Flashift — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Enables AI coding agents to aggregate crypto swap rates across 100+ networks and 15+ services without API keys or private key access.
claude mcp add --transport http mcp-server https://mcp.flashift.app/mcpWhat Flashift does
This server connects assistants directly to cross-chain swap providers. Agents can inspect supported tokens via get_currencies, fetch quote comparisons using get_estimated_amount, and generate deposit parameters with create_transaction. Responses include AI-evaluated routing tags such as AI Best Rate or Best in KYC, which highlight differences in payout sizes and compliance tiers.
The operating model is entirely non-custodial. Flashift never touches seed phrases or secret keys. The user executes the deposit transfer independently from a personal wallet. The remote endpoint at https://mcp.flashift.app/mcp runs over streamable HTTP without access tokens. Connecting via stdio requires the mcp-remote proxy running on Node.js 18 or newer.
What it helps with
- compare exchange rates across multiple liquidity providers
- find swap routes with minimal KYC requirements
- create cross-chain transaction deposit addresses via AI
- track real-time status of ongoing crypto conversions
Example prompts for the agent
- Find quotes to swap 1 ETH from Ethereum to SOL on Solana and highlight the best rate.
- Check if USDC is supported on the Polygon network.
- Create a fixed-rate swap for 500 USDT to BTC and output the deposit wallet address.
