Monorail MCP Server

The Monorail MCP Server is a ready‑made bridge that lets AI assistants tap into Monorail’s comprehensive market data and trading services. By exposing a Model Context Protocol interface, the server translates natural‑language requests from an AI into calls against Monorail’s REST APIs, which aggregate liquidity from 11 major exchanges and cover more than 7,000 tokens. This eliminates the need for developers to write custom connectors or maintain API keys across multiple services, allowing them to focus on building higher‑level conversational flows.

At its core, the server offers three primary capabilities: retrieving token metadata (such as decimals, symbol and name), querying account balances for supported wallets, and generating trade quotes. When a user asks the AI for “the best price to swap 100 USDC for DAI,” the server forwards that request to Monorail’s quote endpoint, receives a structured response with expected output amounts and the transaction payload, and feeds it back to the assistant. The payload can then be handed off to a wallet or smart‑contract execution layer, although the server itself does not perform any signing or broadcasting.

Key features that developers will appreciate include:

• Unified data source – All price and liquidity information comes from a single API, so the AI can present consistent, up‑to‑date quotes without juggling multiple exchange endpoints.
• Token coverage – With support for over 7,000 tokens, the server can handle niche or newly launched assets that might be missing from other libraries.
• Balance querying – The server can read on‑chain balances for any supported address, enabling the AI to provide portfolio summaries or alert users of insufficient funds.
• Extensible MCP interface – Because it follows the standard MCP specification, the server can be added to any compliant client (Claude Desktop, OpenAI’s MCP wrapper, etc.) with minimal configuration.

Real‑world use cases abound: a decentralized finance (DeFi) chatbot that helps users swap tokens on the fly, an automated portfolio manager that rebalances holdings based on market conditions, or a trading assistant that surfaces arbitrage opportunities across exchanges. In each scenario, the MCP server handles the heavy lifting of data aggregation and quote generation, allowing developers to concentrate on the conversational logic and user experience.

What sets Monorail’s MCP Server apart is its focus on speed of integration. The project ships with a fully built, pre‑configured MCP server that can be dropped into an existing client in minutes. The dedicated Discord channel and active issue tracker further lower the barrier to experimentation, ensuring that developers can quickly iterate on new features or report bugs. For anyone looking to empower an AI assistant with real‑time crypto market data and trade execution support, the Monorail MCP Server offers a robust, turnkey solution.
