This page covers the three most common starting paths: trading a token, launching a token, and integrating from your editor through the MCP.

​
Before you start

You need:
  • A wallet with support for Ink mainnet (chain 57073)
  • A small amount of ETH on Ink for gas
  • A browser, or for the integration path, a terminal with Node 22 or later
Bridge ETH to Ink at bridge.inkonchain.com if you do not have any.

​
Path 1: Trade a token

Open InkyPump

Go to inkypump.com. Pick a token from the home page or paste its address.

Connect your wallet

Click Connect, pick your wallet, switch to Ink mainnet.
3

Buy or sell

Enter the ETH or token amount. The preview shows expected output, the 2 percent fee, and price impact.

Choose your raise

Pick a target raise between 1 and 5 ETH. Pick a curve gain (1x to 21x). Pick your creator fee split (0 to 100 percent of the 1 percent variable fee).

Optional anti-snipe

0, 20, 40, or 60 seconds of captcha protection at launch.
5

Confirm

Pass the captcha, sign the transaction, land on your token’s trade page.
For the full walkthrough, see Create Your Token.

​
Path 3: Launch from your editor (MCP)

If you use Claude Code or Codex CLI, you can run the InkyPump MCP server locally and call its tools directly from your editor.
1

Generate a burner key

umask 077
printf '0x%s' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > ~/.inkypump-mcp-key
chmod 600 ~/.inkypump-mcp-key
2

Register the MCP

claude mcp add inkypump \
  -e INKYPUMP_MCP_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE=$HOME/.inkypump-mcp-key \
  -e INKYPUMP_MCP_ENABLE_WRITES=true \
  -- npx -y @inkyswap/pump-mcp
3

Fund the burner

Read the public address with wallet_info, then send ETH to it.
4

Use it

Ask the agent to call launch_token, preview_launch, or recent_launches.
For the full MCP reference, see MCP Server.
