circuit-mcp
Give any AI agent Circuit's real-time Solana data and agent-swarm intelligence as tools — auto-paid per call in CIRC over x402. No API keys, no signup. Add it to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any agent runtime with one line.

Beta software. circuit-mcp is under active development — expect breaking changes, incomplete features, and rough edges. Paid tools spend real CIRC per call; start with the free tools (or a small spend cap) until you're comfortable with how it behaves.
What it does
A thin Model Context Protocol server over @circuit-llm/data. It exposes Circuit's real-time Solana data as tools any MCP client can call — and auto-pays for them per call in CIRC over x402. Free tools return data directly; paid tools are auto-paid from your wallet, bounded per call and per session. No API keys, no accounts.
The differentiator is the swarm_* tools: live buy/sell/rug signals from Circuit's running trading-agent fleet — data no generic price API has.
Quick Start
Add it to any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, an agent runtime):
// claude_desktop_config.json → "mcpServers"
{ "circuit": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@circuit-llm/mcp"],
"env": { "CIRCUIT_WALLET": "<base58 secret funded with CIRC>" } } } // omit → free tools only
Then ask your agent "what's the swarm's consensus on this mint?" or "audit this token for rug risk." The paid tools settle on Solana in ~400ms behind the scenes. Without CIRCUIT_WALLET, the free tools still work.
Tools
| Tool | Cost | What |
|---|---|---|
circuit_quote |
free | live price list for every tool |
token_price |
free | aggregated USD price (Jupiter + DexScreener + CoinGecko) |
live_prices |
free | sub-second batch prices (≤20 mints) from the gRPC indexer |
scan |
free | on-chain dip-reversal scanner |
swarm_feed ⭐ |
~$0.002 | live buy/sell/rug signals from the Circuit agent swarm |
swarm_consensus ⭐ |
~$0.002 | reputation-weighted swarm view on one token |
token_security |
~$0.003 | rug-risk audit — authorities, LP lock, risk flags |
token_overview |
~$0.003 | price + metadata + security + pools in one call |
trending |
~$0.002 | trending tokens across sources |
token_holders |
~$0.005 | holder count + top-5/10/20 concentration |
Prices are live from circuit_quote (/api/quote); a few endpoints are currently ungated (free).
Configuration
All configuration is via environment variables.
| Variable | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
CIRCUIT_WALLET |
— | base58 secret key that funds micropayments (omit → free tools only) |
CIRCUIT_MCP_MAX_SPEND_CIRC |
1000 |
per-call CIRC spend cap |
CIRCUIT_MCP_MAX_TOTAL_CIRC |
50000 |
per-process CIRC cap — the runaway-spend guard; paid tools stop once reached |
CIRCUIT_MCP_TIMEOUT_MS |
120000 |
outer per-tool-call backstop (a genuinely stuck call returns a clean error) |
CIRCUIT_TREASURY |
— | if set, only ever pay this address (recipient allow-list — recommended) |
CIRCUIT_DATA_URL |
https://api.circuitllm.xyz |
override the data API base |
CIRCUIT_RPC_URL |
public RPC | Solana RPC used to send payments — set your own; the public default rate-limits |
Safety
- Spend is bounded two ways —
CIRCUIT_MCP_MAX_SPEND_CIRCper call andCIRCUIT_MCP_MAX_TOTAL_CIRCper process (the drain guard against a looping agent). SetCIRCUIT_TREASURYto pin the payee so a hostile endpoint can't redirect funds. - Read-only — every tool is a data fetch; none move funds beyond the micropayment.
- No bypass — this package always pays per call; the internal-key bypass is a Circuit-hosted concern, never a user knob (see docs/HOSTING.md).
- Protocol-safe — all logs go to stderr; stdout is reserved for the MCP channel.
How it works
Each paid tool call hits the Circuit Data API: a free endpoint returns data; a paid one answers 402 Payment Required with a CIRC quote. @circuit-llm/data pays the quote from your wallet on Solana and retries — the spend caps and CIRCUIT_TREASURY allow-list bound where and how much. For a hosted deployment (Circuit fronts payment so agents need no wallet), see docs/HOSTING.md.
Develop
git clone https://github.com/Circuit-LLM/MCP && cd MCP
npm install
npm run smoke # spawn the server via a real MCP client, list tools, exercise the free tools (no spend)
npm start # run the server over stdio
Built on @circuit-llm/data + @circuit-llm/wallet + the MCP TypeScript SDK.
