EigenLayer

You can run and test the EigenLayer MCP Server locally or via a serverless endpoint, then connect clients like Claude or your own MCP client to receive EigenLayer documentation and guidance through MCP. This guide walks you through using the MCP client, installing and running the server locally, and additional notes for testing and troubleshooting.

How to use

Connect to the public or local MCP endpoint using an MCP client to interact with EigenLayer documentation via MCP. You can add the server to Claude using an explicit URL and transport, then query the server to receive structured responses. You can also run a local test client to exercise the endpoint and use an MCP Inspector to verify the connection and behavior.

How to install

Prerequisites: install Node.js and a package manager (pnpm is used in the example commands). Ensure your environment can run JavaScript/TypeScript tooling and has network access.

rm -rf .next node_modules .vercel
pnpm store prune
pnpm install
pnpm build
pnpm dev

node scripts/test-client.mjs https://localhost:3000

Additional steps for testing and integration

Add the MCP server to Claude Code or Claude MCP through the provided command, follow the on-screen prompts, and then test with a representative query such as a request to explain EigenLayer’s restaking mechanism.

Test the local client against the running server using the sample client script.

node scripts/test-client.mjs http://localhost:3000

Security and notes

Security-related disclosures should be reported to the designated security contact. The MCP Server is intended for testing and development; features may change and are not guaranteed to be production-ready.

If you want to inspect MCP behavior during development, you can run the MCP Inspector to observe interactions with the local server.

Available tools

claude_mcp_integration

mcp_inspector

MCP Inspector tool to observe MCP endpoints and interactions from a local node.

test_client

Sample client script (test-client.mjs) to invoke the MCP endpoint and verify responses.
