THORChain Swap — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Delivers THORChain cross-chain swap calculations, liquidity pool details, and blockchain health checks to your coding workspace.
claude mcp add --transport http thorchain-swap https://swap.thorchain.org/mcpWhat THORChain Swap does
The MCP server hooks an AI agent to the THORChain web interface infrastructure using standard HTTP transport. It supplies read-only tooling for calculating native asset trades, checking liquidity pool depths, and tracking blockchain status.
The service at https://swap.thorchain.org/mcp operates without authorization headers or secret tokens. Because access is public and unauthenticated, requests face server-side rate limits.
What it helps with
- fetch live cross-chain swap estimates for native Bitcoin and Ethereum
- inspect THORChain liquidity pool reserves
- monitor network operational status without API credentials
Example prompts for the agent
- Fetch a quote for swapping 0.25 BTC to ETH on THORChain.
- Check the current pool depth for BTC and USDT on THORChain.
- What is the current THORChain network status?
