Details
From the project READMEBase Memecoin Guard MCP
Memecoin safety and smart money for Base trading agents. Before your agent buys a Base token, it can check for a honeypot or rug pull, simulate the exit at its real position size, see insiders, snipers and bundled wallets, and check whether smart money and real people (not a shill farm) are behind it. After it buys, a watch alerts on liquidity pulls, dev dumps and exit traps.
- Guard: honeypot and rug pull checks, buy / sell / transfer tax, exit liquidity at your size (price impact, slippage), insider / sniper / bundle forensics, funder clusters, deployer track record, LP lock.
- Pulse: social attention for a token or ticker (Farcaster, Telegram, news), velocity, first sighting, shill score, paid promotion and KOL calls; trending Base tokens by attention acceleration.
- Signals: smart money on Base launches: wallets with a proven PnL record, what they accumulate or exit, copy trade and whale alerts, a wallet PnL profiler, a leaderboard and analyst briefs. The track record is public and hash-chained.
- Watch: monitor an open position for 24 h / 72 h / 7 days. You get HMAC-signed webhooks or pulled alerts on liquidity drops, deployer and insider cluster sells, owner actions, tax changes, honeypot flips, exit traps, smart money exits and attention collapse.
Pay per call with x402: USDC on Base, from your own wallet, within a per-call cap and a
session budget you set. Seven tools are free and work without any wallet. Start with guard_preview.
