Getting Started

The recommended path is Desktop first, then MCP. By the end, your agent can read an approved vault record and request your Solana wallet address without seeing a private key.

1. Install DCP Desktop

Download the current desktop build from the release page:

https://github.com/1lystore/dcp/releases/tag/v2.0.4

macOS note

The current macOS app is unsigned. After installing, run:

xattr -cr /Applications/DCP.app

Then right-click the app and choose Open.

2. Create and unlock your vault

1. Open DCP Desktop.
2. Create a vault.
3. Save the recovery phrase.
4. Create a Solana wallet.
5. Add a vault record such as identity.email.

3. CLI setup

The CLI is shipped by @dcprotocol/vault. Use it for scripting, automation, and terminal workflows.

npm install -g @dcprotocol/vault

dcp init
dcp create-wallet --chain solana
dcp add identity.email
dcp list

4. Connect a local MCP agent

Install the agent runtime, or use npx directly in your MCP config.

npm install -g @dcprotocol/agent

For Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, or another stdio MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@dcprotocol/agent", "run", "--mode", "mcp", "--agent", "agent_local_dev"]
    }
  }
}

If you installed the package globally, the shorter command is also valid:

{
  "command": "dcp-agent",
  "args": ["run", "--mode", "mcp", "--agent", "agent_local_dev"]
}

For OpenClaw local setup:

openclaw mcp set dcp '{"command":"npx","args":["-y","@dcprotocol/agent","run","--mode","mcp","--agent","agent_openclaw_local"]}'

5. Agent prompts

What is my email from DCP?
What is my Solana wallet address?
Send 0.00001 SOL to <address>
Send 1000 1LY to <address>

6. Remote VPS agents

For OpenClaw, Hermes, or another agent on a VPS, use Desktop to create a remote invite and run the generated command:

curl -fsSL https://dcpagent.com/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- 'dcp_vps_v1_...'

Use the remote agent guide if the agent does not see the DCP tools immediately.
