Which MCP server should you choose?
A
Choose Arctic when
You need dedicated capabilities in the Finance & Fintech domain.
Its auth model fits you: API key required.
You want tools like scan_token, trace_wallet, robinhood_radar.
scan_tokenRead a Robinhood Chain token right now: name, supply, owner powers, Pons v2 launch and graduation, creator tax, price, market cap, liquidity, 24h volume, buys and sells, deployer share and burned share. Every key carries its unit. Use it whenever the user mentions a token contract address.
trace_walletRead the wallet behind a Robinhood Chain token: how many tokens it launched through the Pons v2 factory in the last hours, how many graduated, how many are still on a curve, and whether it bought or sold on its own curves. Use it when the user asks who is behind a token, or about a deployer.
robinhood_radarList Robinhood Chain tokens right now: `new` gives the latest Pons v2 launches (age, curve progress, market cap), `trending` gives the most traded tokens over 24h (volume, liquidity, buys and sells, change). Use it to find tokens, then scan_token to read one in depth.
