base-flash-arb-mcp

MCP server for detecting flash loan arbitrage opportunities across DEXes on Base mainnet.

Tools

Tool	Description
`detect_arb_opportunity`	Compare token prices across Uniswap V2, V3, and Aerodrome. Find profitable arb routes.
`get_pool_reserves`	Get reserves/liquidity for a token across all known DEX pools on Base.
`estimate_flash_profit`	Estimate flash loan profit between two pools after gas costs.
`scan_top_tokens`	Scan top traded tokens on Base for arb opportunities via DexScreener.
`get_price_across_dexes`	Get current price of a token on all available DEXes.
`check_sandwich_risk`	Analyze recent trades for sandwich attack patterns (bot activity).
`get_mempool_pending`	Check pending transactions for front-run detection.

DEXes Covered

Uniswap V2 (Factory: 0x8909Dc15e40173Ff4699343b6eB8132c65e18eC6)
Uniswap V3 (Fee tiers: 0.05%, 0.3%, 1%)
Aerodrome (Volatile + Stable pools)

How It Works

All tools are read-only -- no private key needed. The server queries on-chain pool reserves, uses DEX quoters for accurate pricing, and compares across exchanges to find price discrepancies that could be exploited via flash loans.

Flash profit estimation accounts for:

Aave flash loan fee (0.09%)
Base gas costs (dynamically estimated)
Slippage warning

Sandwich detection uses heuristic analysis of Swap events to identify same-block multi-transaction patterns from single addresses.
