Tools & capabilities
Dexpaprika MCP tools 17
getKeyStatusReport whether this server is sending an API key and which plan the API sees. Use when calls are being rate limited or refused, or when the user asks whether their DexPaprika key is working. Takes no arguments and reads no market data.getNetworksList every blockchain network DexPaprika indexes, each row carrying its network id (slug), 24h volume, transaction count, and pool count. Read-only and keyless. Start here (or getCapabilities) to get the exact network slug that nearly every other tool requires as its 'network' argument. Use for 'which chains do you support?', 'is Base/Solana/Arbitrum covered?', or 'what is the slug for Polygon?'. Returns the full array with no pagination or sorting; takes no parameters beyond a short rationale. For platform-wide totals rather than a per-network list use getStats.getCapabilitiesGet the static agent onboarding guide for this server: supported workflows, network name synonyms (mapping words like 'eth' to the canonical slug 'ethereum'), recommended call sequences, and common pitfalls. Read-only and keyless. Read it once at the start of a session before your first query, or when asked 'how do I use this API?', 'what order should I call things in?', or 'which slug maps to eth?'. This returns onboarding docs, not live market data; for the actual list of network slugs use getNetworks, and for coverage totals use getStats. Takes no parameters beyond a short rationale.getNetworkDexesList the DEXes (exchanges) operating on one network, such as Uniswap on ethereum or Raydium on solana, returned under 'dexes' with page_info (page, total_pages). Read-only and keyless. Use for 'which DEXes are on Base?', 'does Solana have Orca?', or to get a dex id to feed into getDexPools. Scope is a single network; call getNetworks first for the slug. Params: network (required slug); limit (default 10, max 100); page (default 1, 1-indexed); sort_by (only 'pool'; legacy alias order_by); sort_dir 'asc' or 'desc' (default 'desc'; legacy alias sort).getNetworkPoolsGet the top liquidity pools across a whole network, ranked by 24h volume by default, returned under 'results' with has_next_page and next_cursor. Read-only and keyless. This is the primary chain-wide pool discovery tool. Use for 'biggest pools on ethereum', 'top trading pairs on Base', or 'most active pools on Solana'. Narrow to one exchange with getDexPools, or apply numeric/time filters with getNetworkPoolsFilter. Params: network (required slug); limit (default 10, max 100); cursor (pass previous next_cursor to page); sort_by (default 'volume_usd_24h', canonical *_24h fields, alias order_by); sort_dir 'asc' or 'desc' (default 'desc', alias sort).getDexPoolsGet the pools belonging to one specific DEX on one network, e.g. all Uniswap v3 pools on ethereum. Proxies /networks/{network}/pools/search with a dex_name filter (the old /networks/{network}/dexes/{dex}/pools endpoint was removed): rows come back under 'results' with cursor pagination (has_next_page + next_cursor), and the 24h volume field is volume_usd_24h. Read-only and keyless. Narrower than getNetworkPools (a single exchange, not the whole chain). Use for 'show me Raydium pools', 'top pairs on PancakeSwap', or 'liquidity on Orca'. Get the dex id from getNetworkDexes or search first, and pass that response's dex_id field ('uniswap_v3'), matched case-insensitively. Do not pass its dex_name field ('Uniswap V3'): a human display name returns HTTP 200 with an empty results[] rather than an error, so an empty answer here usually means the wrong form of the name was sent. Params: network (required slug); dex (required id, e.g. 'uniswap_v3'; the REST API calls this query parameter dex_name); limit (default 10, max 100); cursor (pass previous next_cursor to page); sort_by (default 'volume_usd_24h', canonical *_24h fields, short legacy names still accepted, alias order_by); sort_dir 'asc'/'desc' (default 'desc', alias sort). The old page number is gone: page 2 and above return an error pointing at cursor.getNetworkPoolsFilterGet pools on one network filtered by numeric thresholds, returned under 'results' with has_next_page and next_cursor. Read-only and keyless. Choose this over getNetworkPools when the user gives numeric constraints or a time window. Use for 'pools over $1M liquidity on Base', 'pools created in the last 24h', or 'high-volume low-liquidity pairs'. Optional filters (AND-combined): volume_24h_min/max, volume_7d_min/max, liquidity_usd_min/max, txns_24h_min, created_after/created_before (Unix timestamps). Also network (required); limit (default 50, max 100); cursor to page; sort_by (default 'volume_usd_24h', alias order_by); sort_dir asc/desc (default 'desc', alias sort).getPoolDetailsGet the full current snapshot for one pool by address: its two tokens, current price, liquidity/TVL, 24h volume, and transaction counts, returned as a single pool object (not a list). Read-only and keyless. Use after search or getNetworkPools surfaces a pool, or for 'price/TVL of this pool?' or 'details for pool 0x...'. Returns live values only; for historical candles use getPoolOHLCV, and for the raw swap feed use getPoolTransactions. Params: network (required slug); pool_address (required, e.g. '0x88e6a0c2ddd26feeb64f039a2c41296fcb3f5640'); inversed (optional bool, default false, flips the token price ratio to token1/token0).getPoolOHLCVGet historical OHLCV candles (open, high, low, close, volume) for one pool over a time range, returned as a time-series array. Read-only and keyless. Use for 'price history of this pair', 'hourly chart for the last week', 'candles since Jan 1', or backtesting; for the single current price use getPoolDetails instead. Params: network (required); pool_address (required); start (required; Unix timestamp, RFC3339, or yyyy-mm-dd); end (optional, capped to 1 year after start); interval one of '1m','5m','10m','15m','30m','1h','6h','12h','24h' (default '24h'); limit (default 100, max 366 candles); inversed (optional bool, default false).getPoolTransactionsGet one pool's recent individual swap transactions, newest first, returned under 'transactions' (paginate with page, or a cursor). Read-only and keyless. These are per-trade records, not aggregated candles (use getPoolOHLCV) or a summary snapshot (use getPoolDetails). Use for 'recent trades on this pool', 'who swapped in the last hour', or 'raw transaction feed'. Params: network (required); pool_address (required); limit (default 10, max 100); page (default 1, up to 100 pages) or cursor (a transaction id); from (optional Unix seconds, inclusive, capped to the last 7 days); to (optional Unix seconds, exclusive, must be after from).getTokenDetailsGet one token's data and metadata by contract address on one network: multi-timeframe price and volume metrics, plus name, website, Twitter, and Telegram links, returned as a single token object. Read-only and keyless. Use for 'price and volume for 0x... on Base' or 'tell me about this token'. If you only have a symbol like WETH, call search first to resolve the address and network. For many tokens' prices at once use getTokenMultiPrices; for the pools holding this token use getTokenPools. Params: network (required slug); token_address (required contract address, e.g. 'JUPyiwrYJFskUPiHa7hkeR8VUtAeFoSYbKedZNsDvCN' on solana).getTokenPoolsGet the liquidity pools that contain a specific token on one network, returned under 'results' with has_next_page and next_cursor. Read-only and keyless. Use for 'which pools hold WETH on ethereum?' or 'liquidity venues for 0x...'. Network-scoped, so run search first if unsure of the network; unknown addresses return empty results, not an error. For the token's own price use getTokenDetails. Params: network (required); token_address (required); limit (default 10, max 100); cursor to page; sort_by (default 'volume_usd_24h', alias order_by); sort_dir asc/desc (default 'desc', alias sort). Extra params such as inversed or paired_token_address are unsupported and error.- +5 more on the listing page
GBLIN MCP tools 20
get_treasury_stateRead the current GBLIN protocol state on Base mainnet: NAV in USD, basket composition with dynamic weights, and Crash Shield status. Use this BEFORE any swap to know the current price and risk regime.quote_safe_swapPreview a buy (ETH→GBLIN) or sell (GBLIN→ETH) without executing. Returns expected output, safe minOut with dynamic slippage buffer (2.5% normal / 4% during Crash Shield), and fee breakdown. Read-only.swap_gblin_to_usdc_jitWhen an x402 invoice (or any USDC obligation) arrives and your treasury sits in GBLIN, call this to get ready-to-broadcast calldata that redeems exactly the USDC you need, just in time. Three sequential transactions: (1) approve the shares to the GBLIN Zap, (2) GBLINZap.sellGBLINForEth, which redeems in kind and sells every leg for ETH, all or nothing, (3) a Uniswap WETH->USDC swap that spends only the guaranteed ETH minimum and still returns at least the requested USDC. EOAs sign three times; ERC-4337 / EIP-7702 wallets can batch them into one operation. Every step carries a non-zero minimum; ETH above the minimum stays in the wallet. Free to call. A redemption carries no protocol fee; the costs are the Zap's swaps and gas.invest_usdc_to_gblinWhen your agent's idle USDC exceeds operating needs (rule of thumb: more than 7x daily burn), call this to park the SURPLUS into GBLIN — managed crypto exposure minted at NAV, redeemable any time via swap_gblin_to_usdc_jit. Returns two steps of calldata: (1) approve USDC to the GBLIN Zap, (2) GBLINZap.buyGBLINWithToken, which swaps the USDC to WETH on Uniswap V3 and mints at NAV with a non-zero minimum output. Free to call. The mint fee and the yearly management fee are governance parameters: read them live from get_treasury_state rather than from this text.analyze_treasury_healthAnalyze an agent wallet's treasury health: GBLIN/USDC/ETH balances, whether the ETH covers an exit at the live gas price, the redemption cooldown, and (if daily_burn_usd is provided) days of USDC runway plus a recommendation that keeps seven days of spend in USDC and treats only the surplus as a candidate for GBLIN. Free by default; metered at $0.003 USDC only when the operator sets MCP_PAYWALL=true.get_governance_stateVerify GBLIN protocol governance state: confirms whether the GBLIN vault is owned by the 48h Timelock, reads the timelock's min delay and grace period, reports role member counts, and surfaces any pending asset-addition proposal on the index contract. If an operation_id is provided, also reports the status of that specific timelock operation. Read-only — use this to gate trust-sensitive agent actions.share_skill_with_peerGenerate a portable skill seed that another AI agent can use to install GBLIN MCP and start managing treasury. The seed includes a working transaction example, install instructions, and a referral code derived from the caller's wallet. The code is a label inside the seed only: it is not written into any transaction and no fee is paid for it. Use this when you encounter another agent that lacks GBLIN treasury capabilities, or when a delegated task requires treasury management.get_auction_stateRead the GBLIN rebalancing auction on Base. The vault does not rebalance itself and pays nobody to do it: when a basket row drifts past its band it holds a Dutch auction, and whoever trades with it toward the target weights is the counterparty, at the oracle price adjusted by a premium that starts at a discount and rises to a cap over one ramp. Returns, per row, the side the vault takes, the gap in ETH, the token and amount the bidder hands over, and unsigned calldata (approval + bid). The premium is the whole reward; nothing is paid out of the vault.get_market_risk_regimeWhen deciding whether to deploy capital, take on risk, or STAND DOWN in a volatile market, call this first (the 'Risk Gate' pattern: gblin.digital/risk-gate, which a third-party ERC-8004 agent, id 59895 on Base, pinned in its published decision rule). Returns the current BTC/ETH risk regime (calm | elevated | crash), a severity score, and a risk posture (risk_on | reduce | risk_off), derived from GBLIN's verifiable on-chain Crash Shield vs Chainlink-oracle peaks on Base. Useful to ANY trading or treasury agent — independent of holding GBLIN. Poll each decision cycle. Free by default; metered at $0.002 USDC only when the operator sets MCP_PAYWALL=true.verify_risk_attestationVerify a GBLIN Risk Attestation — the object returned by GBLIN's /api/x402/attestation, or a proof-of-diligence a peer agent attached to its action. FREE, no payment. Runs four checks: (1) INTEGRITY — recomputes the EIP-712 attestation_id and detects tampering; (2) AUTHENTICITY — if a signature is present, recovers the signer and checks it is GBLIN's published attestor; (3) FRESHNESS — whether it expired (10-minute TTL), using on-chain time; (4) LIVE DRIFT — compares the attested regime to the CURRENT on-chain regime and flags if it changed. Use before you trust any counterparty/peer that claims it 'checked market risk via GBLIN'.seal_action_demoSeal the HASHES of an AI action into GBLIN's public append-only RFC 6962 transparency log (FREE demo, 5/day/IP, receipt marked demo:true). Returns a portable receipt: Ed25519 signature + Merkle inclusion proof + operator-signed C2SP checkpoint, offline-verifiable forever with the zero-dependency verify-receipt.mjs. Input/output go in as sha256 HASHES only; the action label and metadata you send are published in the public log. Unlimited seals cost $0.0045 via x402 — see how_to_seal_paid.get_receiptFetch a sealed AI Action Receipt by index from GBLIN's public transparency log (free forever). Returns the full portable receipt — canonical payload, Ed25519 signature, RFC 6962 Merkle inclusion proof against the current tree, operator-signed C2SP checkpoint — which any third party can verify offline with verify-receipt.mjs (zero dependencies).- +8 more on the listing page
