The MCP blog
Engineering notes on the Model Context Protocol, Solana indexing, and AI-agent workflows. 247B+ rows indexed, sub-50ms p95, written for the devs building Solana-aware agents.
MCP explained: giving AI agents real-time Solana data
The Model Context Protocol is the USB-C port of AI agents. Here is what it actually is, why Solana on-chain data is the killer context source, and how techkern exposes 247B+ indexed Solana rows to any Claude / ChatGPT / Cursor instance with one config line.
Solana memecoin DD in one prompt: how MCP changes the workflow
Pre-trade due diligence on a Solana memecoin used to mean five tabs and twenty minutes. With techkern MCP installed, the same workflow is one paragraph to Claude. Here is the exact prompt, the tools it triggers, and the structured DD report it produces.
Installing Solana MCP in Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Cline (5 min)
Step-by-step config for getting the techkern Solana MCP server running in every major MCP-aware client — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue, Zed, and the OpenAI Agents SDK. With copy-pasteable JSON and the gotchas we have hit.
Tracking pump.fun launches from your AI agent in real time
pump.fun produces 10K-50K new mints a day. Wiring an agent to its launch feed via the techkern MCP server gives you fresh-mint filtering, sniper-screen, and KOL-cross-reference in one prompt — zero indexer infra. Here is the architecture.
KOL wallet tracking with Claude: 7 prompt recipes
Tracking Solana KOL wallets via the techkern MCP server replaces a $99/mo Cielo subscription, a custom Helius webhook, and a Discord-bot tax with one prompt. Seven copy-pasteable recipes that turn a Claude conversation into a working alpha radar.
MCP vs Helius REST: why Solana agents need the protocol
Helius and Bitquery already expose Solana data over REST and GraphQL. MCP looks at first glance like one more way to do the same thing. It is not. Here is the structural difference and why every Solana AI-agent integration converges on MCP within a release cycle.
Building autonomous Solana trading agents with on-chain MCP context
A full architecture for a deployable Solana trading agent — Claude or GPT in the loop, techkern MCP for signal, an execution layer that the model never directly touches. Plus the guardrails that keep it from torching capital.
