Icon Linkforc-call mcp

The forc-call module provides MCP tools for interacting with deployed Fuel contracts, enabling AI assistants to call functions, inspect ABIs, transfer assets, and analyze execution traces.

Icon Linkforc-call mcp tools

Icon Linkcall_contract

Call functions on deployed Fuel contracts with full support for complex types and execution modes.

Parameters:

• contract_id (string) - Contract address to call
• abi (string) - Contract ABI (JSON string or URL)
• function (string) - Function name to call
• function_args (array) - Function arguments as encoded strings
• mode (string) - Execution mode: dry-run (default), simulate, or live
• node_url (string, optional) - Custom node URL
• signing_key (string, optional) - Private key for live transactions
• amount (number, optional) - Asset amount for payable functions
• asset_id (string, optional) - Asset ID for transfers (default: native asset)
• gas_price (number, optional) - Gas price setting
• verbosity (number, optional) - Output verbosity level (0-3)

Example:

{
  "tool": "call_contract",
  "parameters": {
    "contract_id": "0x1234567890abcdef...",
    "abi": "{\"functions\":[{\"name\":\"get_balance\",\"outputs\":[{\"type\":\"u64\"}]}]}",
    "function": "get_balance",
    "mode": "dry-run"
  }
}

Icon Linklist_contract_functions

List all callable functions in a contract's ABI with example usage commands.

Parameters:

• contract_id (string) - Contract address
• abi (string) - Contract ABI (JSON string or URL)

Example:

{
  "tool": "list_contract_functions", 
  "parameters": {
    "contract_id": "0x1234567890abcdef...",
    "abi": "https://api.fuel.network/contract-abi.json"
  }
}

Icon Linktransfer_assets

Transfer assets directly to addresses or contracts (live mode only).

Parameters:

• signing_key (string) - Private key for transaction signing
• recipient (string) - Recipient address or contract ID
• amount (number) - Transfer amount
• asset_id (string, optional) - Asset ID (default: native asset)
• node_url (string, optional) - Custom node URL
• verbosity (number, optional) - Output verbosity level

Example:

{
  "tool": "transfer_assets",
  "parameters": {
    "recipient": "0x5678901234abcdef...",
    "amount": 1000,
    "signing_key": "your-private-key"
  }
}

Icon Linkget_execution_trace

Generate human-readable execution traces from contract call results.

Parameters:

• trace_events (array) - Trace events from CallResponse
• total_gas (number) - Total gas used
• labels (object, optional) - Contract address to name mappings

Example:

{
  "tool": "get_execution_trace",
  "parameters": {
    "trace_events": [/* events from call result */],
    "total_gas": 50000,
    "labels": {
      "0x1234...": "MainContract",
      "0x5678...": "TokenContract"
    }
  }
}

Icon Linkforc-call mcp resources

The forc-call module provides comprehensive documentation resources accessible through the MCP protocol:

• Type Encoding Reference (forc-call://type-encoding-reference)
  • Complete guide for encoding Sway types for function arguments
  • See: type_encoding_reference.md
• Common Commands (forc-call://examples/common-commands)
  • Examples of typical usage patterns and tool invocations
  • See: common_commands.md
• Contract Samples (forc-call://examples/contract-samples)
  • Real contract examples with MCP tool commands
  • See: contract_samples.md

Icon LinkAccessing resources

Resources can be accessed through the MCP resources API:

1. Use list_resources to see all available resources
2. Use read_resource with the URIs above to access specific documentation
3. Resources are served by the MCP server at runtime for AI assistants

Icon LinkExecution Modes

The forc-call module supports three execution modes:

Icon Linkdry-run (default)

• Validates the transaction without executing
• Returns expected outputs without modifying state
• No signing key required
• Useful for testing and validation

Icon Linksimulate

• Executes the transaction in a simulated environment
• Shows state changes and gas usage
• No signing key required
• Provides detailed execution trace

Icon Linklive

• Executes the transaction on the blockchain
• Requires a signing key
• Modifies blockchain state permanently
• Returns transaction ID and receipts

Icon LinkType Encoding

When calling contract functions, arguments must be encoded according to their Sway types. Refer to the Type Encoding Reference resource for detailed information on encoding various types including:

• Basic types (bool, integers)
• Addresses and ContractId
• Arrays and vectors
• Strings
• Structs and enums
• Complex nested types

Icon LinkError Handling

The module provides detailed error messages for common issues:

• Invalid contract addresses
• ABI parsing errors
• Type encoding mismatches
• Network connectivity issues
• Insufficient funds or gas
• Function not found in ABI

Icon LinkBest Practices

1. Always use dry-run mode first to validate calls
2. Check function signatures with list_contract_functions before calling
3. Use the type encoding reference for complex arguments
4. Provide descriptive labels in execution traces for better readability
5. Handle errors gracefully and provide meaningful feedback
