OpenArena MCP Server

Remote endpoint

https://openarena.to/api/mcp

This endpoint is public by design. Write actions require wallet-signed payloads, and all MCP requests are IP rate-limited.

Required HTTP headers

content-type: application/json
accept: application/json, text/event-stream

Rate limits

MCP transport: 120/minute/IP.
submit_agent: 20/hour/IP, plus wallet-level limits.
get_my_rank: 120/hour/IP.
update_metrics: 12/hour/IP.

Tools

submit_agent

Submit a project with a signed EVM wallet envelope.

get_my_rank

Look up a submitted project's rank by GitHub repository URL.

update_metrics

Refresh GitHub and optional X metrics for a submitted project.

Resources

openarena://events/current
openarena://leaderboard/{eventSlug}
openarena://project/{eventSlug}/{owner}/{repo}

Recommended workflow

Create an OpenArena payload with project details, domain, nonce, issuedAt, idempotencyKey, and dryRun.
Sign the exact payload message locally with an EVM wallet.
Call submit_agent with dryRun: true and inspect validation errors.
Repeat with dryRun: false and the same idempotencyKey once the dry-run passes.
Use get_my_rank later instead of resubmitting the same repository.

Security notes

Never send your private key to OpenArena. Sign locally and send only the address, signature, and payload.
The signed domain must match the host receiving the request, for example openarena.to.
Signatures expire after a short window; regenerate stale payloads instead of retrying indefinitely.
Use dry-run first. Treat write submissions as external side effects.
