What Uniswap Trader MCP can do in Claude Desktop

getPrice

Fetches a real-time price quote for a Uniswap swap. Accepts chainId, tokenIn, tokenOut, amountIn/amountOut, and tradeType (exactIn or exactOut), and returns the price, input/output amounts, minimum received, maximum input, the multi-hop route, and an estimated gas cost.

executeSwap

Executes a swap on Uniswap. Accepts chainId, tokenIn, tokenOut, amountIn/amountOut, tradeType, slippageTolerance (default 0.5%), and deadline (default 20 minutes), and returns the transaction hash along with the amounts, route, and gas used.

Security

Requires a funded wallet private key (WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY) and an RPC API key (INFURA_KEY) to be set as environment variables. The executeSwap tool performs real on-chain transactions that move funds, so the configured wallet should hold only what you are willing to risk. Never commit or expose the private key.

Uniswap Trader MCP + Claude Desktop FAQ

Where is the Claude Desktop config file?

Claude Desktop reads MCP servers from ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Paste the Uniswap Trader MCP config there under the "mcpServers" key and restart the client.

Which blockchains are supported?

Ethereum (1), Optimism (10), Polygon (137), Arbitrum (42161), Celo (42220), BNB Chain (56), Avalanche (43114), and Base (8453). Each chain must be configured in chainConfigs.js with a valid RPC URL, WETH address, and SwapRouter address.
