How to Set Up and Use Crypto MCP Gateway
Crypto MCP Gateway (modelcontextprotocol.name) is an open MCP gateway that gives AI agents access to over 1,100 DeFi and crypto tools across most major blockchains, covering token swaps on DEXs, cross-chain bridging, staking, lending, whale tracking, on-chain analytics, and autonomous agent-to-agent payments using the x402 payment protocol. It is built in TypeScript and exposes these capabilities through a standard MCP interface so any compatible AI client β Claude, Cursor, or custom agents β can trade, bridge, and deploy contracts by simply describing what they want in natural language.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later
- A crypto wallet private key or connection to a wallet provider for transaction signing
- RPC endpoint URL(s) for the blockchains you want to interact with
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop
Clone the repository
Clone the modelcontextprotocol.name repository from GitHub.
git clone https://github.com/nirholas/modelcontextprotocol.name.git
cd modelcontextprotocol.nameInstall dependencies
Install the Node.js dependencies for the MCP gateway.
npm installConfigure wallet and RPC access
The gateway needs a wallet private key and RPC endpoint to sign and broadcast transactions. Set these as environment variables before starting the server. Never commit a real private key to version control.
export WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY="0x..."
export RPC_URL="https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/YOUR_PROJECT_ID"Start the MCP server
Launch the gateway server. It will expose all 1,100+ crypto tools over the MCP protocol.
npm startAdd the server to your MCP client config
Register the gateway with Claude Desktop or another MCP client using the server's command and required environment variables.

}Prompts to try
Example prompts for DeFi and crypto operations once the gateway is connected.
- "Swap 0.1 ETH for USDC on Uniswap using the best available route"
- "Bridge 100 USDC from Ethereum mainnet to Arbitrum"
- "Stake 1 ETH and show me the current APY options"
- "Show me the top whale wallets that bought ETH in the last 24 hours"
- "What is the current gas price on Ethereum and what will my swap cost?"Troubleshooting Crypto MCP Gateway
Transaction fails with 'insufficient funds' error
Make sure your wallet has enough native token (ETH, MATIC, etc.) to cover both the swap/bridge amount and the gas fees. Check your balance before executing on-chain operations.
RPC connection errors or timeout when executing tools
Verify your RPC_URL is valid and your API key has capacity. Consider using a paid RPC provider like Alchemy or Infura for more reliable connections. Public RPC endpoints are rate-limited and may time out under load.
Server fails to start with missing module errors
Run 'npm install' again from the project root to ensure all dependencies are installed. If a TypeScript compilation step is needed, run 'npm run build' before starting the server.
