Etherlink Skill
Interact with Etherlink, an EVM-compatible L2 built on Tezos.
Quick Start
1. Configure MCP Server
Add to your Claude/MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"etherlink": {
"command": "bun",
"args": ["run", "/path/to/etherlink-mcp-server/src/index.ts"],
"env": {
"EVM_PRIVATE_KEY": "your-private-key-here"
}
}
}
}
2. Select Network
Use network name or chain ID:
- Mainnet:
etherlink or 42793
- Testnet:
etherlink-shadownet or 127823
Networks
Native Currency: XTZ (18 decimals)
Common Operations
Check Balance
Get balance for 0x... on etherlink
Send Transaction
Send 0.1 XTZ to 0x... on etherlink
Read Contract

Etherlink-Specific Notes
Key Characteristics
- Native Currency: XTZ (Tez)
- EIP-1559: Supported - uses
max_fee_per_gas. Priority fees are ignored (sequencer uses first-come-first-served).
- WebSockets: Supported on self-hosted nodes with
--ws flag
- Rate Limits: Public RPC limited to 1000 req/min
Fee Structure
- Execution fee: Varies with network throughput (minimum 1 gwei)
- Inclusion fee: Covers data availability on Tezos L1
No tips/priority fees needed - sequencer orders transactions first-come-first-served.
Tezos L1 Bridge
Etherlink bridges to Tezos L1 for deposits/withdrawals. Bridge operations require Tezos tooling. See Etherlink Docs for details.
Testnet Faucet
Get testnet XTZ: https://shadownet.faucet.etherlink.com
Troubleshooting
"Unsupported network": Use correct network name (etherlink, etherlink-shadownet) or chain ID.
Rate limited: Public RPC has 1000 req/min limit. For production, run your own node.
