EVM Proxy MCP

MCP server for advanced EVM smart contract analysis with proxy detection, implementation resolution, and security analysis.

A Model Context Protocol server that provides AI assistants with tools to analyze Ethereum and EVM-compatible smart contracts.

Features

• 9 Proxy Pattern Detection - EIP-1967, UUPS, Beacon, Diamond, Minimal Clone, GnosisSafe, and more

• Automatic Implementation Resolution - Follows proxy chains to find the actual logic contract

• Admin Function Detection - Identifies privileged functions (upgrade, pause, mint, burn, etc.)

• Security Analysis - Generates security notes and risk assessments

• Multi-Chain Support - Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, BSC, Avalanche

Example Usage

Analyze USDC Contract

User: Analyze the USDC contract on Ethereum

Claude: [Uses full_analysis tool with address 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48]

## Analysis Results

### Proxy Status
- **Is Proxy**: Yes
- **Type**: EIP-1967 Transparent Proxy
- **Implementation**: 0x43506...

### Admin Functions Detected
- pause()
- unpause()
- blacklist(address)
- mint(address,uint256)

### Security Notes
- Contract can be paused - centralization risk
- Contract has blacklist functionality
- Contract has mint capabilities

Check if Contract is a Proxy

User: Is 0x1234... a proxy contract?

Claude: [Uses detect_proxy tool]

The contract at 0x1234... is an EIP-1967 Transparent Proxy.
- Implementation: 0x5678...
- Admin: 0x9abc...

How Proxy Detection Works

The server detects proxies by:

1. Bytecode Analysis - Checks for EIP-1167 minimal proxy pattern in bytecode

2. Storage Slot Reading - Reads standardized EIP-1967 storage slots

3. Function Calls - Tries common implementation getter functions
