MCP Server

Examples

Configuration examples for running the OpenOcean MCP server with different clients.

Running with an MCP Client

MCP clients run the server as a background process. Add a server entry like one of the following.

Using pnpm dlx (recommended):

Terminal

{}

1 {
2   "mcpServers": {
3     "openocean-mcp-server": {
4       "command": "pnpm",
5       "args": ["dlx", "openocean-mcp"]
6     }
7   }
8 }

If installed globally:

Terminal

{}

1 {
2   "mcpServers": {
3     "openocean-mcp-server": {
4       "command": "openocean-mcp",
5       "args": []
6     }
7   }
8 }

Example Prompts

Once the MCP server is configured, you can use prompts like these with your AI assistant:

Terminal

TXT

1 # Get a swap quote
2 "Get me a quote for swapping 1 ETH to USDC on Ethereum"
3 
4 # Check token list
5 "What tokens are available on BSC?"
6 
7 # Get gas price
8 "What's the current gas price on Polygon?"
9 
10 # Build a swap transaction
11 "Build a swap transaction for 100 USDC to ETH on Arbitrum for address 0x..."
12 
13 # Check DEXes
14 "What DEXes are supported on Avalanche?"
