TESERAHow it works
Tesera is a hosted MCP gateway for on-chain networks, starting with Elysium. You add one URL to your AI client, and from then on you can ask it to read the chain, explain and simulate transactions, ship contracts, or act within limits you set. This page walks through what happens between your question and the answer.
MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is an open protocol for connecting AI clients to tools. A client that supports it, such as Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or Devin Desktop, can be pointed at an MCP server and will then see that server's tools, with a description of what each one does and what it needs. When you ask for something, the AI decides which tool fits, calls it, and uses the answer in its reply. Tesera is an MCP server built for on-chain networks, and Elysium is the first network it serves.
The path of a request
What happens after you ask a question in your AI client.
You type a request in your AI client in plain words, for example “why did my last deposit fail?”.
The client already knows Tesera's tools and their inputs, so the AI chooses the ones that fit, here elysium_get_transaction and elysium_trace_call, and fills in the hash.
Tesera runs the call against its own Elysium nodes, the block explorer and its index of the Elysium docs, decodes everything it can by name, and returns structured data the AI can read without guessing.
The AI answers in the chat. If you asked it to move funds, the answer includes a prepared transaction and a plain preview of its effect, for you to check and sign.
Four groups of tools
Sorted by what each tool is allowed to do.
Read
Balances, transactions, blocks, contract state, events, token details, verified source and live gas prices, plus a docs search so the AI checks the source before it answers. Reads are free and need no wallet.
elysium_get_balance
elysium_get_transaction
elysium_get_block
elysium_read_contract
elysium_get_logs
elysium_token_info
elysium_contract_info
elysium_gas_price
elysium_search_docs
Understand
Simulate a transaction against live state before it is sent, decode any transaction into plain parts, and trace a failure to the exact call that caused it.
elysium_simulate
elysium_decode_transaction
elysium_trace_call
Build
Start from audited templates, compile Solidity, estimate the cost in HYPE, prepare a simulated deployment for you to sign and verify the source on the explorer.
elysium_scaffold
elysium_compile
elysium_estimate_gas
elysium_deploy
elysium_verify
Act
Turn a plain request into a transaction or a batch, preview and simulate it, send it once signed and wait for the result. Agent keys let agents act inside limits you set.
elysium_prepare_transaction
elysium_prepare_batch
elysium_send_signed
elysium_wait
elysium_key_status
Next come alerts when something happens on a contract, and HyperCore data once Kinetiq ships its HyperCore hooks, which it plans for about a month after Elysium mainnet.
See every tool →How signing works
Tesera never holds private keys and never asks for a seed phrase.
Simulated, then signed by you
Anything that changes state comes back as an unsigned transaction with a plain preview of what it will do. You review it and sign it in your own wallet, and only then does Tesera broadcast it.
An agent key with limits
For agents that run without asking each time, you create an agent key in your own wallet, fund it and set hard limits. The agent can act inside those limits only, and you can revoke the key at any time.
A record of every action
Every call is written to your action log in the Tesera console, with what was asked, what was prepared and what was sent. Each key has its own rate limits.
One gateway, many networks
Elysium first. The same shape everywhere after it.
Elysium
Live from day one of Elysium mainnet, 9 November 2026, with all four tool groups.
One URL per network
Each network gets its own endpoint, such as mcp.teseralab.com/elysium, so you choose exactly which chains your AI can reach.
Same tools, same limits
Tool shapes, agent keys, logs and rate limits work the same way on every network, so an agent built for Elysium carries over without a rewrite.
HyperCore data
HyperCore market data on Elysium, once Kinetiq's hooks are live.
Tesera is independent and is not affiliated with Kinetiq or Hyperliquid.
