Requesting Feedback 💎 <> XDC's Agentic Payments Infrastructure with Tracey

Introducing MCP Tracey: AI Assistants Meet XDC Blockchain - We Need Your Feedback!

TL;DR

We've built MCP Tracey, a bridge that connects AI assistants (like Claude, ChatGPT) directly to the XDC Network. Imagine asking your AI assistant to "check my XDC balance," "send 10 XDC to this address," or "show me my token portfolio" - and it actually does it, securely and seamlessly. We're seeking community feedback before a wider release.

🌟 What is MCP Tracey?

MCP Tracey is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI assistants native capabilities to interact with the XDC blockchain. Built on Anthropic's MCP standard, it transforms AI assistants from simple chatbots into powerful blockchain tools that can:

• Query wallet balances and transaction histories
• Check real-time XDC prices and gas fees
• Monitor transaction status on the network
• Transfer XDC tokens securely (with MetaMask signing)
• Analyze complete token portfolios
• Access DEX price data across XDC exchanges

Think of it as giving your AI assistant a direct phone line to the XDC Network - but with enterprise-grade security and user control.

🎯 Why This Matters for XDC

1. Developer Experience Revolution

Instead of writing custom scripts or using multiple tools, developers can simply ask:

"What's the gas fee for deploying a contract on XDC right now?"
"Show me the last 10 transactions for xdc123...abc"
"Transfer 50 XDC to the treasury wallet"

The AI handles the RPC calls, formats the data, and even helps debug issues.

2. Lowering the Barrier to Entry

New developers don't need to memorize Web3.js commands or ethers.js syntax. Natural language becomes the interface. This could dramatically accelerate XDC adoption among developers new to blockchain.

3. 24/7 Blockchain Assistant

Imagine having an AI assistant that:

• Monitors your wallet and alerts you to unusual activity
• Helps you understand gas optimization strategies
• Explains transaction failures in plain English
• Suggests optimal transaction times based on network congestion

4. Enterprise Integration Potential

Companies can integrate XDC blockchain capabilities into their existing AI workflows without building custom infrastructure from scratch.

🔧 Technical Architecture

Core Components

17 Blockchain Tools organized into three categories:

🔓 Public Tools (No Auth Required)

• Network information and statistics

• XDC price feeds (multi-currency)
• Gas fee calculations
• DEX price comparisons
• Smart contract templates

🔐 Authenticated Tools

• Secure XDC transfers via JWT + MetaMask
• Transfer history tracking
• Wallet connection management
• Token validation and debugging

⚡ Flexible Tools

• Balance checking (public or authenticated)
• Transaction history (public or authenticated)
• Token portfolio analysis (public or authenticated)

Key Security Features:

• ✅ Zero private key storage - all signing happens client-side in MetaMask
• ✅ JWT authentication - time-limited tokens verify user identity
• ✅ Session isolation - concurrent users can't interfere with each other
• ✅ Client-side transaction approval - users must explicitly approve every transfer in MetaMask
• ✅ Audit trail - optional Supabase integration tracks transfer requests

💡 Real-World Use Cases

For Developers

User: "Check if my transaction 0xabc...123 succeeded"
AI: Queries XDC Network → Returns status, gas used, block number, explorer link

For DeFi Users

User: "What's the price of WXDC on different DEXs?"
AI: Compares prices across XDC exchanges → Highlights best rates

For Portfolio Management

User: "Show me my complete token holdings"
AI: Scans wallet → Returns XDC balance + all XRC20 tokens with values

For Treasury Operations

User: "Transfer 100 XDC to the development fund wallet"
AI: Creates transfer request → Opens MetaMask for signature → Confirms on-chain

🚧 What We Need From You

Current Status: ✅ Fully functional with 17 tools, SSE transport, JWT auth, MetaMask integration, and multi-client support

Key Feedback Areas

1. Feature Priorities - Contract deployment? Token swaps? NFT support? Multi-chain?

2. Developer Experience - Is the auth flow intuitive? Need more docs?

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this production-ready?

A: It's functionally complete and secure, but we're seeking community validation before recommending production use for critical operations.

Q: Does this replace web3.js or ethers.js?

A: No! It's a complementary tool that makes blockchain interactions more accessible via AI. Developers will still use traditional libraries for complex applications.

Q: Can I self-host this?

A: Absolutely. The entire system is designed to run on your own infrastructure. No vendor lock-in.

Q: What about privacy?

A: The server never sees your private keys. All transaction signing happens in your MetaMask. We can make the authentication system even more private based on feedback.

Q: Is there a cost?

A: The open-source version is free forever. If there's demand, we may offer a hosted version with support, but self-hosting will always be an option.

Q: How does this compare to existing blockchain chatbots?

A: Most chatbots just answer questions. MCP Tracey actually executes blockchain operations through a standardized protocol that any AI assistant can use.

Q: What if MCP protocol changes?

A: We're committed to maintaining compatibility. The MCP standard is backed by Anthropic and designed for stability.

Q: What countries is this available in?

A: Tracey MCP is available globally in all countries. As a decentralized blockchain tool, there are no geographic restrictions - anyone with internet access can connect and use it.

🙏 Why Your Feedback Matters

This started as an experiment: Can we make blockchain development as simple as having a conversation? The answer is yes - but how we build it depends on you.

Your feedback determines:

• Whether this solves real problems or just seems clever
• Which features drive adoption vs. nice-to-haves
• How to balance innovation with security
• Where to invest development time

This is a community project - we're building WITH you.

🚀 Next Steps

1. Try it - Connect your AI assistant in 30 seconds
2. Share feedback - Comment below or join feedback channels
3. Spread the word - Tell other XDC developers
4. Contribute - PRs welcome!

📝 Final Thoughts

AI + Blockchain could be transformative - but only if we get it right. MCP Tracey is our contribution to this intersection for XDC, but it's incomplete without your input.

Challenge us constructively:

• Where are the security holes?
• What features are missing?
• What problems should this solve?

Let's build something genuinely useful together.
