DEX Swap Quotes API

Best swap quotes across Uniswap, SushiSwap, Aerodrome -- price impact, route, slippage. Pre-trade essential. Pay-per-call via x402 (USDC on Base L2) -- no API key, no signup, no rate-limit wall.

Part of the klymax402 marketplace -- 100 x402 micropayment APIs for AI agents, one wallet, USDC on Base.

Quickstart -- MCP

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, ElizaOS, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dex-quotes": {
      "url": "https://dex-quotes.api.klymax402.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Quickstart -- HTTP (x402)

curl "https://dex-quotes.api.klymax402.com/api/quote?tokenIn=...&tokenOut=...&amount=..."
# -> 402 Payment Required, with an x402 payment challenge in the response body

Any x402-aware client (@x402/fetch, x402-agent-tools, ATXP) handles the 402 -> sign -> retry cycle automatically.

Tools

dex_get_swap_quote

Parameters

Returns

• bestDex -- which DEX offers the best rate (Uniswap, SushiSwap, Aerodrome)
• amountOut -- expected output token amount
• priceImpact -- percentage price impact of the trade
• minimumReceived -- minimum output after slippage tolerance
• route -- swap path (e.g. USDC -> WETH -> TOKEN)
• gasEstimateUsd -- estimated gas cost in USD

Example response:

{"bestDex":"Uniswap V3","amountOut":"0.3215","priceImpact":"0.12%","minimumReceived":"0.3183","route":["USDC","WETH"],"gasEstimateUsd":0.04}

When to use: executing any token swap to find the best rate and estimate slippage. Essential for trade sizing and DEX comparison.
