or in one line, passing the key explicitly:
claude mcp add canton --env NOVES_API_KEY=<your-key> -- npx -y @noves/canton-mcpCursor / other MCP clients
After npx -y @noves/canton-mcp init, no env var is needed:
{"mcpServers": { "canton": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@noves/canton-mcp"] } } }
(Or skip init and add "env": { "NOVES_API_KEY": " " }.)
Key resolution order: NOVES_API_KEY env var → --api-key flag → ~/.config/canton-mcp/config.json. The key is sent only to api.canton.noves.fi and never logged.
Tools
Every tool that takes a party accepts an ANS name, a display name, or a raw party ID (name::hash) — resolution is automatic, and ambiguous names return a candidate list to choose from.
Examples:
- "Who are the super validators on Canton?" →
search_directory(orgType: "sv") - "What's Noves' current CC balance?" →
get_balance(party: "noves.unverified.cns") - "Chart Noves' balance over the last 30 days." →
get_balance_history(party, startDate, endDate) - "Show recent traffic purchases for this validator." →
get_transactions(party, txType: "buyTraffic")
| Tool | What it answers |
|---|---|
resolve_party | "Who is this party?" — canonical party ID, org type, balance, ANS names |
search_directory | "Who are the super validators?" — browse/filter the network directory |
get_balance | "What's this party's balance?" — current or at any point in time (date) |
get_balance_history | "Chart its balance over last month" — daily end-of-day snapshots |
get_rewards | "What did it earn?" — summary metrics, per-day totals, or individual payouts |
get_transactions | "Show its recent traffic purchases" — classified history (transfer, buyTraffic, …) |
get_transfer_stats | "How active is it?" — counts, volumes, unique counterparties |
get_price | "CC price trend this month?" — spot, historical spot, hourly/daily OHLC |
get_transaction | Full classified payload of one update by ID |
See examples/PROMPTS.md for questions to try.
Notes & limits
- Read-only. The server only reads data; it can't change anything on the network or in your account.
- Date inputs accept ISO dates (
2026-06-01), ISO datetimes, or unix timestamps. - Daily rewards are fetched in ≤30-day windows upstream; the server merges up to 90 days per call.
- List outputs are capped (default 25 rows) with
hasMorehints to keep agent context lean. get_transactionsreturns 25 rows by default and acceptslimitup to 100; useincludeCountfor the total count in a date window, andget_transactionfor one full update.- Chains/txTypes (1h), directory & identity lookups (5m), and spot price (60s) are cached in-process, keeping typical agent sessions comfortably inside the free tier.
