This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add phantom-mcp-server -- npx -y @phantomid/mcp-server
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: PHANTOM_API_URL (PHANTOM API base URL (default https://pay.idphantom.com)), PHANTOM_API_KEY (PHANTOM API key for the agent account (create via POST /v1/register — self-serve, $2 USDC on Base)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Phantom MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Phantom MCP Server?
Phantom MCP Server runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @phantomid/mcp-server was installed 373 times last week.
How do I connect Phantom MCP Server?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @phantomid/mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Phantom MCP Server?
The npm package @phantomid/mcp-server was installed 373 times in the last week. Week over week that is -74%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Phantom MCP Server open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
