🛡️ RugCheck AI — On-chain Token Safety for Solana AI Agents
A lightweight MCP server that reads a Solana token's mint directly from the chain to screen for the common rug & honeypot traps before your agent trades — active mint/freeze authority and dangerous Token-2022 extensions (permanent delegate, transfer hooks, non-transferable, pausable) — then, for tokens that pass, builds the buy as an unsigned Jupiter transaction carrying a small Jito tip for faster inclusion. You sign it; the server never holds keys.
Quickstart (30 seconds)
No install, no API key. Point your agent at the remote endpoint:
https://web-production-58d585.up.railway.app/mcp
Then ask one question before any buy:
scan_token("DezXAZ8z7PnrnRJjz3wXBoRgixCa6xjnB7YaB1pPB263") # BONK
→ { verdict: "SAFE", safety_score: 100, sellable: true, risks: ["no red flags found"] }
SAFE → clear. CAUTION → read the risks. DANGER → don't buy. That's the whole loop.
See it catch a rug
Three real mainnet tokens, one scan_token call each (scanned 2026-06-17 — re-run to verify, live state changes):
The honeypot is the one that matters: you could buy it and never sell. RugCheck AI flags it before your
agent spends a cent — even though the token is too new to be indexed anywhere else. Even USDC comes back
CAUTION, not SAFE, because the issuer can still freeze your balance — the verdict tells you the truth, not
a marketing label.

Why
Most agents trade Solana tokens blind. RugCheck AI calls getAccountInfo on the mint and reads the
authorities and Token-2022 extensions itself, so you get a real verdict on a fresh launch instead of
unknown — and a live mint or freeze authority is flagged before you buy, not after.
Use it when
Your agent needs to answer, before it spends a cent:
- Is this Solana token safe to buy — or is it a rug pull?
- Is this a honeypot — will I actually be able to sell after I buy?
- Does the mint have an active freeze / mint authority that can trap or dilute me?
- Is there a hidden Token-2022 trap (permanent delegate, transfer hook) that can drain me?
- Pre-trade screening / token due-diligence for an autonomous trading agent.
Built for AI trading agents, snipers and bots that buy SPL / Token-2022 tokens and need a fast on-chain rug check before entering — then a screened Jupiter route once a token clears.
FAQ
How do I check if a Solana token is safe to buy?
Call scan_token(mint) — one call returns a SAFE / CAUTION / DANGER verdict covering mint/freeze
authority, Token-2022 traps, honeypot (sellability), liquidity and holder concentration, plus a
0–100 safety score.
How do I detect a honeypot before buying?
simulate_sell(mint) checks whether a live sell route exists — a token with no route is effectively
a honeypot even when nothing on-chain formally blocks selling.
How do I check holder concentration / whale dump risk?
holders_breakdown(mint) reports the largest wallets and what share of supply they control — high
concentration means one holder can crash the price on you.
How do I know if a token is a rug pull?
rug_forecast(mint) gives a heuristic rug probability and urgency window from real signals
(authority, Token-2022 traps, concentration, sell pressure, age). check_authorities and
check_deployer show exactly who holds power over the token.
Does it work on fresh / newly launched tokens?
Yes — it reads the mint directly on-chain (getAccountInfo), so you get a real verdict on a token
too new to be indexed elsewhere. token_age shows freshness and real trading activity.
Does it touch my wallet or sign anything?
No. Screening is read-only; execute_safe_swap only builds an UNSIGNED transaction for you to sign —
the server never holds keys, never signs, never sends.
Is it free? Do I need an API key? Remote server, no install, no API key. Point your agent at the endpoint and call the tools.
Status
v1.2.0 — working, actively developed, CI-tested. Open source, auditable — the screening tools are
read-only (getAccountInfo); execute_safe_swap only builds an unsigned transaction for you to sign.
