Emercoin + AI agent tools

Docker compose image for Emercoin core and emer-ai-tools: an on-chain identity & memory layer for AI agents built on top of it.

🤖 Building with an AI agent? Read AGENTS.md — it explains how an agent gets a verifiable on-chain identity and durable memory through the emercoin-agent MCP server (no cryptocurrency required). A ready-to-use Claude Code skill ships at .claude/skills/emercoin-identity/.

The rest of this README covers running the Emercoin node itself.

Why is all this necessary?

Docker allows you to create an isolated container with an Emercoin wallet inside and a separate storage (volume: blockhain_data) for the blockchain. This makes it cross-platform (you can run it on any OS where you can install Docker), the ability to update versions of the Emercoin wallet in one click. Use the wallet functionality in your projects through the RPC JSON interface.

Core - the classic version, just an Emercoin wallet in a container. It takes time to sync with the network.

To start from scratch:

Install Git Install Docker and docker-compose

Clone the repository and go to the project folder:

git clone https://github.com/emercoin/emer-ai-tools emer_docker_wallet && cd emer_docker_wallet

Rename node/emercoin.conf.example to node/emercoin.conf

Start building a container with Emercoin:

The node alone (no agent tools) is the default stack — no profile needed:

docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yaml up -d --build

To also run the AI-agent tools (adapter + edge + redis), add --profile dev (or --profile prod); see AGENTS.md.

The container is launched, it takes time to download the blockchain (~ 3-5 hours), but some data can be obtained right now. By default, port 6662 is used to connect to the container.

• address: 127.0.0.1
• user: emcrpc
• password: emcpass
• method: POST request body example {"method": "getinfo"}

Change the password in the container:

docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yaml exec emc bash changepass.sh
docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yaml restart emc

How can I check that the container is working properly?

Need to send POST (using Postman, for example) to the address http://emcrpc:emcpass@127.0.0.1:6662, request body {"method":"getinfo"}

Python:

import requests

url = "emcrpc:emcpass@127.0.0.1:6662"
payload = {"method": "getinfo"}
headers = { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }
response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, json=payload)
print(response.json())

On the command line using Curl: (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install curl) - если Curl не установлен

curl --location --request POST 'emcrpc:emcpass@127.0.0.1:6662' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{"method": "getinfo" }'

if everything is ok, the response will be in JSON format:

{
    "result": {
        "fullversion": "v0.7.10emc",
        "version": 71000,
        "protocolversion": 70015,
        "walletversion": 130000,
        "balance": 0.000000,
        ...

Build Management

Stop container:

docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yaml stop emc

Remove containers:

docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yaml down

In this case, the blockchain database, wallet.dat and emercoin.conf are not deleted. It remains in volume docker_emercoin_data.

Delete blockchain database

docker volume rm emer_data

Attention! this command also deletes wallet.dat
