Who can use this feature?
These features require Claude Cowork (desktop), MoonPay CLI installed and connected, and Claude Dispatch enabled on your phone.
Overview
Claude Dispatch is a persistent AI agent you control from your phone. When you connect MoonPay, that agent gains a full crypto financial stack: trading automation, cross-chain swaps, off-ramping, hardware wallet signing, and more. All ten use cases below work today.
1. Buy the dip automatically overnight
You set a rule before bed: "If BTC drops more than 10% in any 24-hour window, buy $500."
Claude Dispatch installs a price monitoring condition via the moonpay-price-alerts skill. When the threshold triggers, your desktop agent wakes up, executes the buy through MoonPay, and sends you a push notification. You see it in the morning — window not missed.
Skills needed: moonpay-price-alerts, moonpay-trading-automation
2. Get a plain-English portfolio summary on demand
Send the message: "How's my portfolio doing?"
Claude Dispatch pulls your wallet balances across all connected chains, calculates P&L vs. cost basis, and identifies your best and worst performers. The reply looks something like this:
> "Your portfolio is up 12.3% from cost basis. BTC (+18%) is your best performer. SOL is down 8% since your last purchase. Total value: [X]. You have [Y] USDC sitting idle — want me to put it to work?"
No spreadsheet, no logging into exchanges, no manual math. And unlike a dashboard, Claude can act on what it finds.
Skills needed: moonpay-check-wallet, moonpay-export-data
3. Set up dollar-cost averaging in one message
Send the message: "Set up a $200 weekly buy of ETH every Monday morning."
Claude Dispatch configures a recurring schedule via MoonPay's automation tools. Every Monday the buy executes automatically from your connected fiat source or USDC balance, and you get a confirmation push each time.
To pause or cancel, just say so: "Pause my ETH DCA for the next two weeks."
Skills needed: moonpay-trading-automation, moonpay-iron-dca
4. Swap tokens across chains without touching an app
Send the message: "Swap my USDC on Ethereum to SOL at the best available rate."
Claude Dispatch finds the optimal bridge route, quotes the rate, executes the swap, and confirms when SOL lands in your Solana wallet. You can add constraints too — "Only if the slippage is under 0.5%" — and Claude will check and refuse if the conditions aren't met.
Tools used: token_bridge, token_swap, token_quote
5. Research a token and buy it in the same thread
Send the message: "What's the deal with [token name]? Is it worth buying a small position?"
Claude Dispatch pulls price history, market cap, holder distribution, on-chain activity, and recent news, then gives you a plain-English brief. If you decide to move — "buy $100 worth" — Claude executes it immediately in the same thread. Research, decision, and execution in one conversation with no app switching.
Tools used: token_search, token_retrieve, mcp__moonpay__token_holder_list, token_trending_list
6. Convert crypto to fiat and send it to your bank
Send the message: "Convert 0.1 ETH to USD and send it to my bank account."
Claude Dispatch initiates the off-ramp via MoonPay's virtual account system, converts at market rate, initiates the bank transfer, and sends you a confirmation with the expected arrival time.
Note: Off-ramp services are available in 160+ countries where MoonPay operates.
Tools used: mcp__moonpay__virtual-account_offramp_create, mcp__moonpay__virtual-account_offramp_initiate
7. Protect every transaction with your Ledger
When you connect a Ledger hardware wallet, every transaction Claude Dispatch initiates pauses and waits for physical confirmation on your device before executing. The agent proposes; the Ledger approves.
To set it up, run:
</> Bash
npx @moonpay/cli wallet hardware add
Then send: "Add my Ledger as the signing device for all transactions." Claude walks you through the pairing process in the Dispatch thread.
Important: Private keys never leave the hardware. Even if someone compromises your AI agent, they can't move funds without your physical device.
Skills needed: moonpay-hardware-wallet
8. Pay for AI-gated research without a subscription
Premium financial data increasingly gates access via x402, a machine-to-machine payment standard — you pay per request instead of a monthly fee. With MoonPay's native x402 support, Claude Dispatch can access these sources autonomously.
Send the message: "Research [token] using the best available market data, spend up to $5 if needed."
Claude pays for the data from your wallet, retrieves it, and includes it in its response. You set a per-request spending limit, and Claude never exceeds it.
Tools used: mcp__moonpay__x402_request
9. Set a spending budget so Claude can't overspend
Send the message: "Set a daily spending limit of $500 for all transactions."
The moonpay-budget-agent skill installs a soft cap. Claude will refuse to execute any transaction — or combination of transactions — that would push you over the daily budget, and it'll ask for an explicit override when you hit the limit.
You can also set per-transaction limits: "Never spend more than $200 in a single trade without asking me first."
Skills needed: moonpay-budget-agent
10. Get a morning briefing on your holdings
Send the message: "Every weekday at 8am, send me a portfolio update with overnight price changes and any positions I should know about."
Claude Dispatch creates a scheduled task that pulls your balances each morning, calculates overnight performance, flags anything unusual — large swings, new tokens entering your wallet, DCA executions that ran — and sends you a push notification with the summary.
Skills needed: moonpay-check-wallet, moonpay-export-data, Claude Dispatch recurring task
