Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Agent-safe fleet management for independent Solana validators and RPC nodes

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Crypto & blockchain

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • PyPIPython’s uv installed (for the uvx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

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

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add solfleet -- uvx solfleet --from solfleet solfleet-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

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

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

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

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Solfleet 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

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 (0.1.1) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

solfleet

Agent-safe fleet management for independent Solana validators and RPC nodes. One config file describes your fleet across devnet, testnet, and mainnet. An MCP server (and a CLI) exposes Solana-aware status, safe in-place upgrades, and health-driven DNS failover to Claude or any MCP client. Every operation that changes a node is dry-run by default, policy-gated, and audited. solfleet never reads or moves your keypairs.

See PLAN.md for the roadmap and design notes.

Architecture

solfleet runs on the operator's machine (or a small VM). It talks to the fleet over JSON-RPC (read) and SSH/scp (act), builds artifacts on a separate build host, computes slot lag against each cluster's reference RPC, and manages failover records at the DNS provider. Every mutation flows through one gate and is written to a SQLite audit log.

Why

  • Solana-aware health. A generic health check sees HTTP 200; a Solana node can be 500 slots behind and still return 200. solfleet checks slot lag against the cluster, delinquency, and version drift.
  • Build-and-distribute. Agave v3.0 dropped prebuilt validator binaries, so every operator now has to build from source. solfleet builds once on a dedicated builder node (with the ABI-matched Yellowstone geyser .so), caches it, and distributes the artifact set to the fleet.
  • Leader-aware restarts. Restarting a voting validator during its own leader slots skips blocks. solfleet restarts validators via a leader-aware safe-exit; RPC nodes cycle via systemctl.
  • Safe failover. The watch loop pulls lagging/unhealthy nodes out of DNS and restores them on recovery, and refuses to ever empty a pool.

Status

v1. Built and unit-tested (91 tests, CI on Python 3.11-3.13). Most paths are also proven live against a disposable devnet node and a real Cloudflare zone.

Proven live:

  • read path: status, validate, vote-status, inspect
  • restart (RPC via systemctl; validator via leader-aware safe-exit)
  • in-place upgrade end to end (build agave from source on a builder, distribute, sha256-verify on the target, atomic swap, catch-up) for both RPC and voting-validator nodes
  • bootstrap-builder (toolchain + deps on a bare builder)
  • provision a voting validator from bare disks (format NVMe, install, render the voting unit, start, catch up, vote)
  • DNS driver plus dns status / eject / restore and last-member protection, against a live Cloudflare zone

Unit-tested but not yet run live:

  • the autonomous watch loop (probe -> decide -> act); its decision logic is unit-tested and it reuses the now-proven Cloudflare driver
  • the Route53 driver (no AWS zone to point at yet)

Not built yet: HTTP transport (MCP is stdio-only today). See PLAN.md (M6).

Example session

Pointed at a small devnet fleet. With no flags, commands are read-only or dry-run.

Fleet health is Solana-aware, not just an HTTP 200:

$ solfleet status

CLUSTER NODE ROLE HEALTH VERSION SLOT LAG VOTE devnet rpc-1 rpc ok 4.1.0-rc.1 0 - devnet rpc-2 rpc ok 4.1.0-rc.1 0 -

An upgrade is dry-run by default. It returns the ordered plan and the gate decision and changes nothing until you pass --confirm:

$ solfleet plan-upgrade rpc-1 4.1.0

{ "decision": { "operation": "upgrade", "cluster": "devnet", "node": "rpc-1", "mode": "dry-run", "allowed": true, "plan": [ "on builder 'build-1': build agave 4.1.0 from source", "distribute artifact set to rpc-1; checksum-verify each (abort on mismatch)", "stop solana-validator, swap, start", "swap /usr/local/bin/agave-validator + geyser .so + version marker atomically", "wait until healthy + caught up to https://api.devnet.solana.com", "verify reported version == 4.1.0; record before/after" ], "reasons": [ "dry-run: preflight checks pass; pass confirm=true to execute" ] }, "target_version": "4.1.0" }

Over MCP, the same operations are tools (fleet_status, plan_node_upgrade, upgrade, ...). Claude gets that same plan back and has to pass confirm=true to execute, so an agent cannot mutate a node by accident.

Tools

Read-only: fleet_status, node_detail, version_drift, vote_status, leader_schedule, validate, plan_node_upgrade, dns_pool_status, audit_log.

Gated (dry-run by default; confirm=true to execute): bootstrap_builder_host, provision, restart, upgrade, dns_pool_eject, dns_pool_restore.

Every mutation is dry-run by default, checked against policy.yaml (allowed versions, disk floor, leader-window minimum), and written to a SQLite audit log. The watch loop is the one autonomous mutator; it is bounded by the same audit log and the never-empty-a-pool rule.

Safety model

  • Dry-run by default. Mutations return their ordered plan and preflight unless called with confirm=true.
  • Policy gate. Per-cluster policy.yaml: allowed version globs, disk floor, and require_leader_window_minutes for validators.
  • Checksum-verified distribution. Upgrade artifacts are sha256-checked on the target against the builder before any swap.
  • No keys, ever. solfleet does not read, move, or generate identity/vote keypairs. Voting-validator identity failover is out of scope by design (double-signing risk).
  • Audit log. Every dry-run and execute is recorded in SQLite.
