cd Agenticledger_MCP_TheTieCanton

1. Install dependencies:

npm install

1. Build the TypeScript code:

npm run build

1. Configure your MCP client:

Add to your MCP settings configuration (e.g., Claude Desktop config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thetie-canton": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/absolute/path/to/TheTieCantonMCP/dist/index.js"
      ]
    }
  }
}

1. Restart your MCP client to load the server.

Testing

Run Integration Tests

Integration tests verify all 12 tools work with real API credentials.

1. Create test credentials file:

cp test-credentials.example.json test-credentials.json

1. Add your API key to test-credentials.json:

{
  "accessToken": "your-actual-thetie-api-key"
}

1. Run the tests:

npm run test:integration

The test suite will:

• Test all 12 API endpoints
• Display real-time results
• Show request/response data
• Generate a summary report
• Save detailed results to test-results.json

Platform Integration Notes

Response Format

All tools return standardized responses:

{
  success: boolean;
  data?: any;      // Present if success is true
  error?: string;  // Present if success is false
}

Error Handling

The server handles common error scenarios:

• 401 Unauthorized: Invalid or expired API key
• 403 Forbidden: API key lacks permission for endpoint
• 404 Not Found: Requested resource doesn't exist
• 429 Rate Limited: Too many requests, retry later
• 500+ Server Errors: The Tie API issues

Rate Limiting

The Tie API enforces rate limits. The server:

• Returns clear error messages when rate limited
• Suggests waiting before retrying
• Respects HTTP 429 responses

Best Practices

1. Cache responses when data doesn't change frequently (e.g., historical leaderboards)
2. Use pagination (limit parameter) for large datasets
3. Implement retry logic with exponential backoff for transient failures
4. Monitor API usage to stay within rate limits

Troubleshooting

"Invalid or expired API key"

• Verify your API key is correct in test-credentials.json
• Contact The Tie support (api@thetie.io) if your key has expired
• Ensure you have access to Canton endpoints

"Rate limit exceeded"

• Wait before making additional requests
• Implement request throttling in your application
• Contact The Tie to discuss rate limit increases

"Resource not found"

• Verify date parameters are in correct format (YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM)
• Check that data exists for the requested time period
• Some historical data may have limited retention

Build Errors

# Clean and rebuild
rm -rf dist node_modules
npm install
npm run build
