# OpenSea API Query NFT data, trade on the Seaport marketplace, and swap ERC20 tokens across Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, and more. ## Quick start 1. Set `OPENSEA_API_KEY` in your environment 2. Run helper scripts in `scripts\/` for common operations 3. Use the MCP server for token swaps and advanced queries ```bash export OPENSEA_API_KEY="your-api-key" # Token swap: ETH to token .\/scripts\/opensea-swap.sh 0xTokenAddress 0.1 0xYourWallet 0xYourKey base # Token swap: Token to token (specify from_token as last arg) .\/scripts\/opensea-swap.sh 0xToToken 100 0xYourWallet 0xYourKey base 0xFromToken # Get collection info .\/scripts\/opensea-collection.sh boredapeyachtclub # Get NFT details .\/scripts\/opensea-nft.sh ethereum 0xbc4ca0eda7647a8ab7c2061c2e118a18a936f13d 1234 # Get best listing price for an NFT .\/scripts\/opensea-best-listing.sh boredapeyachtclub 1234 ``` ## Task guide ### Token swaps OpenSea's API includes a cross-chain DEX aggregator for swapping ERC20 tokens with optimal routing across all supported chains. | Task | Tool\/Script | |------|-------------| | Get swap quote with calldata | `get_token_swap_quote` (MCP) or `opensea-swap.sh` | | Check token balances | `get_token_balances` (MCP) | | Search tokens | `search_tokens` (MCP) | | Get trending tokens | `get_trending_tokens` (MCP) | | Get top tokens by volume | `get_top_tokens` (MCP) | ### Reading NFT data | Task | Script | |------|--------| | Get collection details | `opensea-collection.sh ` | | Get collection stats | `opensea-collection-stats.sh ` | | List NFTs in collection | `opensea-collection-nfts.sh [limit] [next]` | | Get single NFT | `opensea-nft.sh ` | | List NFTs by wallet | `opensea-account-nfts.sh

Get the order hash from the response, then get fulfillment data: ```bash .\/scripts\/opensea-fulfill-listing.sh ethereum 0x_order_hash 0x_your_wallet ``` 3. The response contains transaction data to execute on-chain ### Selling an NFT (accepting an offer) 1. Check offers on your NFT: ```bash .\/scripts\/opensea-best-offer.sh cool-cats-nft 1234 ``` 2. Get fulfillment data for the offer: ```bash .\/scripts\/opensea-fulfill-offer.sh ethereum 0x_offer_hash 0x_your_wallet 0x_nft_contract 1234 ``` 3. Execute the returned transaction data ### Creating listings\/offers Creating new listings and offers requires wallet signatures.

When enabled, Claude can execute swaps, query token data, and interact with NFT marketplaces directly. **Setup:** 1. Go to the [OpenSea Developer Portal](https:\/\/opensea.io\/settings\/developer) and verify your email 2. Generate a new API key for REST API access 3. Generate a separate MCP token for the MCP server Add to your MCP config: ```json { "mcpServers": { "opensea": { "url": "https:\/\/mcp.opensea.io\/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_TOKEN" } } } } ``` Or use the inline token format: `https:\/\/mcp.opensea.io\/YOUR_MCP_TOKEN\/mcp` ### Token Swap Tools | MCP Tool | Purpose | |----------|---------| | `get_token_swap_quote` | **Get swap calldata for token trades** | | `get_token_balances` | Check wallet token holdings | | `search_tokens` | Find tokens by name\/symbol | | `get_trending_tokens` | Hot tokens by momentum | | `get_top_tokens` | Top tokens by 24h volume | | `get_tokens` | Get detailed token info | ### NFT Tools | MCP Tool | Purpose | |----------|---------| | `search_collections` | Search NFT collections | | `search_items` | Search individual NFTs | | `get_collections` | Get detailed collection info | | `get_items` | Get detailed NFT info | | `get_nft_balances` | List NFTs owned by wallet | | `get_trending_collections` | Trending NFT collections | | `get_top_collections` | Top collections by volume | | `get_activity` | Trading activity for collections\/items | | `get_upcoming_drops` | Upcoming NFT mints | ### Profile & Utility Tools | MCP Tool | Purpose | |----------|---------| | `get_profile` | Wallet profile with holdings\/activity | | `account_lookup` | Resolve ENS\/address\/username | | `get_chains` | List supported chains | | `search` | AI-powered natural language search | | `fetch` | Get full details by entity ID | --- ## Token Swaps via MCP OpenSea MCP supports ERC20 token swaps across supported DEXes - not just NFTs! ### Get Swap Quote ```bash mcporter call opensea.get_token_swap_quote --args '{ "fromContractAddress": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000", "fromChain": "base", "toContractAddress": "0xb695559b26bb2c9703ef1935c37aeae9526bab07", "toChain": "base", "fromQuantity": "0.02", "address": "0xYourWalletAddress" }' ``` **Parameters:** - `fromContractAddress`: Token to swap from (use `0x0000...0000` for native ETH) - `toContractAddress`: Token to swap to - `fromChain` \/ `toChain`: Chain identifiers - `fromQuantity`: Amount in human-readable units (e.g., "0.02" for 0.02 ETH) - `address`: Your wallet address **Response includes:** - `swapQuote`: Price info, fees, slippage impact - `swap.actions[0].transactionSubmissionData`: Ready-to-use calldata ### Execute the Swap ```javascript import { createWalletClient, http } from 'viem'; import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem\/accounts'; import { base } from 'viem\/chains'; \/\/ Extract from swap quote response const txData = response.swap.actions[0].transactionSubmissionData; const wallet = createWalletClient({ account: privateKeyToAccount(PRIVATE_KEY), chain: base, transport: http() }); const hash = await wallet.sendTransaction({ to: txData.to, data: txData.data, value: BigInt(txData.value) }); ``` ### Check Token Balances ```bash mcporter call opensea.get_token_balances --args '{ "address": "0xYourWallet", "chains": ["base", "ethereum"] }' ``` ## Generating a wallet To execute swaps or buy NFTs, you need an Ethereum wallet (private key + address). ### Using Node.js ```javascript import crypto from 'crypto'; import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem\/accounts'; const privateKey = '0x' + crypto.randomBytes(32).toString('hex'); const account = privateKeyToAccount(privateKey); console.log('Private Key:', privateKey); console.log('Address:', account.address); ``` ### Using OpenSSL ```bash # Generate private key PRIVATE_KEY="0x$(openssl rand -hex 32)" echo "Private Key: $PRIVATE_KEY" # Derive address (requires node + viem) node --input-type=module -e " import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem\/accounts'; console.log('Address:', privateKeyToAccount('$PRIVATE_KEY').address); " ``` ### Using cast (Foundry) ```bash cast wallet new ``` **Important:** Store private keys securely. Never commit them to git or share publicly. ## Requirements - `OPENSEA_API_KEY` environment variable (for REST API scripts) - `OPENSEA_MCP_TOKEN` environment variable (for MCP server, separate from API key) - `curl` for REST calls - `websocat` (optional) for Stream API - `jq` (recommended) for parsing JSON responses Get both credentials at [opensea.io\/settings\/developer](https:\/\/opensea.io\/settings\/developer).
