# Run AGW as MCP

> Expose AGW CLI capabilities through the built-in MCP server.

AGW CLI ships with a built-in MCP server generated from the same command registry as the CLI.

## Start the MCP server

```bash theme={null}
agw-cli mcp serve --sanitize strict
```

## Generate config

```bash theme={null}
agw-cli mcp-config
agw-cli mcp-config --npx
```

Use the plain `mcp-config` output when `agw-cli` is already installed on the machine. Use `--npx` when you want an npx-based host configuration.

## Good host fits

* Claude Code
* Codex-compatible MCP hosts
* Gemini
* other MCP-capable local agent hosts

## What the MCP server exposes

The MCP server inherits the CLI command surface, including:

* wallet reads
* transaction preview and execution
* contract actions
* app discovery
* Portal queries

## Recommended setup

1. Complete [`Install and Authenticate`](/ai-agents/wallet-access/install-and-authenticate)
2. Start `agw-cli mcp serve --sanitize strict`
3. Paste the config snippet into your MCP host
4. Test a read-only command before enabling write workflows

## Write-safety model

* reads can run directly
* state-changing operations should be previewed first
* execution requires explicit `--execute`
