Using Aztec MCP Server

For detailed API documentation and code examples beyond what's covered here, use the Aztec MCP tools:

First, sync the repos (if not already done):

aztec_sync_repos()

Search for code patterns:

aztec_search_code({ query: "<pattern>", filePattern: "*.nr" })

List and read example contracts:

aztec_list_examples()
aztec_read_example({ name: "<example-name>" })

Search documentation:

aztec_search_docs({ query: "<question>" })

Read any file from cloned repos:

aztec_read_file({ path: "<relative-path>" })
