How do I install the MERX - TRON Resource Exchange MCP server?

MERX - TRON Resource Exchange is a hosted endpoint at https://merx.exchange/mcp/sse, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 66 exposed · ~5,922 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
pay_invoice ~135

Pay an x402 invoice by signing and broadcasting a TRX transfer to the invoice address, then verifying the payment with the facilitator. x402 (Coinbase + Cloudflare HTTP 402 standard) is the protocol AI agents use to pay APIs per call. Use this when you receive an invoice_id from a paywalled service or another agent. REQUIRES: TRON_PRIVATE_KEY in env (use set_private_key first) AND a valid invoice_id from create_invoice or x402 challenge response. The transfer is signed locally — your private key never leaves the MCP process.

NameTypeReqDescription
invoice_idstringyesInvoice ID to pay

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

read_contract ~73

Call a view/pure function on a TRON smart contract. No auth or private key required.

NameTypeReqDescription
contract_addressstringyesContract TRON address.
function_selectorstringyesFunction signature, e.g. "balanceOf(address)".
parameterstringABI-encoded parameter hex (optional).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

register_agent ~128

Register your TRON address as an agent on agent.merx.exchange. Required ONCE before using request_payment, create_invoice, watch_address, agent_status, or any other agent payment tool. Pass the TRON address you want to use as the on-chain identity for this API key. Idempotent — calling twice with the same key returns the existing registration. Auth required (API key).

NameTypeReqDescription
labelstringOptional human-readable label (max 64 chars)
tron_addressstringyesYour TRON address (T...) that will receive payments and act as the agent identity.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

request_payment ~160

Create a TRC20 payment request on TRON (USDT, USDC, USDD, or any TRC20). Returns a payment address. Fires webhook when payment arrives (<3 seconds). Use for receiving payments from other agents or humans. Requires agent registration first — call register_agent if you get AGENT_NOT_REGISTERED error.

NameTypeReqDescription
amount_usdtstringyesAmount in token units (e.g. "5.00")
descriptionstringWhat this payment is for
timeout_secondsnumberWait timeout (10-3600, default 300)
tolerance_pctnumberAmount tolerance % (default 0 = exact)
webhook_urlstringURL to notify on payment (optional)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

resource_broadcast ~178

Broadcast a signed TRON transaction with automatic energy optimization. If the target address lacks sufficient energy, MERX purchases the deficit at the best market price before broadcasting. One call: estimate, buy energy, wait for delegation, broadcast. Requires MERX_API_KEY with the "broadcast" scope, and a pre-signed transaction. Returns txid on success, refunds on timeout. NOTE: This endpoint is currently behind a feature flag and disabled by default in production. If you get a 503 MAINTENANCE error, use the manual flow instead: call ensure_resources to provision energy, then sign and broadcast the transaction with your own TronWeb client.

NameTypeReqDescription
signed_txstringyesHex-encoded signed TRON transaction
target_addressstringyesTRON address that will execute the transaction (must match TX sender)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

search_transaction_history ~62

Get on-chain transaction history for a TRON address. No auth required.

NameTypeReqDescription
addressstringyesTRON address.
limitnumberMax results (default: 20).
typestringTransaction type filter (default: all).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

set_api_key ~60

Set your Merx API key for this session. Unlocks all authenticated tools (trading, balance, orders). Use this if you already have an API key.

NameTypeReqDescription
api_keystringyesYour Merx API key (starts with sk_live_)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

set_private_key ~77

Set your TRON private key for this session. Address is derived automatically. Enables write tools: transfer_trx, transfer_trc20, approve_trc20, execute_swap, deposit_trx. Key stays local - never sent to Merx servers.

NameTypeReqDescription
private_keystringyesYour TRON private key (64 hex characters)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

simulate ~110

Dry-run a multi-step operation (transfer, swap, buy resources, etc) without sending anything on-chain. Returns per-step energy and bandwidth estimates plus a total TRX cost. Use this to preview a plan before committing — for example, before transferring USDT to multiple recipients you can simulate to see the total energy cost. No auth required.

NameTypeReqDescription
resource_strategystringResource acquisition strategy (default: batch_cheapest).
stepsarrayyesArray of { action, params } steps to simulate.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

suggest_duration ~48

Recommend a rental duration based on your use case. No authentication required.

NameTypeReqDescription
transaction_countnumberExpected number of transactions (optional).
use_casestringyesYour intended use case.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

transfer_trc20 ~77

Transfer TRC-20 tokens with automatic energy optimization. Signs and broadcasts on-chain. Requires TRON_PRIVATE_KEY.

NameTypeReqDescription
amountstringyesAmount to transfer (human-readable).
to_addressstringyesRecipient TRON address.
tokenstringyesToken symbol (USDT, USDC) or contract address.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

transfer_trx ~65

Send TRX to an address. Checks bandwidth, buys via Merx if needed. Signs and broadcasts on-chain. Requires TRON_PRIVATE_KEY.

NameTypeReqDescription
amount_trxstringyesAmount of TRX to send.
to_addressstringyesRecipient TRON address.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

validate_address ~36

Validate a TRON address format and check on-chain status. No auth required.

NameTypeReqDescription
addressstringyesTRON address to validate.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

wait_for_delegation ~149

Block until an order reaches a terminal state (FILLED, PARTIAL, FAILED, or CANCELLED) by polling get_order at fixed intervals. Use this right after create_order when you need to confirm the energy/bandwidth has actually been delegated on-chain before sending the next transaction. Returns the final order details including the on-chain delegation tx hash. Auth required.

NameTypeReqDescription
order_idstringyesThe order UUID returned by create_order.
poll_interval_secnumberHow often to check status in seconds (default: 3, min: 1).
timeout_secnumberMaximum time to wait in seconds (default: 60, max: 300).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

watch_address ~127

Watch any TRON address for TRC20 transfers (USDT, USDC, USDD, or any token). Fires webhook on each matching transfer. Persistent - runs 24/7 even when conversation ends.

NameTypeReqDescription
addressstringyesTRON address to watch (T...)
event_typesarrayEvent types to watch
min_amount_usdtstringMinimum amount filter (default "0")
ttl_hoursnumberWatch duration in hours (1-720, default 24)
webhook_urlstringyesWebhook URL for notifications

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

withdraw ~216

Withdraw TRX or USDT from your Merx account to an external TRON address. The "amount" parameter is interpreted in the currency specified by "currency" — i.e. for currency=TRX it is TRX units, for currency=USDT it is USDT units. (The legacy parameter "amount_trx" is still accepted as an alias for backwards compatibility, but is misleading when currency is USDT — prefer "amount" in new code.) Requires MERX_API_KEY.

NameTypeReqDescription
addressstringyesDestination TRON address (starts with T).
amountstringAmount to withdraw, in units of the chosen currency. E.g. "100" with currency=TRX = 100 TRX, "100" with currency=USDT = 100 USDT.
amount_trxstringDEPRECATED alias for "amount" — kept for backwards compatibility. Pass "amount" instead in new code.
currencystringCurrency to withdraw. Default: TRX.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.
