@three-ws/solana-memo-media-mcp

Read and display image data URIs embedded in Solana SPL Memo instructions. Instead of copying a data:image/...;base64,... memo payload into a browser converter, give an AI assistant the transaction signature and receive the validated image inline.

This is a keyless, read-only stdio MCP server. It never signs, sends, uploads, caches, or modifies chain data.

Install

claude mcp add solana-memo-media -- npx -y @three-ws/solana-memo-media-mcp

For Cursor, Claude Desktop, or another stdio MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "solana-memo-media": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@three-ws/solana-memo-media-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Tools

Recognized memo programs: SPL Memo v1 (Memo1UhkJRfHyvLMcVLMbLJYfW2tfU8G8H4PqvV6v8), SPL Memo v2 (MemoSq4gqABAXKb96qnH8TysNcWxMyWCqXgDLGmfcHr), and the newer program carried by version 1 transactions (Memo4c2pN8afCj432Lb7RMVKi9PbQnnW7ewFFaV3oAH).

Example

Ask an MCP client: "Show any image embedded in Solana transaction <signature>." It calls extract_solana_memo_media with:

{ "signature": "<base58 Solana transaction signature>" }

The response is a JSON record plus one MCP image content block per asset. The record carries the signature, fee payer, slot, transaction version, and for each asset its MIME type, byte length, SHA-256, and dimensions. The raw data URI is intentionally not echoed into text output.

Use it from your own code:

import { decodeDataUri } from '@three-ws/solana-memo-media-mcp/src/lib/media.js';

const media = decodeDataUri('data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAYAAAAfFcSJAAAADUlEQVR42mP8z8BQDwAFgwJ/lwV8YQAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==');
console.log(media.mimeType, media.byteLength, media.dimensions, media.sha256);

Safety and provenance

An SPL Memo is arbitrary signed text. A data URI is only a convention inside that text, not a Solana media standard and not an endorsement by a wallet, explorer, or this package.

• Only image/png, image/jpeg, image/webp, and image/gif are accepted.
• SVG and all executable or document media are rejected.
• Decoded content is capped at 262,144 bytes.
• The declared MIME type must match PNG, JPEG, WebP, or GIF file signatures before an image is returned.
• The server reports a SHA-256 digest so callers can preserve an exact reference.
• Verify the transaction signer, program, and surrounding transaction context independently before trusting what an image means.

RPC configuration

The server tries SOLANA_RPC_URLS, then SOLANA_RPC_URL, then public Solana mainnet endpoints. You do not need a key for normal use.
