Recon Crypto MCP

Self-custodial DeFi for AI agents. The agent proposes, you approve on your Ledger - designed for the threat model where the agent, MCP, and host can all be compromised. Only the device is trusted; private keys never leave it. Its 16 documented tools cover transaction, solana, status, positions. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting finance tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Recon Crypto MCP

before you install - you'll need

VAULTPILOT_DEMO

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add szhygulin-recon-crypto-mcp -- npx -y recon-crypto-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "szhygulin-recon-crypto-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "recon-crypto-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use

npm package recon-crypto-mcp - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

registry namespace io.github.szhygulin is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

Prepare

2 tools - e.g. direct V3 swap, same-chain, auto-picks fee tier across 100/500/3000/10000 bps. Use only when the user names Uniswap; otherwise prefer LiFi; escape hatch for arbitrary verified-contract calls…

Compare

1 tool - e.g. rank lending APRs across Aave / Compound / Morpho / Marinade / Jito / Kamino-lend / MarginFi

Explain

1 tool - e.g. post-hoc decode of a historical tx

Request

1 tool - e.g. file a missing-feature GitHub issue. Default returns a pre-filled URL (no auto-submit); rate-limited 3/hour
