Claude Code

Claude Code natively supports MCP servers. By registering dex-skills as an MCP server, you can query token data, check trending tokens, launch tokens, and trade -- all through natural language in your terminal.

Setup

Add dex-skills to your Claude Code MCP configuration. You can configure it at the project level or globally.

Option 1: Project-level (recommended)

Create or edit .mcp.json in your project root:

.mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dex-skills": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["dex-skills", "--mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SOLANA_RPC_URL": "https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com",
        "BASE_RPC_URL": "https://mainnet.base.org",
        "BNB_RPC_URL": "https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org",
        "TRON_FULL_HOST": "https://api.trongrid.io"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option 2: Global

Add to ~/.claude/settings.json to make dex-skills available in all projects:

~/.claude/settings.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dex-skills": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["dex-skills", "--mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SOLANA_RPC_URL": "https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com",
        "BASE_RPC_URL": "https://mainnet.base.org"
      }
    }
  }
}

Environment variables

Only configure the RPC URLs for the chains you need. For example, if you only work with Solana platforms (Pump.fun, LetsBonk, Moonshot), you only need SOLANA_RPC_URL.

Usage Examples

Once configured, you can interact with dex-skills through natural language in Claude Code.

Read-only queries (no private key needed)

Claude Code prompts

> Show me trending tokens on Pump.fun

> Get token info for So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 on pumpfun

> List the 10 newest tokens on Zora

> Show trade history for token XYZ on moonshot

Trading (requires private key per request)

Claude Code prompts

> Launch a token called "Test Token" with symbol TEST on Pump.fun

> Buy 0.1 SOL worth of token ABC on pumpfun

> Sell 1000000 tokens of ABC on moonshot

Private key handling

For write operations (launch, buy, sell), Claude Code will prompt you for a private key as a tool parameter. The key is passed directly to the MCP server, used once for transaction signing, and never stored or logged. You will see the tool call details before approving execution.

Available Tools

Once connected, Claude Code can use these 11 tools:

Tool	Description	Key
dex_platforms	List all supported platforms	No
dex_get_token	Get token info by address	No
dex_list_tokens	List tokens with sorting/pagination	No
dex_trending	Get trending tokens by category	No
dex_trade_history	Get trade history for a token	No
dex_holders	Get token holders (Zora only)	No
dex_estimate_price	Price estimate (Four.meme only)	No
dex_launch	Launch a new token	Yes
dex_buy	Buy tokens on a platform	Yes
dex_sell	Sell tokens on a platform	Yes

Yes = requires private key per request. No = read-only, no credentials needed.

Verify Connection

After adding the configuration, restart Claude Code and try a simple query to confirm the server is running:

Claude Code

> What DEX platforms are available?

Claude will call the dex_platforms tool and return a list of all 7 supported platforms with their chains.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
Tools not showing up	Restart Claude Code after editing `.mcp.json`. Check that `npx dex-skills --mcp` runs without errors.
RPC errors	Verify your RPC URLs are correct and accessible. Use a dedicated RPC provider for production use.
Transaction failures	Ensure the private key has sufficient balance for the transaction and gas fees.
