📖 Overview

MCP Server — Lighter is a Model Context Protocol server for the Lighter DEX API that exposes trading volume, campaign points, leaderboard rank, liquidity and airdrop eligibility as MCP tools for any MCP-compatible LLM agent. It works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Cline — an Ethereum L2 perpetual futures DEX integration that lets you query Lighter volume, points, rank, and airdrop eligibility from Claude in natural language, built on the official MCP Python SDK.

Instead of copy-pasting wallet addresses into a web dashboard, your AI assistant calls the tools directly and reasons about your farming progress in plain language — natural-language access to Lighter airdrop farming stats with structured tool outputs for AI agents and LLM workflows:

"You're at $142,800 campaign volume — BRONZE tier, 95% of the way to SILVER ($150k). Keep your maker ratio above 50% and provide liquidity for 9 more days to also satisfy the liquidity criterion."

⚠️ Read-only — public endpoints only, no keys. The server exposes data tools only — no trading, no signing.

🚀 Quick start

git clone https://github.com/isabelpapaya/mcp-server-lighter.git
cd mcp-server-lighter
pip install -r requirements.txt

python main.py --demo      # stdio transport, bundled demo wallet

Or use the one-click launchers (they unpack a bundled standalone interpreter on first run):

run.bat        :: Windows

chmod +x run.sh && ./run.sh    # Linux / macOS

🔌 Connect your client

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lighter": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["C:\\path\\to\\mcp-server-lighter\\main.py", "--demo"]
    }
  }
}

Cline / Cursor / Continue

Point the client at the server over stdio with the same command — see your client's MCP settings page.

❓ FAQ

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol — an open standard for connecting LLMs to external tools and data sources. See modelcontextprotocol.io.

Does the server trade on my behalf?

No. It exposes read-only data tools. An LLM can summarise your farming progress and suggest next steps, but it cannot place orders through this server.

Is this affiliated with Lighter or Anthropic?

No. Independent, unofficial community project. Lighter is a third-party protocol; MCP is an open standard.
