Publishing

To publish as an npm package:

npm publish --access public

Setup

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v16 or higher)
• npm or yarn
• Access to Ethereum RPC providers (public or private)

Installation

1. Clone the repository or create a new project:

git clone https://github.com/JustaName-id/ens-mcp-server

2. Install dependencies:

npm i

3. Configure Ethereum providers: Create a .env file in the project root with the following (optional):

PROVIDER_URL=https://your-provider-url.com,https://your-backup-provider.com

If no providers are specified, the server will use these defaults:

• https://eth.drpc.org
• https://eth.llamarpc.com
• https://ethereum.publicnode.com
• https://rpc.ankr.com/eth

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

Using npx

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ens": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-server-ens"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PROVIDER_URL": "https://your-provider-url.com,https://your-backup-provider.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

Using local script

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ens": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/your/server.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PROVIDER_URL": "https://your-provider-url.com,https://your-backup-provider.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

Usage with Claude Code

claude mcp add ens -- npx -y mcp-server-ens

With custom providers:

claude mcp add ens -e PROVIDER_URL="https://your-provider-url.com" -- npx -y mcp-server-ens

Verify it's connected:

claude mcp list

Troubleshooting

If you encounter errors:

• Verify your Ethereum providers are working and accessible
• Check that the ENS names you're querying are formatted correctly
• Ensure you have the latest version of the ENS libraries
• Try using multiple providers by comma-separating them in the PROVIDER_URL environment variable
