Question 1

What is Indigo Protocol MCP?

Accepted Answer

# Indigo MCP

MCP server for [Indigo Protocol](https://indigoprotocol.io/) — exposes Indigo iAsset data, prices, and CDP/loan analytics to LLM agents via the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/).

## Features

- Real-time iAsset prices (iUSD, iBTC, iETH, iSOL)
- ADA and INDY token price feeds
- CDP/loan browsing with pagination and filtering
- Owner lookup by payment key hash or bech32 address
- CDP health analysis with collateral ratio and liquidation risk status
- Stability pool state and account queries
- INDY staking positions and manager state
- Protocol analytics: TVL, APR rewards, DEX yields, aggregated stats
- Governance: protocol parameters, polls, temperature checks
- Redemption order book and queue aggregation
- DEX proxy: Steelswap swaps, Iris liquidity pools, Blockfrost balances
- CDP liquidation, redemption, freeze, and merge operations
- Leveraged CDP opening via LRP positions
- LRP (Limit Redemption Protocol) position management
- Oracle interest rate feeding and initialization
- Stability pool request processing and cancellation
- Staking reward distribution
- Collector UTXOs, IPFS storage and retrieval

## Quick Start

Install globally:

```bash
npm install -g @indigoprotocol/indigo-mcp
```

Or run directly with npx (no install needed):

```bash
npx @indigoprotocol/indigo-mcp
```

### Docker

```bash
docker build -t indigo-mcp .
docker run -i indigo-mcp
```

### HTTP Transport (Remote)

The server supports HTTP transport for remote/hosted deployments:

```bash
MCP_TRANSPORT=http PORT=3000 npx @indigoprotocol/indigo-mcp
```

This starts an HTTP server with:
- `POST /mcp` — MCP endpoint (Streamable HTTP with SSE)
- `GET /health` — Health check

## Configuration

> **Note:** `BLOCKFROST_API_KEY` is required for write operations (transaction building). Read-only tools work without it. Get a free key at [blockfrost.io](https://blockfrost.io/).

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "indigo": {
      "command": "npx",

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "indigo": {
      "command": "npx",

        "BLOCKFROST_API_KEY": "your-blockfrost-project-id"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Any MCP-Compatible Client

Run the server directly via stdio:

```bash
INDEXER_URL=https://analytics.indigoprotocol.io/api/v1 \
BLOCKFROST_API_KEY=your-blockfrost-project-id \
npx @indigoprotocol/indigo-mcp
```

Or install globally and reference the binary:

```bash
npm install -g @indigoprotocol/indigo-mcp
indigo-mcp
```

For any client that supports MCP over stdio, point it to the `npx @indigoprotocol/indigo-mcp` command with the environment variables above.

## Environment Variables

- `INDEXER_URL` — Indigo analytics API base URL (default: `https://analytics.indigoprotocol.io/api/v1`)
- `BLOCKFROST_API_KEY` — Blockfrost project ID for transaction building (required for write ops)
- `CARDANO_NETWORK` — Cardano network: `mainnet`, `preprod`, or `preview` (default: `mainnet`)
- `MCP_TRANSPORT` — Transport mode: `stdio` or `http` (default: `stdio`)
- `PORT` — HTTP server port when `MCP_TRANSPORT=http` (default: `3000`)

## Example Queries

When connected to an LLM agent, you can ask natural language questions like:

- "What are the current prices of all Indigo iAssets?"
- "What is the price of iUSD right now?"
- "How much is ADA worth in USD?"
- "Show me all iETH CDPs"
- "What CDPs does this address own?" (paste a Cardano address)
- "Analyze the health of my CDPs" (with your address or payment key hash)
- "Are any of my positions at risk of liquidation?"
- "Show me the current stability pool state"
- "What are my stability pool deposits?" (with your address)
- "How much INDY am I staking?" (with your address)
- "What's the current TVL of Indigo?"
- "What APR can I earn on iUSD stability pool?"
- "What are the current governance protocol parameters?"
- "Show me the iUSD redemption queue"
- "Get a Steelswap estimate for swapping 100 ADA to iUSD"
