This one needs environment variables set before it will start: MERX_API_KEY (API key from merx.exchange. Unlocks trading, balance, standing orders, and monitors.), TRON_PRIVATE_KEY (TRON wallet private key for signing transactions. Never sent to any server. Enables transfers, swaps, and contract calls.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Available tools 66

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

standing

create_standing_order

Create a server-side standing order with trigger-based automation. Auth required.

get_standing_order

Get full details of a single standing order by its UUID. Returns trigger config, action params, budget, executions count, and status. Auth required (API key).

list_standing_orders

List all standing orders with optional status filter. Auth required.

transaction

get_transaction

Look up a transaction by ID on TRON. No auth required.

get_transaction_history

Get your Merx account transaction history. Requires MERX_API_KEY.

search_transaction_history

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

account

create_account

Create a new Merx account, generate an API key, and get deposit info. No auth needed.

get_account_info

Inspect any TRON address. Aliases: check_address, get_address_info, get_wallet_info, address_info, account_status. Read the full on-chain state of ANY TRON address (does not have to be your own): TRX balance, free + delegated energy, free + delegated bandwidth, frozen TRX, account creation timestamp. Use this to check if an address has enough resources before sending a transaction, or to inspect any TRON wallet. No auth required, no API key needed.

cancel

cancel_monitor

Cancel an active monitor by its UUID. The monitor stops firing notifications. Auth required (API key).

cancel_standing_order

Cancel a standing order by its UUID. The order is moved to CANCELLED status and will not trigger again. Already-executed actions are NOT reversed. Auth required (API key).

contract

get_contract_info

Get on-chain metadata for a TRON smart contract: existence check, owner address, energy origin, code hash, contract name (if set), ABI entries count. Use this to check whether an address is a contract before calling read_contract or estimate_contract_call. For TRC20-specific metadata (name, symbol, decimals, totalSupply) use get_token_info instead. No auth required.

read_contract

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

deposit

deposit_trx

Deposit TRX to your Merx account. Requires MERX_API_KEY + TRON_PRIVATE_KEY.

get_deposit_info

Get your Merx deposit address and memo. Requires MERX_API_KEY.

estimate

estimate_contract_call

Estimate energy and bandwidth cost for a smart contract call. Compares rental vs burn cost. No auth required.

estimate_transaction_cost

Estimate cost of a TRON transaction BEFORE sending. Aliases: estimate_cost, calculate_cost, transaction_cost, energy_cost, transfer_cost. Calculate exactly how much energy, bandwidth, and TRX a TRON transaction will cost before sending it. Use this to answer questions like "how much does a USDT transfer cost?" or "what will it cost me to send 100 USDT to address X?". Returns: energy units needed, bandwidth needed, TRX cost if you burn directly, and TRX cost if you rent energy from Merx (typically 70-80% cheaper). Supports trc20_transfer (e.g. USDT/USDC), trc20_approve, trx_transfer, and custom contract calls. No auth required.

execute

execute_intent

Plan a multi-step operation (transfer, swap, buy resources, etc) and return a cost estimate, total energy/bandwidth needed, and the cheapest resource acquisition strategy. NOTE: actual on-chain execution of multi-step intents is not yet wired up — currently returns the same plan as simulate, regardless of dry_run. Use this for planning; for real execution call the underlying tools (create_order, transfer_trc20, execute_swap) yourself in sequence. Auth required.

execute_swap

Execute a token swap on SunSwap V2. Requires TRON_PRIVATE_KEY.

order

create_order

Buy energy or bandwidth on Merx. Routed to cheapest provider. Auth required.

get_order

Get order status by UUID. Aliases: get_order_status, check_order, order_status, order_details, fetch_order. Check the status and fill details of an existing order by its UUID. Returns current status (PENDING/FILLING/FILLED/PARTIAL/FAILED/CANCELLED), fill amounts, provider used, on-chain delegation tx hash if delivered. Use this to poll order progress after creating an order. Auth required (API key).

token

get_token_info

Get TRC-20 token metadata: name, symbol, decimals, total supply. No auth required.

get_token_price

Get token price via SunSwap quote + CoinGecko USD rate. No auth required.

transfer

transfer_trc20

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

transfer_trx

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

trx

get_trx_balance

Quick TRX balance for a TRON address. No auth required.

get_trx_price

Get current TRX price from CoinGecko. No auth required.

address

check_address_resources

Check energy, bandwidth, and TRX balance for any TRON address. No auth required.

agent

agent_status

Get a snapshot of your agent payment service: registered TRON address, count of pending payment requests (request_payment), active address watches (watch_address), and outstanding invoices (create_invoice). Use this right after register_agent to confirm the agent is set up, or any time you want to see how much in-flight activity your agent has. Auth required (API key) and agent must be registered first via register_agent.

analyze

analyze_prices

Market price analysis with trends and recommendations. No auth required.

api

set_api_key

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

approve

approve_trc20

Approve TRC-20 spending allowance. Signs and broadcasts on-chain. Requires TRON_PRIVATE_KEY.

balance

get_balance

Get your Merx account balance (TRX, USDT, locked). Requires MERX_API_KEY.

best

get_best_price

Quick lookup of the single cheapest provider for a resource type, with optional minimum amount filter. CAVEAT: this returns a single representative price per provider, not broken down by duration tier — short rentals (5min) and long rentals (30 days) have very different per-unit prices and this tool does not distinguish between them. For an accurate per-tier comparison, use get_prices(duration=N) where N is the exact rental duration in seconds (e.g. 3600 for 1h, 86400 for 1d, 2592000 for 30d). Use get_best_price only when you need the absolute floor price as a quick sanity-check. No auth required.

block

get_block

Get TRON block info by number (or latest if omitted). No auth required.

calculate

calculate_savings

Calculate savings from renting energy vs burning TRX. No authentication required.

call

call_contract

Execute a state-changing smart contract function. Estimates resources, buys via Merx if needed. Requires TRON_PRIVATE_KEY and TRON_ADDRESS.

chain

get_chain_parameters

Get TRON network parameters (energy fee, bandwidth cost, etc.) with Merx price comparison. No auth required.

compare

compare_providers

Side-by-side provider comparison with prices and availability. No auth required.

compile

compile_policy

Convert a natural language energy management policy into MERX automation. Creates standing orders and monitors based on your instructions. Examples: - "Keep 500k energy on my wallet, buy when price is below 55 SUN, max 200 TRX/week" - "Buy energy every day at 6 AM UTC, 1 million units, for 24 hours" - "Alert me when my energy drops below 100k" Returns a preview of what will be created. Set apply=true to execute.

convert

convert_address

Convert TRON address between base58 (T...) and hex (41...) formats. No auth required.

enable

enable_auto_deposit

Configure automatic top-up when balance drops below a threshold. The configuration lives ONLY in the current MCP session — it is held in memory by the MCP server process and is lost on server restart, MCP client reconnect, or server redeploy. Top-ups are signed locally with TRON_PRIVATE_KEY and sent to your Merx deposit address (memo-routed). For persistent auto-deposit you currently need to call this tool again at the start of each session.

ensure

ensure_resources

Declarative resource provisioning. Checks current resources on target address and purchases only what is missing. Auth required.

explain

explain_concept

Explain a TRON or Merx concept in plain language. Hardcoded topics (exact match): energy, bandwidth, staking, delegation, sun_units, burn_vs_rent, merx_routing, provider_types. The lookup is fuzzy — substring matches also work, so "rent" finds "burn_vs_rent" and "providers" finds "provider_types". For topics outside this list (e.g. x402, stablecoins, gasfree), pick the closest hardcoded topic, or just answer the question yourself from the broader context — this tool only returns canned explanations of TRON resource economics.

invoice

create_invoice

Create an invoice for another agent or human to pay. Returns payment URL, address, and QR code. Payment is detected automatically via ZeroMQ (<3 seconds).

login

lookup

lookup_invoice

Look up a MERX invoice. Shows amount, recipient, token, and status. Agent must sign and broadcast the transfer separately (non-custodial).

monitor

create_monitor

Create a persistent server-side monitor that fires notifications when a condition is met. Four monitor types: delegation_expiry (warns when leased energy is about to expire so you can re-rent), balance_threshold (fires when an address goes below a TRX/USDT level), price_alert (fires when energy/bandwidth price crosses a SUN threshold), address_activity (fires on any incoming TX). Notification defaults to webhook=true if omitted. Auth required (API key).

monitors

list_monitors

List all monitors you created with create_monitor, optionally filtered by status (ACTIVE/CANCELLED). Each row shows the full monitor UUID (pass to cancel_monitor), monitor type, target address, and status. Note: the Target column will be empty for monitor types that do not have a single watched address — specifically price_alert and balance_threshold (when watching the API key holder rather than a third-party address). For delegation_expiry and address_activity monitors, Target will always be set. Auth required (API key).

orders

list_orders

List recent orders with optional status filter. Auth required.

paid

create_paid_order

Create a zero-registration order via x402 pay-per-use. Requires TRON_PRIVATE_KEY.

pay

pay_invoice

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.

price

get_price_history

Historical price snapshots. No auth required.

prices

get_prices

Get current energy and bandwidth prices from all Merx providers, sorted by best (minimum) price across all duration tiers. Each provider lists ALL its duration tiers (5min/1h/1d/7d/30d etc) — short rentals are usually more expensive per unit than long ones, so always check tier-by-tier. Optionally filter by exact duration in seconds. No auth required.

private

set_private_key

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.

providers

list_providers

List all Merx providers with types, durations, and availability. No authentication required.

register_agent

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).

request

request_payment

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.

resource

resource_broadcast

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.

simulate

simulate

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.

suggest

suggest_duration

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

swap

get_swap_quote

Get a real swap quote from SunSwap V2. No auth required.

trc20

get_trc20_balance

Get TRC-20 token balance for an address. Supports symbol (USDT, USDC) or contract address. No auth required.

validate

validate_address

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

wait

wait_for_delegation

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.

watch

watch_address

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.

withdraw

withdraw

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.

MERX - TRON Resource Exchange — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can MERX - TRON Resource Exchange do?

It exposes 66 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: agent_status, analyze_prices, approve_trc20, calculate_savings, call_contract, cancel_monitor and 60 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

What is MERX - TRON Resource Exchange mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around transaction, standing and execute. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is MERX - TRON Resource Exchange working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 214 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect MERX - TRON Resource Exchange?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does MERX - TRON Resource Exchange need an API key?

No. MERX - TRON Resource Exchange completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 66 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is MERX - TRON Resource Exchange?

It answers our handshake in 214 ms on average, which is faster than 64% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

How many people use MERX - TRON Resource Exchange?

The npm package merx-mcp was installed 152 times in the last week. Week over week that is +50%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is MERX - TRON Resource Exchange open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 3 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
