// key findings

✅

No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation

Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.

✅

Open source with a license and README

Anyone can audit the code, the license is declared, and the publisher documents what it does.

🔐

You'll be asked for 1 credential: WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY

These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.

// environment variables

To run this server yourself, you supply these values. They go in your own MCP client configuration and stay on your machine. The secret label means the value is sensitive, not that the server mishandles it.

🔐 secretWALLET_PRIVATE_KEYmust be a dedicated low-balance wallet holding a small amount of USDC on Base mainnet — never your primary wallet. get_endpoint_spec works without one.
