The ZetaChain CLI can be used as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, allowing AI assistants like Claude Code and Cursor to execute ZetaChain commands.
Local Installation (Recommended)
Install locally for full access to your filesystem, accounts, and localnet:
npm install -g zetachain
zetachain mcp install --client claude # for Claude Code
# or
zetachain mcp install --client cursor # for CursorThen restart your AI editor to activate the MCP server.
Check installation status: ``bash zetachain mcp list ``
Remove: ``bash zetachain mcp remove --client claude ``
Cloud Installation (Smithery)
For quick setup without local installation, visit Smithery and click "One-Click Install".
⚠️ Note: The cloud version runs on remote servers and cannot access your local files, accounts, or localnet.
