Abstract
This proposal introduces Canton MCP and Canton LLM Skills, two complementary open-source packages (Apache 2.0) that turn any modern LLM into a Canton-fluent developer assistant. The Canton MCP server exposes 21 deterministic tools across four layers (docs/search, lint/validate, scaffold/generate, live data access) so any AI assistant or autonomous agent can build, validate, and operate Canton applications from a single prompt. The Canton LLM Skills bundle ships the same canonical knowledge in 6 platform formats for clients without MCP support, including consumer ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode, and on-premise Llama / Mistral / Qwen deployments at financial institutions. Together they make Canton developer onboarding *"one prompt, one install command, a working Canton project ready to ship"*, and make live Canton data (Featured App metrics, traffic burnt, reward markers per $1 burnt, transaction history, mining rounds, AmuletRules, balances) accessible to any LLM or agentic system without per-project API integration.
