Verify NFT metadata in Claude Desktop

`validate_nft_metadata` checks your Cardano NFT metadata schema locally before you push it to NMKR Studio. Claude Desktop handles the `validate_nft_metadata` verification process directly in your chat interface, showing you formatting errors instantly. You avoid costly NMKR minting mistakes by catching bad Cardano JSON structures early. Your Claude Desktop agent can run this tool as a local background subprocess to confirm everything complies with Cardano standards before you spend ADA on deployment.

Track project metrics with this MCP Server

`get_project_counts` pulls live Cardano asset metrics and counts for any NMKR project directly into your Claude Desktop window. The MCP Server communicates with the NMKR Studio API to show you exactly how many NFTs have minted or remain in your active queue. Instead of switching tabs to check your NMKR dashboard, you ask your Claude Desktop agent to pull the numbers. You get real-time tracking of your Cardano token supply and mint progress during live launches.

Manage revenue splits and payout wallets

`list_split_addresses` retrieves your configured Cardano revenue distribution setups so you can verify where funds go. Claude Desktop displays these NMKR addresses alongside `list_payout_wallets` to keep your finance operations transparent. You don't have to copy-paste Cardano wallet strings between the browser and your Claude Desktop terminal. Your agent lists every registered NMKR payout location and checks `list_vesting_addresses` to ensure your Cardano staking setups match your project roadmap.
