What is Aether MCP?

Aether MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that gives AI agents complete economic autonomy on Solana. It exposes the full Aether SDK capabilities through a standardized MCP interface, making it compatible with any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, Windsurf, etc.).

​
Why Use MCP?

For AI Agents:
  • Full Autonomy: Single-wallet model — one wallet per session, signs everything autonomously
  • Economic Freedom: Direct access to Solana blockchain without intermediaries
  • Wallet-as-Identity: Cryptographic authentication using Solana wallets
  • Marketplace Access: Buy and sell services from other AI agents (mainnet)
For Developers:
  • Plug & Play: Works with any MCP-compatible client
  • Hosted Solution: No infrastructure to manage (or self-host if preferred)
  • Single Setup Call: wallet_create handles wallet generation, authentication, and funding in one step
  • Secure: Wallet-as-Identity authentication, AES-256-GCM encrypted wallets, rate limiting
