setup-mcp

The setup-mcp command guides users through configuring MCP server API keys in the project's .env file. It verifies or creates the .env file, prompts for three optional credentials (Helius RPC API, Colosseum Copilot PAT, and Mistral API key), writes provided values to .env while skipping omitted ones, and displays a summary of configured versus skipped keys. Use this command when initially setting up the Solana AI Kit or when adding MCP integrations that require external API authentication.

Definition

setup-mcp.md

You are guiding the user through MCP API key setup. All secrets go in `.env` (never in `mcp.json`).

## Step 1: Ensure .env exists

Check if `.env` exists in the project root. If not, copy from `.env.example`:

```bash
if [ ! -f ".env" ] && [ -f ".env.example" ]; then
  cp .env.example .env
  echo "Created .env from .env.example"
elif [ ! -f ".env" ]; then
  touch .env
  echo "Created empty .env"
else
  echo "Found existing .env"
fi
```

## Step 2: Configure secrets

For each key below, ask the user to paste a value or say "skip":

1. **HELIUS_API_KEY** — Helius RPC + DAS API (get one at https://dev.helius.xyz)
2. **COLOSSEUM_COPILOT_PAT** — Colosseum Copilot for startup research (optional, get at https://arena.colosseum.org/copilot)
3. **MISTRAL_API_KEY** — QEDGen formal verification (optional, get at https://console.mistral.ai)

For each value provided, write or update the line in `.env`. Skip means leave it empty.

**Note — Surfpool MCP is keyless** (no `.env` entry), but its server (`surfpool mcp`) requires the `surfpool` CLI binary on PATH. Install is the user's responsibility — do not run it for them: `curl -L https://surfpool.run/install | sh` or `brew install txtx/taps/surfpool`. Verify with `command -v surfpool`.

## Step 3: Summary

Print which keys are configured vs skipped:

```
MCP secrets (.env):
  HELIUS_API_KEY        [configured / skipped]
  COLOSSEUM_COPILOT_PAT [configured / skipped]
  MISTRAL_API_KEY       [configured / skipped]
```
