About Hedera Testnet Mirror Node MCP Server
Hedera Testnet Mirror Node MCP Server turns Hedera Testnet Mirror Node API endpoints into MCP tools. It is for clients that need to query the testnet API, with Zod-based parameter validation and SSE transport.
Key features
- 01OpenAPI endpoints mapped to tools
- 02Zod parameter validation
- 03SSE transport
- 04Hedera Testnet Mirror Node access
Use cases
- 01Query Hedera testnet API endpoints
- 02Expose API calls to MCP clients
- 03Validate endpoint request parameters
MCP support
It exposes Hedera Testnet Mirror Node GET endpoints as tools for MCP clients, with request parameters validated using Zod. Clients connect through the SSE transport.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEHedera Testnet Mirror Node MCP Server
This repository contains a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that interfaces with the Hedera Testnet Mirror Node API. The server is built using FastMCP, a TypeScript framework for creating MCP servers. It utilises Zod schemas for input validation.
Features
- Endpoint Integration: Automatically converts Hedera Mirror Node APIs, defined in OpenAPI specification format, into MCP-compatible tools.
- Server-Sent Events (SSE) Support: Clients cannot connect to this MCP server over the SSE transport.
- Schema Validation: Ensures request parameters adhere to defined schemas using Zod.
Prerequisites
Before running the server, ensure you have the following installed:
- Bun, or any other environment capable of running Typescript directly.
Installation
(1) Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/hedera-dev/mirrornode-mcp-server
(2) Navigate to the project directory
cd mirrornode-mcp-server
(3) Install dependencies
npm install
Usage
To start the MCP server:
bun mcpServer.ts
Upon successful startup, you should see:
MCP server started
The server will be accessible via the configured SSE endpoint.
http://localhost:3333/hedera-testnet-mirror-node-api/sse

How It Works
(1) API Client Creation
An API client is created for the Hedera Testnet Mirror Node using the createApiClient function.
The MCP server proxies between this HTTP API client and its own SSE transport.
(2) Endpoint Conversion:
Each endpoint definition from endpointDefinitions is processed by the convertZodiosToMcp function, which:
- Validates that the endpoint uses the
GETmethod. - Maps parameters to Zod schemas.
- Defines an execution function that makes the corresponding API call and returns the result.
- Registers the tool with the MCP server.
(3) Server Initialization:
The MCP server is started with SSE transport.
Dependencies
- FastMCP: Framework for building MCP servers.
- Zod: TypeScript-first schema declaration and validation library.
- openapi-zod-client: Generates Zodios code from an OpenAPI specification file.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
