About Monad MCP Tutorial
A tutorial project demonstrating an MCP server that interacts with the Monad testnet. It provides a tool for checking an account's MON balance and includes an MCP client example.
Key features
- 01Check MON balances on Monad testnet
- 02Include MCP server and client examples
Use cases
- 01Check a Monad testnet account balance
- 02Learn to build an MCP server for a blockchain testnet
MCP support
The server exposes a tool for checking an account's MON balance on Monad testnet, with a Claude Desktop client example.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

From the project READMEMonad MCP Tutorial
This project demonstrates how to create a MCP server that interacts with the Monad testnet. The MCP server provides a tool for checking MON token balances on the Monad testnet.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard that allows AI models to interact with external tools and services.
In this tutorial, we're creating an MCP server that allows MCP Client (Claude Desktop) to query Monad testnet to check MON balance of an account.
How to Run?
</> npm i </> run server: npx tsx src/server.ts </> run client: npx tsx src/client.ts

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.
