Hekkova MCP Server

The permanent memory layer for AI agents. Connect any MCP-compatible AI (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, custom agents) and mint moments — photos, videos, audio, text — permanently to the Polygon blockchain with IPFS + Filecoin storage, Lit Protocol encryption, and privacy tiers that let you control who sees what.

Quick Start

# 1. Install dependencies
npm install

# 2. Copy and configure environment variables
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your Supabase, Thirdweb, Pinata, and Stripe credentials

# 3. Seed the local test account and API key
npm run seed

# 4. Start the development server
npm run dev
# → Server running at http://localhost:3000/mcp

list_moments	Paginated list of all minted moments. Filterable by phase, category, or search query.
get_moment	Full details for a single moment by Block ID: CIDs, transaction hash, phase, tags, and more.
update_phase	Change a moment's privacy phase. Costs 1 credit (text/image) or 2 credits (video). Legacy Plan includes 10 free Phase Shifts/month.
export_moments	Export all moments as JSON or CSV. Returns a 24-hour download URL with all Block IDs and IPFS CIDs.
get_balance	Check remaining mint credits, current plan (free / arc_builder / legacy), and phase shift balance.
get_account	Account identity: Light ID, display name, wallet address, default phase, and legacy plan status.

Plan	Requests/min	Mints/min
Sandbox (test keys)	10	1
Standard (any paid pack)	60	10
Legacy Plan	120	20

Rate limit headers are included on every response:

X-RateLimit-Limit: 60
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 58

Running Tests

# Make sure the server is running in another terminal
npm run dev

# Run the test client
npm run test-client

---

Deployment

Vercel (Serverless)

npm install -g vercel
vercel

Add a vercel.json:

{
  "builds": [{ "src": "src/server.ts", "use": "@vercel/node" }],
  "routes": [{ "src": "/(.*)", "dest": "src/server.ts" }]
}

Set all environment variables in the Vercel dashboard under Project → Settings → Environment Variables.

Railway

npm install -g @railway/cli
railway login
railway init
railway up

Set environment variables in the Railway dashboard. Railway will auto-detect the npm start script.

Fly.io

npm install -g flyctl
fly auth login
fly launch

Fly will generate a fly.toml. Set secrets with:

fly secrets set SUPABASE_URL=... SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY=... THIRDWEB_SECRET_KEY=...
fly deploy
