What is Dune Mcp Server

Dune-MCP-Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects Dune Analytics data to AI agents, enabling access to decentralized exchange (DEX) metrics, EigenLayer operators, AVS statistics, and token balances on the Solana blockchain.

Use cases

Use cases for Dune-MCP-Server include building analytics dashboards for DEX performance, developing AI agents that analyze blockchain data, and providing insights into token liquidity and balances for financial applications.

How to use

To use Dune-MCP-Server, clone the repository, install dependencies using Bun or npm, set up your Dune Analytics API key in the environment variables, and run the server in development or production mode.

Key features

Key features include tools for retrieving DEX pair metrics, finding token pairs with the highest liquidity, accessing token balances on Solana, and obtaining statistics for EigenLayer AVS and its operators. All results are returned in structured JSON format.

Where to use

Dune-MCP-Server can be used in the fields of decentralized finance (DeFi), blockchain analytics, and AI-driven data processing, particularly for applications involving DEX metrics and Solana token balances.

Dune Analytics MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that bridges Dune Analytics data to AI agents, providing access to DEX metrics, EigenLayer operators and AVS stats, and token balances on Solana. The tools utilize the preset endpoints and echo endpoints provided by Dune.

Features

• Tools:
  • get_dex_pair_metrics: Get essential metadata and statistical data for a given token pair on a specific chain
  • get_token_pairs_liquidity: Find the token pair with the highest USD liquidity on a given chain
  • get_svm_token_balances: Get token balances for a specific wallet address on Solana
  • get_eigenlayer_avs_metrics: Get statistics for a specific AVS
  • get_eigenlayer_operator_metrics: Get statistics for all operators in a specific AVS
• Data Formats: All results are returned in structured JSON format for easy processing

Prerequisites

• Node.js 16+ or Bun 1.0+
• A valid Dune Analytics API key (get one from Dune Analytics)

Installation

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ekailabs/dune-mcp-server.git
   cd dune-mcp-server
   

2. Install Dependencies:
   Using Bun:

   bun install
   

   Or using npm:

   npm install
   

3. Set Up Environment Variables:
   Create a .env file in the project root based on .env.example:

   DUNE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
   

   Alternatively, set it as a system environment variable:

   export DUNE_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
   

Usage

Running the Server

Using Bun:

# Development mode with hot reload
bun dev

# Production mode
bun start

# Or build and run
bun build src/index.ts --outdir dist
bun dist/index.js

Using npm:

# Development mode with hot reload
npm run dev

# Production mode

   • Description: Identifies the token pair with the highest USD liquidity on a given chain
   • Input: chain (string) - The blockchain to get the DEX stats for
   • Output: JSON object containing top token pair metrics

3. get_svm_token_balances(wallet_address)

   • Description: Gets the balances of a specific wallet address on the Solana blockchain
   • Input: wallet_address (string) - The address of the wallet to get the balance for
   • Output: JSON array of token balances

4. get_eigenlayer_avs_metrics(avs_name)

   • Description: Gets the statistics for a specific AVS
   • Input: avs_name (string) - The name of the AVS to get the stats for
   • Output: JSON object containing AVS metrics

5. get_eigenlayer_operator_metrics(avs_name)

   • Description: Gets the statistics for all operators in a specific AVS
   • Input: avs_name (string) - The name of the AVS to get operator stats for
   • Output: JSON object containing operator metrics

Example Commands in Claude for Desktop

• “Can you please give me the liquidity of ‘USDC-WETH’ token pair on ethereum?”
• “Show me the highest liquidity token pair on arbitrum”
• “Can you please plot the stake distribution of EigenDA operators?”
• “How many stakers are there on EigenDA AVS”

Running evals

The evals package loads an mcp client that then runs the index.ts file, so there is no need to rebuild between tests. You can load environment variables by prefixing the npx command. Full documentation can be found here.

OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key  npx mcp-eval src/evals/evals.ts src/index.ts
