๐Ÿ“– Overview

Lyra Tool Discovery is an AI-powered automation tool designed specifically for the crypto, DeFi, blockchain, and web3 ecosystem. It solves the painful problem of manually discovering, evaluating, and integrating MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers into your crypto-focused applications. Instead of spending hours searching GitHub, reading READMEs, and figuring out the right integration approach, Lyra does it for you in seconds.

The tool crawls multiple sourcesโ€”GitHub and npmโ€”to find crypto-related MCP servers, APIs, and plugins. It filters results to focus exclusively on blockchain, DeFi, web3, and cryptocurrency tooling (including Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, wallets, tokens, NFTs, DEXs, staking, bridges, and more). Lyra then leverages state-of-the-art AI (OpenAI GPT-4o or Anthropic Claude) to analyze each discovered tool and automatically generates ready-to-use plugin configurations.

๐Ÿช™ Crypto Focus

Lyra is optimized for discovering tools related to:

  • Blockchain Networks โ€” Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, Layer 2s, bridges
  • DeFi Protocols โ€” DEXs, lending, staking, yield farming, liquidity
  • Web3 Infrastructure โ€” Wallets, RPC providers, indexers, oracles
  • Token Standards โ€” ERC-20, ERC-721, NFTs, token swaps
  • Smart Contracts โ€” Development, auditing, deployment tools
  • On-chain Data โ€” Analytics, explorers, transaction tracking

Lyra is built for crypto MCP ecosystem developers who need to rapidly onboard new tools, plugin marketplace operators like plugin.delivery who curate crypto plugins, and automation engineers building CI/CD pipelines for DeFi tool discovery and deployment.

This tool is a critical piece of the discovery-to-deployment pipeline: lyra-tool-discovery โ†’ github-to-mcp โ†’ plugin.delivery โ†’ SperaxOS users. By automating the discovery and classification phase, Lyra enables fully automated plugin onboarding with minimal human intervention.

๐Ÿช™ Crypto Discovery Keywords

Lyra automatically filters discovery results to focus on crypto/DeFi/blockchain/web3 tools. The following keywords are used for both search queries and result validation:

View all supported keywords
CategoryKeywords
Generalcrypto, cryptocurrency, defi, blockchain, web3
Networksethereum, eth, solana, sol, bitcoin, btc, chain
Tokenstoken, erc20, erc721, nft
DeFidex, swap, staking, yield, lending, liquidity, vault, bridge
Infrastructurewallet, protocol, onchain, on-chain, smart contract
Librariesweb3.js, ethers, viem, wagmi, rainbowkit
Protocolsuniswap, aave, compound

Tools that don't match any of these keywords are automatically filtered out, ensuring you only discover crypto-relevant MCP servers.

Age Filtering

By default, Lyra only discovers tools that have been updated within the last 12 months. This ensures you're finding actively maintained projects. Use --max-age to adjust:

# Only tools updated in the last 6 months
lyra-discover discover --max-age 6

# Only tools updated in the last 3 months (bleeding edge)
lyra-discover discover --max-age 3

# Tools up to 24 months old
lyra-discover discover --max-age 24

๐Ÿ”ง Programmatic API

Use Lyra as a library in your Node.js/TypeScript projects:

import { 
  ToolDiscovery, 
  GitHubSource, 
  NpmSource,
  AIAnalyzer 
} from '@nirholas/lyra-tool-discovery';

// Initialize with default settings (auto-detect AI provider)
const discovery = new ToolDiscovery();

// Or with specific configuration
const discovery = new ToolDiscovery({
  provider: 'anthropic',
  model: 'claude-sonnet-4-20250514',
  apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY // Optional, uses env var by default
});

// Discover from all sources
const results = await discovery.discover({
  sources: ['github', 'npm'],
  limit: 20,
  dryRun: false
});

// Process results
for (const result of results) {
  console.log(`Tool: ${result.tool.name}`);
  console.log(`Template: ${result.decision.template}`);
  console.log(`Config:`, result.generated.pluginConfig);
}

// Analyze a specific GitHub repo
const repoResult = await discovery.analyzeGitHubRepo('owner', 'repo');
console.log(repoResult?.decision.template);

// Analyze a specific npm package
const npmResult = await discovery.analyzeNpmPackage('@scope/package-name');
console.log(npmResult?.decision.template);

Using Individual Components

๐Ÿ“‹ Plugin Templates

Lyra analyzes tools and automatically selects from 8 plugin templates:

TemplateTransportTypeUse CaseAI Selection Criteria
mcp-httpHTTP/SSEMCPRemote MCP serversHas MCP SDK + HTTP server code, publicly accessible URL
mcp-stdiostdioMCPLocal MCP serversHas MCP SDK + bin entry in package.json, runs via npx
openapiHTTPOpenAPIREST API integrationsHas OpenAPI/Swagger spec file or documentation
standaloneโ€”StandaloneInteractive applicationsNeeds complex UI, React components, data visualization
markdownโ€”MarkdownDocumentation/contentOutputs formatted text, reports, documentation
defaultโ€”DefaultConfigurable pluginsNeeds settings UI, configuration options
settingsโ€”DefaultUser preferencesStores user preferences, personalization
basicโ€”DefaultSimple functionsSimple data lookups, basic API calls

AI Decision Priority

The AI follows this priority order when selecting templates:

  1. MCP Detection โ†’ If tool uses @modelcontextprotocol/sdk:
    • Has HTTP server โ†’ mcp-http
    • Has bin entry โ†’ mcp-stdio
  2. OpenAPI Detection โ†’ If has openapi.json/yaml or Swagger spec โ†’ openapi
  3. Complex UI โ†’ If needs interactive dashboard โ†’ standalone
  4. Formatted Output โ†’ If outputs rich text/markdown โ†’ markdown
  5. Configuration โ†’ If needs user settings โ†’ default or settings
  6. Default โ†’ Simple function โ†’ basic

๐Ÿ“š Examples

Example 1: Discover and Save Results

# Discover tools and save to file
lyra-discover discover --sources github,npm --limit 20 > tools.json

# Parse with jq
cat tools.json | jq '.[] | {name: .tool.name, template: .decision.template}'

Example 2: Batch Analyze Repositories

# Create a list of repos to analyze
repos=(
  "modelcontextprotocol/servers"
  "anthropics/claude-mcp"
  "punkpeye/mcp-server-obsidian"
)

# Analyze each repo
for repo in "${repos[@]}"; do
  owner=$(echo $repo | cut -d'/' -f1)
  name=$(echo $repo | cut -d'/' -f2)
  lyra-discover analyze-repo $owner $name
  echo "---"
done

Example 3: Analyze npm Packages in CI

// scripts/analyze-packages.ts
import { ToolDiscovery } from '@nirholas/lyra-tool-discovery';

const packages = [
  '@modelcontextprotocol/server-github',
  '@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem',
  '@modelcontextprotocol/server-slack',
];

async function main() {
  const discovery = new ToolDiscovery({ provider: 'openai' });
  
  for (const pkg of packages) {
    const result = await discovery.analyzeNpmPackage(pkg);
    if (result) {
      console.log(JSON.stringify({
        package: pkg,
        template: result.decision.template,
        config: result.generated.pluginConfig
      }, null, 2));
    }
  }
}

main();

Example 4: Custom Source Integration

import { AIAnalyzer, type DiscoveredTool } from '@nirholas/lyra-tool-discovery';

// Create a custom discovered tool
const customTool: DiscoveredTool = {
  id: 'custom:my-tool',
  name: 'my-custom-mcp-server',
  description: 'A custom MCP server for my application',
  source: 'github',
  sourceUrl: 'https://github.com/myorg/my-tool',
  hasMCPSupport: true,
  hasNpmPackage: true,
  readme: '# My Tool\n\nAn MCP server that does X, Y, Z...',
  packageJson: {
    name: 'my-custom-mcp-server',
    bin: { 'my-mcp': './dist/cli.js' },
    dependencies: { '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk': '^1.0.0' }
  }
};

// Analyze with AI
const ai = new AIAnalyzer({ provider: 'anthropic' });
const decision = await ai.analyzeAndDecide(customTool);
console.log(`Template: ${decision.template}`);
console.log(`Reasoning: ${decision.reasoning}`);

Example 5: Dry Run with Filtering

# Discover in dry-run mode to see what would be analyzed
lyra-discover discover --dry-run --sources github --limit 50

# Output:
# [DRY RUN] Would analyze: mcp-server-github
#   Source: github
#   URL: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers
#   MCP: Yes
# [DRY RUN] Would analyze: claude-mcp
#   Source: github
#   URL: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-mcp
#   MCP: Yes
# ...

Example 6: Generate Quick Import for SperaxOS

import { ToolDiscovery } from '@nirholas/lyra-tool-discovery';

const discovery = new ToolDiscovery();
const result = await discovery.analyzeNpmPackage('@modelcontextprotocol/server-github');

// The quick import format can be directly pasted into SperaxOS
console.log(`Add this to your MCP configuration:`);
console.log(JSON.stringify({
  mcpServers: {
    [result.tool.name]: result.decision.config.customParams?.mcp
  }
}, null, 2));
