MAIN MCP Server
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the MAIN DEX on Base. Provides AI agents (Claude, Cursor, etc.) with tools to interact with the protocol: swap tokens, manage liquidity, enter/exit ALM strategies, and more.
Connecting to Claude
Claude Code:
claude mcp add main-mcp --transport http https://api.main.exchange/mcp
MCP Protocol
The server implements MCP spec 2025-03-26 over Streamable HTTP transport.

x402 Payments
Some tools require USDC payment via the x402 protocol. When a paid tool is called without payment, the server responds with a JSON-RPC error containing payment requirements (amount, recipient, network). x402-compatible clients handle this automatically.
Paid tools: createPool, launchToken
