Tools
- Deploy ERC721 Collection
Tool to deploy a new erc721 collection contract. use after creating a project to programmatically deploy the collection on a specified blockchain.
- Get Project Details
Tool to retrieve details of a specific project. use when you need metadata about a project after authenticating with your api key.
- List Projects
Tool to list all projects. use when you need to retrieve all projects accessible by the authenticated user.
Setup
Setup guide
- 11. In Switchy, open Settings → Integrations → Developer Tools and click Connect next to Owl Protocol. 2. You'll see a prompt for your Owl Protocol API key — generate one by logging into your Owl Protocol dashboard, navigating to API Settings, and copying the key labeled 'Primary API Key'. 3. Paste the key into Switchy and click Authorize; the connection saves immediately. 4. Open any Space and type '@Owl Protocol list my projects' to confirm the integration works — you should see a list of projects from your Owl account. 5. To deploy a contract, use '@Owl Protocol deploy an ERC721 collection' and follow the inline prompts for project ID, contract name, symbol, and target blockchain; the MCP will return the deployed contract address and transaction hash once confirmed on-chain.
What teammates see: by default, memories from Owl Protocol are scoped to the Space (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.

Example outputs
Illustrative - representative of the model's voice and quality, not literal recordings.
@Owl Protocol list all my projects and show me which blockchains they're deployed on
Found 4 projects under your account: 1. **CryptoKitties Revival** (ID: proj_8x2k) — Deployed on Polygon mainnet 2. **GenArt Drops** (ID: proj_9m4p) — Deployed on Base 3. **Membership Badges** (ID: proj_1n7q) — Deployed on Ethereum mainnet 4. **Test Collection** (ID: proj_5r3t) — Not yet deployed Each project can host multiple ERC721 collections. Use the project ID to retrieve contract addresses or deploy new collections.
This example shows the MCP's read capability for project inventory. Requires a valid API key with read scope. The list reflects your account state at query time — newly created projects appear immediately, but blockchain deployment status may lag by a few seconds.
@Owl Protocol deploy an ERC721 collection called 'Summer Pass 2025' under project proj_9m4p on Base mainnet
Deploying ERC721 collection **Summer Pass 2025** to Base mainnet under project `proj_9m4p`... ✓ Transaction submitted: `0x7a3f...82e1` ✓ Contract deployed at: `0x4b2c...91d3` The collection is now live. You can mint tokens by calling the contract's mint function or using Owl Protocol's minting API. Gas cost: ~0.002 ETH. Note that the deploying wallet must hold sufficient Base ETH for transaction fees.
This example demonstrates the MCP's write capability — deploying a smart contract on-chain. Requires API key with write scope AND a funded wallet configured in your Owl Protocol account. Deployment is irreversible; test on a testnet first. Rate limits apply (typically 10 deploys/hour).
@Owl Protocol get details for project proj_8x2k and draft a one-paragraph summary for our team Slack
**Project: CryptoKitties Revival** (proj_8x2k) Deployed on Polygon mainnet with 3 active ERC721 collections. Total minted supply: 1,247 NFTs across all collections. Primary collection contract: `0x9e1a...4f2b`. Created 2024-11-03, last updated 2025-01-08. **Draft Slack message:** "Our CryptoKitties Revival project is live on Polygon with 1,247 NFTs minted so far. We're running 3 collections under one project umbrella — check the dashboard for per-collection breakdowns. Contract address for the main drop: 0x9e1a...4f2b."
This example pairs the MCP's metadata retrieval with the AI's synthesis ability. The MCP fetches structured project data; the AI drafts human-readable comms. Useful for status updates or onboarding teammates. Metadata freshness depends on Owl Protocol's indexing lag (usually under 1 minute).
Use-case deep-dives
When Owl Protocol fits a product team shipping collectibles
A 5-person SaaS team wants to mint commemorative NFTs for their first 500 users at launch. The Owl Protocol MCP is the right call here because it wraps contract deployment into a single tool call—no Solidity, no Hardhat config, no wallet juggling. The team creates a project via API key, deploys an ERC721 collection to Polygon in under a minute, and the marketing lead can trigger mints from a Switchy workflow tied to their signup webhook. The trade-off: if you need custom contract logic or multi-sig treasury routing, you'll hit the ceiling fast. But for standard commemorative drops under 10k units, this MCP turns a two-week blockchain sprint into a Tuesday afternoon task. Use it when speed and simplicity beat customization.
How a web3 consultancy uses this MCP for client onboarding
A 3-person blockchain consultancy onboards 6-8 new clients per quarter, each with existing NFT projects scattered across Ethereum, Polygon, and Base. The Owl Protocol MCP's List Projects and Get Project Details tools let the team pull metadata for every client collection in a single Switchy session, then cross-reference on-chain data with the client's claimed roadmap. This works because Owl Protocol indexes projects by API key, so the consultancy can namespace each client and avoid credential sprawl. The boundary: if a client's contracts aren't deployed through Owl Protocol originally, you're limited to whatever public metadata the chain exposes. For consultancies managing 10+ active clients with Owl-deployed assets, this MCP cuts discovery time from hours to minutes.
When this MCP scales for recurring collectible releases
A 12-person indie game studio ships a new season pass NFT every 8 weeks, each tied to in-game cosmetics and early access perks. The Owl Protocol MCP handles the deploy-mint-repeat cadence without forcing the engineering team to maintain a custom smart contract pipeline. The studio's community manager triggers deployments from Switchy by specifying chain and metadata URI, then the backend mints passes as players hit milestones. The constraint: if your studio needs dynamic NFT traits or on-chain game state hooks, Owl Protocol's ERC721 tooling is too vanilla—you'll need a custom contract framework. But for studios shipping 4-6 static collectible drops per year to audiences under 50k, this MCP keeps the blockchain work off the engineering roadmap and in the marketing ops stack.
Frequently asked
What does the Owl Protocol MCP do in Switchy?
It lets your team deploy and manage ERC721 NFT collections directly from Switchy's chat interface. You can list existing projects, pull metadata for a specific project, and deploy new collection contracts to any supported blockchain — all without leaving the conversation. Useful for web3 teams running drops or managing on-chain assets as part of their workflow.
Do I need an Owl Protocol API key to connect this MCP?
Yes. The MCP uses API key authentication, so whoever connects it must have an active Owl Protocol account and generate a key from their dashboard. That key grants access to all projects tied to the account, so treat it like a password. Store it in Switchy's credential vault; the team never sees the raw key.
Can the Owl Protocol MCP mint NFTs or transfer tokens?
No. It only handles project metadata and contract deployment. Once you deploy an ERC721 collection, you'll need to use Owl's web dashboard or a separate tool to mint tokens, set royalties, or manage transfers. Think of this MCP as the setup layer, not the ongoing operations layer.
Why use this MCP instead of the Owl Protocol dashboard?
Speed and context. If your team is already discussing a launch in Switchy, you can deploy the contract in the same thread without switching tabs. The MCP also logs the deployment details in your workspace history, so everyone sees what got deployed and when. For one-off tasks, the dashboard is fine; for repeated deployments, the MCP saves clicks.
Who on the team should connect the Owl Protocol MCP?
Whoever owns your Owl Protocol account and has permission to deploy contracts. Typically a technical lead or devops engineer. Once connected, any Switchy user in the workspace can trigger the tools, but the deployments happen under the connected account's credentials. If you rotate API keys, that person needs to update the connection.
