Install

How do I install the CTRL MCP server?

CTRL is a hosted endpoint at https://www.ctrl.build/api/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 7 exposed · ~904 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
ctrl_activate ~92

Return an EIP-5792 transactions[] batch the user signs ONCE to deploy their vault + register spending rules. After signing, the keeper runs the workflow autonomously per the on-chain caps.

NameTypeReqDescription
depositEthstring
expiryDaysnumber
maxPerDayEthstring
maxPerSwapEthstring
workflowIdstringyes

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

ctrl_create_workflow ~413

Create a CTRL workflow draft. ONE trigger + an ordered chain of up to 20 actions/conditions/utilities. Returns { workflowId, activateUrl }. Pass `targetChain` to pick which chain the workflow runs on — "base" (default, launchpads + Aerodrome + UniV4) or "ethereum" (UniV3 only, no launchpads, no clanker/zora). CRITICAL: call ctrl_get_block_catalog FIRST (with the same `chain` value) to discover field names — every key in trigger.config and chain[].config must exactly match catalog fields[].key. Populate EVERY field the user expressed intent for. For pool.created (Token Launch, Base-only) set launchpad (e.g. ["bankr"]), keywordIncludes ("ai,agent,claw"), keywordMatchMode "any", keywordCategories (["ai_agents"]), safetyEnabled true, safetyRejectHoneypot true, safetyMinScore 50. For cypher.swap set tokenIn ("ETH"), tokenOut ("{{trigger.tokenAddress}}"), tokenOutMode "dynamic", amount (ETH units, e.g. 0.005 — ASK USER if not specified), slippage (15 for snipes), and autoSell* if user wants an exit (autoSellEnabled true, autoSellMode "multiple", autoSellMultiplier 2, autoSellPercent 100, autoSellReceiveToken "USDC"). For notify.telegram set message with {{token}}/{{amount}}/{{txHash}} placeholders. Interview the user for missing critical fields (amount, exit strategy, keywords) — do not silently default.

NameTypeReqDescription

No examples provided.

ctrl_fire_manual ~44

Manually fire a workflow once. Keeper picks up within ~5s. Use to test a workflow without waiting for its natural trigger.

NameTypeReqDescription
workflowIdstringyes

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

ctrl_get_block_catalog ~129

Return the live catalog of every CTRL workflow block with id, label, description, and config-field schemas. Call this before ctrl_create_workflow when unsure of a block's config shape. Pass `chain` to filter to blocks that are compatible with the target chain (Base = launchpads + Aerodrome + UniV4; Ethereum = no launchpads, V3 only). Default is "base".

NameTypeReqDescription
categorystringOptional. Filter to a single block bucket.
chainstringOptional. Filter the catalog to blocks compatible with this chain. Default: "base".

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

ctrl_get_execution_logs ~55

Read recent workflow executions: trigger, status, BaseScan tx hash, gas, timing. Without workflowId returns the user's most recent across all workflows.

NameTypeReqDescription
limitnumber
workflowIdstring

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

ctrl_get_vault_status ~46

Read the user's CTRL vault address, ETH + WETH balance, and active rules. Call this BEFORE ctrl_activate so you can tell the user how much they need to fund.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

ctrl_withdraw ~125

Return an EIP-5792 batch the user signs to withdraw funds from their CTRL vault back to their wallet. The agent never signs. token defaults to ETH; pass WETH or a 0x token address for other assets; omit amount to withdraw the full balance.

NameTypeReqDescription
amountstringDecimal amount, e.g. '0.05'. Omit for full balance.
tokenstring'ETH' (default), 'WETH', or a 0x token address.
walletstringyesVault owner address (0x…).

No output schema declared.

Common questions

What is the CTRL MCP server?

CTRL is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.CTRLabs/ctrl-mcp. Visual DeFi workflow automation on Base + Ethereum mainnet. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://www.ctrl.build/api/mcp).

Is the CTRL MCP server safe to use?

CTRL scores 25 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the CTRL MCP server expose?

CTRL exposes 7 tools: ctrl_get_vault_status, ctrl_get_block_catalog, ctrl_create_workflow, ctrl_activate, ctrl_withdraw, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 904 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the CTRL MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to CTRL without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the CTRL MCP server still maintained?

CTRL is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 21 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
