What it does

Moonpay MCP is an agent skill from moonpay/skills. Set up MoonPay as an MCP server for Claude Desktop or Claude Code. Provides all MoonPay CLI tools via the Model Context Protocol.

Its SKILL.md is about 430 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Skills for AI agents to move money — on-ramps, swaps, wallets, deposits, and more via the MoonPay CLI. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve MCP servers

Example prompts

  • “/moonpay-mcp”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aa672ab. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm
    • claude

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Moonpay MCP loads about 425 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 153 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~425

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

setup

MoonPay MCP Setup

Goal

Configure the MoonPay CLI as an MCP server so Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP-compatible client can use all MoonPay tools directly.

Prerequisites

bash
npm i -g @moonpay/cli
mp login --email user@example.com
mp verify --email user@example.com --code <code>

Claude Code setup

bash
claude mcp add moonpay -- mp mcp

Claude Desktop setup

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "moonpay": {
      "command": "mp",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Then restart Claude Desktop.

What it provides

All MoonPay CLI tools are available as MCP tools:

  • Wallet management — create, import, list, retrieve, delete, export wallets
  • Token operations — search, retrieve, trending, swap, bridge, transfer
  • Fiat — buy crypto with card/bank, virtual accounts with on-ramp
  • x402 payments — paid API requests with automatic payment handling
  • Transactions — sign locally, send, list, retrieve

Verification

After setup, ask Claude: "What MoonPay tools do you have?" — it should list all available tools.

Auth

The MCP server uses the same credentials as the CLI (~/.config/moonpay/credentials.json). Run mp login --email <email> then mp verify --email <email> --code <code> to authenticate.

  • moonpay-auth — Login and wallet setup.
  • moonpay-discover-tokens — Search and analyze tokens.
  • moonpay-swap-tokens — Swap tokens.
