Get started with arcdot.

1. 1

   Create or import

   New key via create, or import one you already own. No npm install for IDE MCP.

   Open →

2. 2

   Fund it

   Send about 0.05 USDC on Arc (not other chains). Use /fund for QR and live balance.

   Open →

3. 3

   Connect your IDE

   Paste the local MCP proxy JSON. Paid unlocks settle automatically.

   Open →

1. Create or import a wallet

Pick one. Both save to ~/.arcdot/wallet.json on your machine. Back up create’s recovery key. Import runs in your own terminal — never paste a private key into chat or this site. More detail: Wallet help.

# A) new wallet (once)
npx --yes @arcdot/agent wallet create

# B) already have a key — local terminal only (never paste into chat)
npx --yes @arcdot/agent wallet import --key 0xYOUR_PRIVATE_KEY
# or: set ARCDOT_PRIVATE_KEY then
npx --yes @arcdot/agent wallet import --from-env

# check
npx --yes @arcdot/agent wallet status

2. Fund it

USDC on Arc

Paste the wallet address on /fund, send about 0.05 USDC on Arc, then refresh balance. Other networks will not credit this wallet. Skip if you imported an already-funded address.

3. Connect your IDE

Paste this into your IDE’s MCP settings (or see Connect IDE for a walkthrough). The proxy auto-pays from your local wallet — do not use the raw /api/mcp URL if you want auto-settle.
