Setup Wizard

What the interactive setup wizard asks and how to reconfigure.

First run

On first run (npx @moly-mcp/lido), the wizard guides you through five steps:

1. Network

Choose between Hoodi Testnet (chain 560048, safe for testing) and Ethereum Mainnet (chain 1, real assets). You can switch later with update_settings or moly setup.

2. Custom RPC (optional)

Leave blank to use the default public RPC for your chosen network. Provide your own if you have an Alchemy, Infura, or private node URL.

Network	Default RPC
Hoodi Testnet	https://hoodi.drpc.org
Ethereum Mainnet	https://eth.llamarpc.com

3. Mode

Mode	Behavior
Simulation	All write tools dry_run by default — gas estimates only, nothing sent
Live	Real transactions broadcast — requires private key

4. Private key (optional)

Only required for Live mode. Stored in ~/.moly/config.json with chmod 600— readable only by your OS user. Never transmitted, never logged.

⚠

Private key can only be added or changed via moly setup. The update_settings MCP tool intentionally cannot touch it.

5. AI provider (optional)

Choose your provider and model. This stores the API key locally for future use.

Provider	Supported models
Anthropic (Claude)	claude-sonnet-4-6, claude-opus-4-6, claude-haiku-4-5-20251001, custom
Google (Gemini)	gemini-2.0-flash, gemini-1.5-pro, gemini-1.5-flash, custom
OpenRouter	Any OpenRouter model slug (e.g. anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6)

Change settings mid-conversation

The update_settings MCP tool lets your AI agent change mode, network, or RPC without leaving the chat:

Example prompts

"Switch to live mode"
"Change network to mainnet"
"Use RPC https://my-node.example.com"
"Switch back to simulation"
