Ethereum Trading MCP Server

✅ ALL ISSUES RESOLVED - All identified security issues have been addressed.
Status: Production Ready | 211 tests passing | 51.2% coverage | Zero warnings | HTTP Transport Only

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server in Rust that enables AI agents to query balances and execute token swaps on Ethereum with enterprise-grade security and reliability.

Key Features

• Real ETH Balances: Fetches actual on-chain ETH balances via alloy
• ERC20 Support: Query any ERC20 token balance with proper decimals and symbols
• Uniswap V3 Integration: Get real token prices in ETH from Uniswap V3 quoter contracts
• USD Pricing via Chainlink: Convert token prices to USD using the Chainlink ETH/USD oracle
• Symbol Support: get_token_price accepts either token_address or token_symbol (USDC/USDT/DAI/WETH)
• Production Swap Simulation: Construct and simulate real Uniswap V3 transactions via eth_call
• Smart Contract Integration: Production addresses for USDC, USDT, DAI, WETH, and Uniswap V3 contracts
• Fee Tier Optimization: Automatic selection of optimal Uniswap V3 fee tiers (no execution)

Transport Support

• HTTP/HTTPS: Full support with connection pooling, rate limiting, and retry logic
• WebSocket: Not currently supported (see )
• Failover: Automatic failover across multiple HTTP RPC URLs
• Concurrency: Configurable concurrent request limits with semaphore-based throttling

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Rust + tokio - Async runtime
• alloy - Ethereum RPC client
• tracing - Structured logging (required)
• rust_decimal - Financial precision (required)
• serde - JSON serialization

🚀 Quick Start

• Rust 1.75+
• Ethereum RPC endpoint (Infura/Alchemy)

Setup

git clone https://github.com/ljg-cqu/ethereum-mcp-server
cd ethereum-mcp-server

# Copy and configure environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your Ethereum RPC URL(s) and WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY (64-hex, with or without 0x)
# You can provide a single URL:
#   ETHEREUM_RPC_URL=https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/YOUR_PROJECT_ID
# Or multiple for failover (CSV):
#   ETHEREUM_RPC_URLS=https://rpc1.example,https://rpc2.example

# Build and test
cargo build --release
cargo test

# Run the server
make dev

Usage

Start the server:

# Using Makefile (recommended)
make dev

# Or directly with cargo
ETHEREUM_RPC_URL="https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/YOUR_KEY" \
WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY="0x0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef" \
cargo run

# Or using Docker
cp .env.example .env  # Configure your RPC URL
make docker-build && make docker-run

The server will be available at http://localhost:3000

Test Coverage: 51.2% (551/1076 lines)

Unit Tests (183): Core functionality, validation, nonce management, circuit breaker, ethereum provider utilities, HTTP server configuration, type conversions, configuration loading

Integration Tests (19): End-to-end flows, security validation, JSON-RPC protocol compliance, address conversions, transaction status types, configuration validation

Main Tests (9): Configuration loading, validation, helper functions

🏗️ Architecture

Simple & Focused: HTTP server → JSON-RPC 2.0 → Ethereum RPC → Smart contracts. {{ ... }} See for detailed architecture and design decisions.

📝 Production Features

• Multi-provider RPC failover
• Thread-safe nonce management
• Circuit breaker pattern
• Rate limiting and concurrency controls
• Enterprise-grade input validation

Security: All audit issues resolved. See .

⚙️ Operational Defaults

• Rate limiting: Requests are limited to ~2 req/sec per IP with a small burst (tower_governor). See HttpServer::new() in src/server/http.rs.
• Request timeouts: Each HTTP request has a 15s timeout via TimeoutLayer.
• Concurrency control: Ethereum RPC calls are limited via a semaphore (10 permits) with a 5s acquisition timeout to avoid indefinite waits.
• HTTP concurrency limit: The HTTP router is capped at 100 in-flight requests using ConcurrencyLimitLayer.
• Circuit breaker: External Ethereum RPC operations are executed through a circuit breaker to fail fast on repeated errors and auto-recover.
• RPC failover: If ETHEREUM_RPC_URLS is provided (CSV), the provider will attempt each URL in order until initialization succeeds.
• CORS: Configure allowed origins with CORS_ALLOW_ORIGINS ("*" or CSV list of origins).
• USDC address corrected: src/contracts.rs now uses the verified mainnet USDC address 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48.
• Security: No hardcoded credentials - all sensitive configuration via .env file. Never commit real keys.
• Nonce management: Thread-safe nonce allocation prevents blockchain transaction conflicts.
