web3juice-mcp

Name: Web3Juice
Author: web3juice

Evidence-backed DeFi yield data for your AI assistant. Ask Claude, Cursor or any MCP client what ~17,000 DeFi pools pay, where the yield comes from (base vs reward tokens), how it has moved over 90 days and how pools compare — with every number dated and linked to its source.

This package is a tiny, dependency-free bridge from a local stdio MCP client to the hosted Web3Juice MCP server at https://web3juice.com/api/mcp. Clients that support remote servers can connect to that URL directly; see web3juice.com/mcp.

Read-only: it never sees a wallet's keys, signs a transaction or moves funds. Not financial advice.

Quick start

Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, then add:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "web3juice": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "web3juice-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop and ask: "What does USDC lending pay on each chain right now?"

Requires Node.js 18.17 or newer.

With an API key (higher limits, your own alerts and notebook on Pro)

Create a key on your Web3Juice account page and add it as an environment variable:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "web3juice": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "web3juice-mcp"],
      "env": {"WEB3JUICE_API_KEY": "w3j_your_key_here"}
    }
  }
}

Configuration

Variable	Default	Purpose
`WEB3JUICE_API_KEY`	none	Optional key (`w3j_…`). Without it you get the free limits.
`WEB3JUICE_MCP_URL`	`https://web3juice.com/api/mcp`	Server URL. Must be `https://` (plain `http` only for localhost).
`WEB3JUICE_MCP_DEBUG`	off	Set to `1` to log to stderr.

Security

The bridge writes only MCP messages to stdout; diagnostics go to stderr.
Your API key is sent only to the configured HTTPS URL, in the Authorization header. It is never logged.
Keys can only read. Revoke a key at any time on your account page; the next call fails with a clear message.
Pool names and labels come from third-party data sources and are treated as data, not instructions.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
`npx` not found / server fails to start	Install Node.js 18.17+ from nodejs.org, then restart your client.
"API key is not valid or has been revoked"	Create a new key on your account page and update `WEB3JUICE_API_KEY`.
"Daily MCP limit reached"	Wait until 00:00 UTC, add a key, or upgrade at web3juice.com/pricing.
Search returns nothing	Results default to pools with at least $100K TVL and data under 60 minutes old; ask for smaller pools or older data.
Rates look 100× too big	Filters use fractions: 0.05 means 5%.
