revert.wtf MCP Server Skill#

Use this skill when changing packages/mcp, testing MCP behavior, documenting agent integration, or helping an agent consume revert.wtf data through MCP.

Product Intent#

• The MCP server is open source and free.
• It is for agents that encounter an EVM/RPC/provider/wallet/AA/x402 error and need catalog-backed help instead of broad internet searching.
• It is read-only. Do not add signing, sending transactions, payment gating, chain calls, browser scraping, or provider fetches to MCP behavior.
• It must never require clients to download the full catalog for simple lookup/search. Search tools return bounded summaries; full entries are fetched by id.

Current Tools#

• explain_error
• decode_revert_data
• search_catalog
• get_error
• catalog_stats
• list_sources
• lookup_selector
• explain_aa_error
• get_blockscout_chain
• search_blockscout_chains

Current Resources#

• revertwtf://catalog/stats
• revertwtf://catalog/sources
• revertwtf://catalog/errors/{id}
• revertwtf://catalog/sources/{source}
• revertwtf://blockscout/chains/{chainId}

Implementation Rules#

• Reuse precise package subpaths when possible: @revertwtf/parser/explain, @revertwtf/parser/decode, @revertwtf/aa/explain, and selector/catalog APIs.
• Keep tool outputs JSON text for broad client compatibility.
• Keep resource payloads JSON with application/json.
• Keep input schemas explicit and small. Add limit/ offset to list/search tools and cap maximum result counts.
• search_catalog must return summary rows plus resource URIs, not full entries. Agents should call get_error only for a selected id.
• list_sources and search_blockscout_chains should stay paginated.
• Preserve clear errors for unknown ids, invalid selectors, or missing resource params.
• Update packages/mcp/README.md and docs/mcp-server.md when the tool/resource surface changes.

Tests And Checks#

Prefer in-memory MCP tests, not child-process stdio tests, because Windows local runs can hit spawn EPERM.

bash

pnpm --filter @revertwtf/mcp test
pnpm --filter @revertwtf/mcp build
node node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc -p packages/mcp/tsconfig.json --noEmit

If testing stdio startup manually:

bash

pnpm --filter @revertwtf/mcp build
pnpm --filter @revertwtf/mcp start

Do not leave a long-running MCP server process behind after smoke testing.
