Claim this listing →Overview
MERX MCP is a community MCP server for TRON infrastructure, listed in the MCP Registry, that runs either as a hosted SSE endpoint or locally over stdio. It exposes tools for TRON energy and bandwidth pricing, resource optimization, and TRC-20 stablecoin payment workflows. An agent builder plugs it in to give an agent TRON resource-cost awareness and stablecoin payment handling without integrating TRON APIs directly.

Live probe verifies the interface responds — not what the tools do, their safety, or their output quality. The call is one read-only tool named by this server's own list (list_/get_/search_, no mutating verb anywhere in the name, no required arguments and none that look like a key, an address or an amount), asked once a day with no arguments. Not asked is not a failure.

This is the share of our daily checks that succeeded — not an availability guarantee. A check can fail because the host was down, because our runner timed out, or because the network in between dropped it, and only the first of those is a fact about this project. Failures are split by what we can attribute; anything we cannot attribute is counted, not hidden. 46 of these checks predate 2026-09-01, when the probe counted a bot-block (HTTP 403) as a failure and recorded no reason for any failure. Every one of them passed, so the rate covers them too.
Last 30 days — to 2026-10-15, one point per UTC day
A gap is a day we have no attributable observation — never a zero. Thirty points is the whole shape the free layer carries; the daily rows behind it stay in the snapshot series.

Questions people ask about MERX MCP
- Is MERX MCP open source?
- Yes. MERX MCP is open source under the MIT license; the repository is https://github.com/Hovsteder/merx-mcp. Checked as of 2026-10-15.
- Which chains does MERX MCP support?
- MERX MCP lists support for Tron as of 2026-10-15.
- Is MERX MCP still maintained?
- The most recent code activity Sato Hub observed was on 2026-04-08 (last commit 2026-04-08, last release 2026-04-02), which Sato Hub labels "Quiet". Posts on X are not counted as maintenance. Activity is a recency signal, not a quality judgment.
- How do I install or run MERX MCP?
- Node.js 18+ (for local stdio mode). Install: npm install -g merx. Entry: npx merx-mcp. This is taken from the project's own documentation and has not been reproduced by Sato Hub. It runs as an MCP server (hosted SSE: https://merx.exchange/mcp/sse (22 read-only tools, no key needed); local: npx merx-mcp).
- Is MERX MCP verified on Sato Hub?
- Sato Hub holds one earned check for MERX MCP: Live endpoint probed — we called the hosted MCP endpoint and it answered with its real tool inventory (proves the interface works, not runtime safety). Its Sato Score is 84 of 100, a measure of how open, active and verifiable the project is, not a safety, quality or returns grade.
