🦄 Uniswap MCP Server Rust 🦀

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server in Rust that exposes Uniswap Trade API quotes as a tool for AI clients. Built with the official Rust SDK RMCP (rmcp on crates.io).

Prerequisites

• Rust toolchain (cargo, rustc)
• A Uniswap Trade API key as UNISWAP_API_KEY (see Uniswap docs)

Configuration

Create a .env file next to Cargo.toml (or export the variable in your shell):

UNISWAP_API_KEY=your_key_here

The server loads .env at startup using the crate manifest directory, so it works when MCP hosts run the binary from another working directory.

Build

cargo build --release

How it works

• Transport: stdio (standard for local MCP: the host spawns this process and speaks JSON-RPC over stdin/stdout).
• SDK: rmcp with server + transport-io.
• Tool: uniswap_swap_quote — calls POST https://trade-api.gateway.uniswap.org/v1/quote with your API key and returns the JSON quote (pretty-printed text). Use token_in_preset to pick the asset you sell on Ethereum mainnet without typing addresses: native_eth, usdc, usdt, wbtc, dai, weth. If you set a preset, it overrides token_in; otherwise pass a full token_in address.

Async runtime: Tokio (required by RMCP and reqwest).

Using with an MCP client

Point your MCP host at the compiled binary. Example for Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json or global MCP settings):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "uniswap": {
      "command": "/absolute/path/to/uniswap-api-rust/target/release/uniswap-mcp-server-rust",
      "env": {
        "UNISWAP_API_KEY": "your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

You can omit env if UNISWAP_API_KEY is already in the environment.

To debug with the official inspector (see RMCP examples):

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector /absolute/path/to/target/debug/uniswap-mcp-server-rust

Example to test

Run the commands from the previous section and open the MCP Inspector in your browser.

1. Enter the following values as example

"tokenIn": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000", // ETH
"tokenOut": "0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7", // USDT
"tokenInChainId": 1,
"tokenOutChainId": 1,
"type": "EXACT_INPUT",
"amount": "1000000000000000000", // 1 ETH in wei
"swapper": "0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045", // User's wallet address (vitalik.eth)

2. Click on the "Run Tool" button

Learning steps

• MCP server over stdio with RMCP
• Async quote tool via Uniswap Trade API
• Make it I can enter different commands while it is running (start, stop, unicorns)
• Try to use functionalities from the allow web3 library for Rust.
• Extend with more tools (e.g. supported chains, token metadata)
