| description | Connect CCPEDIA to Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client and start querying live Canton data with no signup or API key required. |
CCPEDIA serves its MCP endpoint at https://ccpedia.xyz/mcp. The URL is the same for every supported AI client, requires no authentication, and is ready to use the moment you add it to your config. Pick your tool below, follow the integration guide, and you'll have 78 live Canton tools available in your AI assistant in under two minutes.
After adding CCPEDIA to your client, it should report 78 tools available. You can confirm the endpoint is reachable and returning the full tool list from your terminal:
curl -s -X POST https://ccpedia.xyz/mcp \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}'A successful response contains roughly 78 entries in the tools array. If you see fewer, wait a moment and retry — the server may be mid-sync.
Once connected, ask any of these in your AI client. Tool routing happens automatically based on the tool descriptions — you do not need to name tools explicitly.
Routes to `get_current_versions`. The tool joins GitHub release tags with posts from the validator-announce mailing list to return the authoritative current version alongside any pending upgrade notices. Routes to `diagnose_error`. The tool parses the error string and searches Canton Forum threads and GitHub issues for prior fixes, workarounds, and related configuration changes. Routes to `search_community` and `detect_builder_overlap`. Surfaces existing proposals and active builders in that space so you can avoid duplicating work already in progress. Routes to `get_cip_implementation_status` and `detect_cip_dependency_chain`. Returns the full readiness graph: which dependencies are merged, which are pending, and which are still draft. Routes to `get_upcoming_operations`. Pulled from the SV calendar, which CCPEDIA refreshes every 12 hours, so you always see the latest scheduled operations window. The public endpoint allows **60 calls per 15 minutes per IP address**. If you hit the limit, your quota resets automatically after 15 minutes. For higher throughput, self-host CCPEDIA from the [Apache 2.0 source](https://github.com/UnityNodes/ccpedia) and remove the limit entirely.If you prefer a guided flow with auto-detect and one-click copy buttons, open the interactive wizard at ccpedia.xyz/for-ai. It detects your client, generates the correct config snippet, and walks you through pasting it in.
