RustChain MCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI agents access to the RustChain Proof-of-Antiquity blockchain, BoTTube AI-native video platform, and Beacon agent-to-agent communication protocol. Its 38 documented tools cover rustchain, wallet, beacon, bottube.

People who work with rustchain, wallet and beacon and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.
