Beyond MCP Server

An extensible Model Context Protocol server that provides standardized access to social platform data and onchain data. Currently supports Farcaster (via Neynar API) with placeholder for Twitter integration. More platforms like Telegram including onchain data will be added soon.

Features

• MCP Compliant: Fully implements the Model Context Protocol specification
• Multi-Platform: Designed to support multiple social media platforms
• Extensible: Easy to add new platform providers
• Well-Formatted: Optimized context formatting for LLM consumption
• Flexible Transport: Supports both stdio and SSE/HTTP transports

Supported Platforms

• Farcaster: Full implementation via Neynar API
• Twitter: Placeholder (not implemented)

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js 16+
• Neynar API key (for Farcaster access) https://neynar.com/

Installation

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/beyond-mcp-server.git
cd beyond-mcp-server

2. Install dependencies

npm install

3. Create a .env file from the template

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your API keys

4. Configure your environment variables

   • Required: Set NEYNAR_API_KEY in your .env file
   • You can obtain a Neynar API key from https://neynar.com/
   • Without a valid API key, Farcaster functionality will not work

5. Build and start the server

npm run build
npm start  # For stdio mode (default)
# OR
npm run start:http  # For HTTP/SSE mode

Using with Claude for Desktop

1. Build the server

npm run build

2. Make sure your .env file is properly configured with your API keys

   • The server will look for .env in the following locations:
     • Current working directory
     • Project root directory
     • Parent directories (up to 3 levels)
   • You can also set environment variables directly in your system

3. Add the server to your Claude Desktop configuration at:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "beyond-social": {
      "command": "/usr/local/bin/node",
      "args": [
        "/full/path/to/beyond-mcp-server/dist/index.js",
        "--stdio"
      ]
    }
  }
}

4. Alternatively, you can pass the API key and other environment variables directly in the Claude Desktop configuration (recommended):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "beyond-social": {
      "command": "/usr/local/bin/node",
      "args": [
        "/full/path/to/beyond-mcp-server/dist/index.js",
        "--stdio"
      ],
      "env": {
        "NEYNAR_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE",
        "ENABLE_FARCASTER": "true",
        "ENABLE_TWITTER": "false"
      }
    }
  }
}

5. Restart Claude for Desktop
