"Found 3 promising new tokens:
🚀 $ROCKET (0x123...): 2M volume, bullish OHLCV pattern, 85% liquidity locked
📈 Entry: $0.0001 (current support level)
💰 Size: 2% portfolio allocation
🛡️ Stop: $0.000085 (-15%)
🎯 Target: $0.00015 (+50%)
Executing gasless swap now..."

## 🚀 Quick Start

### **Installation**

```bash

npx defi-trading-mcp --create-wallet
```

This generates a new wallet with private key and address for secure trading.

## ⚙️ Configuration

### **Required Keys**

- `USER_PRIVATE_KEY`: Your private key (for signing transactions locally, stays local, never transmitted)
- `USER_ADDRESS`: Your Ethereum wallet address
- `COINGECKO_API_KEY`: CoinGecko API key for market data ([How to get your CoinGecko API key](./gecko.md))

### **Optional Configuration**

- `ALCHEMY_API_KEY`: Add an Alchemy API key to use your own RPCs, otherwise public rpcs will be used.

### **🔧 Premium RPC Integration**

Your `ALCHEMY_API_KEY` automatically enables premium RPCs for:

- **15 Major Chains**: Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, BSC, Avalanche, Worldchain, Berachain, Blast, Linea, Scroll, Mantle, Ink, MonadTestnet
- **Enhanced Performance**: Lower latency, better uptime
- **Automatic Fallback**: Public RPCs for other chains

### **🔒 Security**

- Private keys remain on your device
- No sensitive data transmitted to external servers
- Secure transaction signing locally

### **MEV Protection**

- **Ethereum transactions** are protected from MEV attacks, sandwich attacks, and front-running
- **Private mempool routing** ensures your trades aren't visible to MEV bots
- **Fair pricing** without manipulation from malicious actors
- **Automatic protection** - no additional configuration required

## 🔧 MCP Client Setup

### **Kiro IDE**

**Step 1: Install the MCP**

```bash
npm install -g defi-trading-mcp
```

Add to `~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "defi-trading": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["defi-trading-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "USER_PRIVATE_KEY": "your_private_key_here",
        "USER_ADDRESS": "0xYourWalletAddress",
        "COINGECKO_API_KEY": "CG-your_coingecko_api_key",
        "ALCHEMY_API_KEY": "your_alchemy_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### **Claude Code**

Add the MCP to Claude Code using the command line:

**Step 1: Install the MCP**

```bash
npm install -g defi-trading-mcp
```

**Step 2: Add to Claude Code - Replace the placeholders with your environment variables**

**For macOS/Linux/WSL:**

```bash
claude mcp add defi-trading \
  -e USER_PRIVATE_KEY=your_private_key_here \
  -e USER_ADDRESS=0xYourWalletAddress \
  -e COINGECKO_API_KEY=CG-your_coingecko_api_key \
  -e ALCHEMY_API_KEY=your_alchemy_api_key \
  -- npx defi-trading-mcp
```

**For Windows (native, not WSL):**

```bash
claude mcp add defi-trading \
  -e USER_PRIVATE_KEY=your_private_key_here \
  -e USER_ADDRESS=0xYourWalletAddress \
  -e COINGECKO_API_KEY=CG-your_coingecko_api_key \
  -e ALCHEMY_API_KEY=your_alchemy_api_key \
  -- cmd /c npx defi-trading-mcp
```

> **Windows Note**: The `cmd /c` wrapper is required on native Windows to prevent "Connection closed" errors when using npx.

**Step 3: Verify the MCP is added**

```bash
claude mcp list
```

**Step 4: Update wallet details (if needed)**
If you need to update your private key or wallet address after initial setup:

```bash
# Remove existing configuration
claude mcp remove defi-trading

# Add back with updated wallet details
claude mcp add defi-trading \
  -e USER_PRIVATE_KEY=your_new_private_key \
  -e USER_ADDRESS=0xYourNewWalletAddress \
  -e COINGECKO_API_KEY=CG-your_coingecko_api_key \
  -e ALCHEMY_API_KEY=your_alchemy_api_key \
  -- npx defi-trading-mcp
