How do I install Animica?

Copy the stdio config for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code on this page. It uses the publisher's install, not a PlugMCP proxy.

Does Animica need an API key?

The publisher lists these environment variables: ANIMICA_API_KEY, ANIMICA_RPC_URL, ANIMICA_BASE_URL, ANIMICA_POOL_URL, ANIMICA_BEACON_URL, ANIMICA_MODEL, ANIMICA_MCP_TIMEOUT_S.

What transport does Animica use?

Animica runs locally over stdio.

Animica

by dev.animica

Animica chain data, free keyless AI inference, quantum randomness, x402 discovery, mining stats.

Power your agent

Add this server

The publisher's own command. Not a PlugMCP endpoint.

Local command

uvx animica-mcp==0.2.2

Credentials from the publisher

ANIMICA_API_KEY — Optional Animica API key (anm_live_...) for higher AI rate limits. The server works without it.
ANIMICA_RPC_URL — Animica node JSON-RPC endpoint (read-only allow-listed methods only).
ANIMICA_BASE_URL — OpenAI-compatible /v1 base URL used for AI inference (chat, models, embeddings). https://animica.dev/v1 is the free keyless endpoint.
ANIMICA_POOL_URL — Mining-pool stats API base URL.
ANIMICA_BEACON_URL — Quantum randomness beacon base URL (/beacon/* endpoints).
ANIMICA_MODEL — Default model id for the animica_ai_ask tool.
ANIMICA_MCP_TIMEOUT_S — HTTP timeout in seconds for backend calls. The network is volunteer-served, so allow generous time.
