MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for CSPR.trade, a Uniswap V2 DEX on the Casper Network. Connects AI agents and LLMs to on-chain DeFi — market data, swaps, liquidity, and local transaction signing.

Supports stdio (local, e.g. Claude Code) and HTTP (remote, Streamable HTTP) transports.

Installation

npm install @make-software/cspr-trade-mcp

Usage

stdio (Claude Code, local MCP clients)

Add to .claude.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cspr-trade": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@make-software/cspr-trade-mcp"],
      "env": { "CSPR_TRADE_NETWORK": "testnet" }
    }
  }
}

HTTP (remote agents)

CSPR_TRADE_NETWORK=testnet CSPR_TRADE_TRANSPORT=http CSPR_TRADE_PORT=3001 \
  npx @make-software/cspr-trade-mcp

Point any MCP client at http://your-host:3001/mcp.

The HTTP transport also exposes a health endpoint at /health.

Public production endpoint

The intended public mainnet endpoint is:

• MCP: https://mcp.cspr.trade/mcp
• Health: https://mcp.cspr.trade/health

Expected health response:

{"status":"ok","version":"0.1.0","network":"mainnet","transport":"http"}

Deployment examples are included here:

• deploy/systemd/cspr-trade-mcp.service
• deploy/nginx/mcp.cspr.trade.conf

Local signer (--signer mode)

A separate, local-only MCP instance that signs deploys without exposing private keys to the network or the LLM.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cspr-trade": {
      "url": "http://your-host:3001/mcp"
    },
    "cspr-signer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@make-software/cspr-trade-mcp", "--signer"],
      "env": { "CSPR_TRADE_KEY_PATH": "~/.casper/secret_key.pem" }
    }
  }
}

Agent flow: build_swap (remote) -> sign_deploy (local) -> submit_transaction (remote). Private key never leaves the machine.

Tool Details

get_quote

token_in:  "CSPR"          # Symbol, name, or contract hash
token_out: "USDT"
amount:    "1000"           # Human-readable
type:      "exact_in"       # or "exact_out"

Returns quote with path, price impact, execution price, and recommended slippage.

build_swap

token_in:          "CSPR"
token_out:         "USDT"
amount:            "1000"
type:              "exact_in"
sender_public_key: "01abc..."
slippage_bps:      300        # Optional, default 3%
deadline_minutes:  20         # Optional, default 20

Returns unsigned deploy JSON, human-readable summary, and safety warnings (high price impact, excessive slippage).

sign_deploy

deploy_json:    '{"hash":"...","header":{...},"approvals":[]}'
key_source:     "pem_file"   # or "pem_env" or "mnemonic"
algorithm:      "ed25519"    # Optional, default ed25519
mnemonic_index: 0            # Optional, for HD wallet derivation

Key sources:

• pem_file — reads PEM from file at CSPR_TRADE_KEY_PATH
• pem_env — reads PEM content from CSPR_TRADE_KEY_PEM env var
• mnemonic — derives key from BIP-39 phrase in CSPR_TRADE_MNEMONIC (BIP-44 path m/44'/506'/0'/0/{index})

Supports Ed25519 and Secp256k1 key algorithms.

Environment Variables

Server

Signer (--signer mode)

Example: End-to-End Swap

An agent with both cspr-trade (remote) and cspr-signer (local) configured:

1. Agent calls get_quote -> sees "1000 CSPR -> 42.5 USDT, 0.3% impact"
2. Agent calls build_swap -> gets unsigned deploy JSON + summary
3. Agent calls sign_deploy (local signer) -> gets signed deploy JSON
4. Agent calls submit_transaction -> gets transaction hash
5. Agent reports: "Swapped 1000 CSPR for 42.5 USDT. Tx: abc123..."

The private key never left the user's machine. The LLM never saw it.
