This MCP server gives Claude direct access to Solana blockchain data via Helius, enabling you to query balances, blocks, transactions, accounts, tokens, NFTs, and various blockchain metrics through a standardized, self-contained server you run locally or remotely. It streamlines how Claude interacts with Solana by exposing a rich set of tools that map to common blockchain operations.

How to use

You will connect Claude to the MCP server and then ask questions that map to the exposed tools. For example, you can request a wallet’s balance, retrieve the latest block information, or search for NFT ownership. Claude will forward your requests to the MCP server, which in turn queries Solana via the Helius API and returns structured results.

How to install

Prerequisites you need to have installed on your system include Node.js (v16 or higher) and an API key from Helius. You will also configure Claude Desktop to point to the MCP server once you have it running.

Step by step commands to set up and run the MCP server locally are provided below.

# Prerequisites
node --version
# If you need to install Node.js, obtain it from the official source for your OS (Node.js 16+).

# Install dependencies
npm ci

# Build the project
npm run build

# Run locally (with your Helius API key)
HELIUS_API_KEY=your-helius-api-key node build/index.js

# Alternative: run via npx (directly from package)
HELIUS_API_KEY=your-helius-api-key npx @dcspark/mcp-server-helius

Configuration and usage notes

Configure Claude Desktop to use this MCP server by enabling it in the MCP server configuration. You can run the server locally or point Claude to a remote runtime if desired.

Environment variables you may set include the API key required to access the Helius service.
