Prerequisites

Before installing the hts MCP server, ensure you have Node.js installed on your machine since it is required for running the server.

Option A: Quick Start with npx

You can quickly start using the hts MCP server without installing it globally by running:

npx -y hedera-dev/hts-mcp-server  

Option B: Global Install Alternative

If you prefer a global installation, you can clone the repository and install it manually:

git clone https://github.com/hedera-dev/hts-mcp-server  
cd hts-mcp-server

For optimal performance, consider configuring environment variables for API keys and network settings to enhance security and flexibility. Additionally, be aware that the server may require specific permissions for certain operations, so ensure your Hedera account has the necessary roles assigned. Common issues include network connectivity problems, so verify your connection to the Hedera network if you encounter errors.
