Discover tokens

Goal

Search for tokens, retrieve market data, generate trading briefs, and assess risk — all from one skill.

Commands

# Search by name or symbol
mp token search --query "BONK" --chain solana

# Get full details for a specific token
mp token retrieve --token <mint-address> --chain solana

# See what's trending
mp token trending list --chain solana

Supported chains

solana, ethereum, base, polygon, arbitrum, optimism

Workflow

1. Search by name/symbol with mp token search.
2. Use the returned address to get details with mp token retrieve.
3. Assess risk and generate a brief from the market data.

Trading brief format

When the user wants a brief or analysis, format the output like:

BONK (DezX...pump) — mcap $850M, liq $12M, vol24 $45M
  momentum: 1h +2.3%, 4h -0.5%, 24h +8.1%
  activity: trades24 12,500, wallets24 3,200
  note: healthy volume, broad wallet distribution

Risk assessment

When the user asks "is this safe?" or wants to evaluate an unknown token, check these indicators from the market data:

1. Liquidity — Under $10K is a red flag.
2. Volume pattern — Sudden spikes with no context = suspicious.
3. Buy/sell ratio — Extremely one-sided trading = dump risk.
4. Unique wallets — Very few unique wallets = concentrated activity.
5. Market cap vs liquidity — Huge mcap with tiny liquidity = inflated, hard to exit.
6. Price volatility — Extreme short-term swings (>50% in 1h) = high risk.

Present a risk summary with traffic-light ratings. This is a heuristic check based on market data, not a smart contract audit — always recommend caution with unknown tokens.

Example flows

Price check:

1. User: "What's the price of BONK?"
2. Run: mp token search --query "BONK" --chain solana
3. Present: name, symbol, price, 24h change, volume, liquidity.

Risk check:

1. User: "Is BONK safe to buy?"
2. Run: mp token search --query "BONK" --chain solana then mp token retrieve --token <address> --chain solana
3. Present risk indicators with ratings.
