Discover tokens
Goal
Search for tokens, retrieve market data, generate trading briefs, and assess risk — all from one skill.
Commands
mp token search --query "BONK" --chain solana
mp token retrieve --token <mint-address> --chain solana
mp token trending list --chain solana
Supported chains
solana, ethereum, base, polygon, arbitrum, optimism
Workflow
- Search by name/symbol with
mp token search.
- Use the returned address to get details with
mp token retrieve.
- 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:
- Liquidity — Under $10K is a red flag.
- Volume pattern — Sudden spikes with no context = suspicious.
- Buy/sell ratio — Extremely one-sided trading = dump risk.
- Unique wallets — Very few unique wallets = concentrated activity.
- Market cap vs liquidity — Huge mcap with tiny liquidity = inflated, hard to exit.
- 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:
- User: "What's the price of BONK?"
- Run:
mp token search --query "BONK" --chain solana
- Present: name, symbol, price, 24h change, volume, liquidity.
Risk check:
- User: "Is BONK safe to buy?"
- Run:
mp token search --query "BONK" --chain solana then mp token retrieve --token <address> --chain solana
- Present risk indicators with ratings.
