Build MCP Server: NEAR NFT Operations

Overview

Create an MCP server for NEAR NFT operations - viewing collections, checking ownership, understanding NFT metadata, and interacting with major NFT platforms.

Why This Matters

NFTs are a major use case on NEAR with platforms like Paras, Mintbase, and Few and Far. Claude should be able to help users explore and understand NFTs.
