Why This One?

53 tools vs 10-15. Competitors like 0xdwong/sui-mcp cover basic operations. This server includes DeFi (Cetus, DeepBook), SuiNS, Move introspection, staking, validators, and full analytics.
GraphQL + JSON-RPC dual transport. Built on the official @mysten/sui v2.11 SDK with @mysten/suins for name service -- future-proofed for the GraphQL migration.
Tested end-to-end. 59 passing tests across devnet, testnet, and mainnet. Wallet creation, transfers, staking, DeFi queries, SuiNS resolution, and Move inspection all verified.

Token Shortcuts

Use symbol shortcuts instead of full coin type addresses:

Shortcut	Full Coin Type
`SUI`	`0x2::sui::SUI`
`USDC`	`0xdba34672e...::usdc::USDC`
`USDT`	`0xc060006111...::coin::COIN`
`WETH`	`0xaf8cd5edc1...::coin::COIN`
`DEEP`	`0xdeeb7a4662...::deep::DEEP`

Networks

Starts on devnet by default. Switch at any time with switch_network:

Network	RPC Endpoint
`mainnet`	`https://fullnode.mainnet.sui.io:443`
`testnet`	`https://fullnode.testnet.sui.io:443`
`devnet`	`https://fullnode.devnet.sui.io:443`
`localnet`	`http://127.0.0.1:9000`
