    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://punks.lightyear.build/api/mcp

    Server tool list (11)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    browse_typesList all CryptoPunk type categories with their counts. Rate limit: 10 per 10 min (read bucket — shared with browse_traits, get_punk_details, get_listings, get_floor_price, get_bids_for_punk, get_bids_for_merkle_root).
    browse_traitsList all CryptoPunk traits with their counts. Optionally filter by type to see how many punks of that type have each trait. Rate limit: 10 per 10 min (read bucket — shared with browse_types, get_punk_details, get_listings, get_floor_price, get_bids_for_punk, get_bids_for_merkle_root).
    filter_punksFilter CryptoPunks by type and traits. Returns matching punk IDs and their Merkle root. Rate limit: 5 per 10 min (compute bucket — shared with compute_merkle_root, resolve_merkle_root).
    get_punk_detailsGet metadata for specific CryptoPunks: type, traits with rarity percentages, and permalink. Rate limit: 10 per 10 min (read bucket — shared with browse_types, browse_traits, get_listings, get_floor_price, get_bids_for_punk, get_bids_for_merkle_root).
    compute_merkle_rootCompute the Merkle root for a set of CryptoPunk IDs. The root matches the on-chain Solady MerkleProofLib encoding used by the Stash contract. Rate limit: 5 per 10 min (compute bucket — shared with filter_punks, resolve_merkle_root).
    get_listingsGet currently listed CryptoPunks from the native marketplace. By default returns only publicly buyable listings (excludes restricted onlySellTo and zero-value entries); pass `includeRestricted: true` to include private bundle sales. Optionally filter by price range. Returns `totalActive` (publicly buyable listings, same denominator as get_floor_price) and `matchedCount` (after your filters). Rate limit: 10 per 10 min (read bucket — shared with browse_types, browse_traits, get_punk_details, get_floor_price, get_bids_for_punk, get_bids_for_merkle_root).
    get_floor_priceGet the current floor ask price from the native CryptoPunks marketplace. Excludes restricted (onlySellTo) and zero-value listings. Returns `totalActive` (same denominator as get_listings). Rate limit: 10 per 10 min (read bucket — shared with browse_types, browse_traits, get_punk_details, get_listings, get_bids_for_punk, get_bids_for_merkle_root).
    get_bids_for_punkGet pending EIP-712 bids that include a specific CryptoPunk. Returns bids from the CryptoPunks Bids API. Rate limit: 10 per 10 min (read bucket — shared with browse_types, browse_traits, get_punk_details, get_listings, get_floor_price, get_bids_for_merkle_root).
    get_bids_for_merkle_rootGet pending EIP-712 bids matching a specific Merkle root. Useful for seeing competition on a trait-based bid set. Rate limit: 10 per 10 min (read bucket — shared with browse_types, browse_traits, get_punk_details, get_listings, get_floor_price, get_bids_for_punk).
    get_bid_recommendationAnalyze market data and recommend a bid price range for a CryptoPunk trait selection. Combines floor price, competing bids, and set composition into actionable guidance. `composition` lists only the traits that define the selection; use `absentTraits` for a full exclusion list when needed. Rate limit: 1 per 1 min (recommend bucket).
    resolve_merkle_rootReverse-engineer a Merkle root back to its punk IDs and inferred trait selection. ONLY works for roots that already have at least one bid in the CryptoPunks Bids API — this tool looks bids up by root, then derives trait config from the resulting punk set. Returns `resolved: false` for unknown roots; constructing a root locally and passing it here will not work. Rate limit: 5 per 10 min (compute bucket — shared with filter_punks, compute_merkle_root).
