# mcp

Hekkova's MCP server mints photos, video, audio and text to Polygon and keeps them on IPFS. Useful when an agent should pin a moment for good instead of a local folder.

## What it does

Eight tools ship with the server. `mint_moment` takes a media file, encrypts it according to the chosen phase, pins it to IPFS and mints an ERC-721 on Polygon, handing back a Block ID. `mint_from_url` does the same for a public link and pulls og:title and og:image on its own. The rest — `list_moments`, `get_moment`, `update_phase`, `export_moments`, `get_balance`, `get_account` — cover browsing, privacy changes, JSON or CSV export and credit checks.

Privacy runs on four phases: `new_moon` is owner-only, `crescent` covers a close circle, `gibbous` opens to an extended group, `full_moon` is public. Lit Protocol handles encryption; `gibbous` access is token-gated through the Hekkova ERC-721, and the public phase carries no encryption at all. Shifting a phase costs one credit for text or images and two for video.

Running it locally means `npm install`, a `.env` file with Supabase, Thirdweb, Pinata and Stripe credentials, then `npm run seed` and `npm run dev` — the server answers on `http://localhost:3000/mcp`. Client configs point at that URL with an `Authorization` header carrying the key. No valid API key and no Supabase tables, and the tools will not answer: auth checks the key hash stored in `api_keys`. Rate limits depend on the plan, from 10 requests per minute on test keys up to 120 on Legacy.

## When to use it
- anchor a photo or clip on-chain instead of a cloud folder
- mint a tweet or post straight from its URL
- keep a moment visible to the owner alone
- dump every Block ID and IPFS CID into CSV
- see how many mints an account has left

## Example prompts
- Mint this clip in the `new_moon` phase and give me the Block ID
- Grab the image at that link and save it as a moment
- List every moment tagged `travel` and export them to CSV
