Trustless Work SDK MCP: Build Faster With AI-Assisted Development
The way developers write software is changing. Editors are becoming intelligent partners — not just text boxes.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is part of that evolution. It gives AI-powered editors a structured way to understand external tools, SDKs, and APIs so they can help developers write better code, faster.
Today, we’re adding Trustless Work to that ecosystem.
The Trustless Work SDK MCP lets Cursor understand the escrow SDK as a first-class tool, making it easier for builders to scaffold escrow flows directly from their editor.
This is all about speed, clarity, and integration quality.
Why We Built the Trustless Work MCP
Developers building with Trustless Work often follow the same workflow:
- Open the documentation
- Check the SDK reference
- Inspect payloads and types
- Copy the patterns into their codebase
- Test, adjust, refactor
- Repeat for each lifecycle step (fund → mark → approve → release)
It's effective — but not frictionless.
Modern builders expect their dev environment to help them:
- understand available functions
- autocomplete payload shapes
- generate correct integration patterns
- reduce mistakes around role logic
- accelerate the “first working flow”
MCP gives us a way to meet them there.
What Is an MCP, in Practical Terms?
The Model Context Protocol is a standard that lets AI-enabled editors (like Cursor) connect to external tools and query them in a structured way.
With MCP, editors can:
- list available tools and methods
- inspect the parameters and types they expect
- generate code that uses those tools
- help you integrate libraries more accurately
Think of it as giving your editor a live, typed map of the SDK — so it can assist you without guessing.
For Trustless Work, this means exposing:
- escrow creation helpers
- milestone update helpers
- approval and release helpers
- indexer/query tools
- types, parameters, and payload schemas
Your editor can now reference our SDK directly, instead of relying on heuristics.
How the Trustless Work MCP Helps Builders
1. Faster onboarding
Instead of searching docs for method names and payload shapes, you can ask Cursor:
“Generate a helper that creates a multi-release escrow with three milestones.”
The MCP surfaces the correct tool, parameters, and structure — instantly.
2. Fewer integration mistakes
Escrow flows are structured:
initiate → fund → mark → approve → release → view.
The MCP helps your editor understand:
- which SDK functions exist
- how the lifecycle fits together
- what each function expects
- how to format milestone updates
- how to wire release flows cleanly
This leads to cleaner, more consistent integrations.
3. Better developer experience inside your editor
Because Cursor can reference Trustless Work as a tool, you can stay inside your coding environment while building your escrow flows — no switching between multiple browser tabs.
It’s a smoother, more focused workflow.
4. Perfect fit for our product philosophy
Trustless Work is built on three principles:
- abstract complexity
- keep roles and flows predictable
- help builders ship faster
MCP fits naturally into that mission.
It doesn’t add new concepts — it amplifies the ones we already built.
Getting Started
If you want to try it in Cursor, add this configuration to your mcp.json:
{
"trustlesswork": {
"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "https://mcp.trustlesswork.com/mcp",
"headers": {}
}
}
You’ll find the MCP settings inside Cursor under:
Settings → MCP → Add New MCP Server

Where This Fits in the Trustless Work Ecosystem
The SDK MCP sits alongside our other integration tools:
- Escrow API – The programmable trust engine
- React SDK – Build frontends with our components
- Backoffice dApp – Operate escrows without writing code
- Viewer – Provide transparency for roles and escrow states
- Open-source templates – P2P exchange, crowdfunding, grants, payroll, and more
MCP doesn’t replace any of these — it simply makes them easier to integrate, especially for teams iterating quickly.
Build Faster, Ship More, Focus on Your Product
Trustless Work exists to remove the barriers that slow teams down when integrating stablecoin escrows.
The SDK MCP is another step toward that goal — giving builders a smoother, more modern development experience.
If you’re experimenting with Cursor or AI-assisted workflows, we’d love to see what you build.
Many thanks to our Open Source contributor, Brandon Fernandez, for building this MCP for our community! Pura Vida!
