- Auth: none
- Category: [Finance & Payments](https://mcp.tc/c/finance-payments)
- Vendor: Swaplume
- Homepage: <https://api.swaplume.com>

## About

Swaplume compares live offers from instant crypto exchanges such as ChangeNOW, SimpleSwap, FixedFloat, SideShift and Changelly, sorted by the amount that reaches the user's wallet after fees. An assistant can find supported assets, validate payout addresses, create a swap that returns a deposit address, and poll the swap until it is final. Swaplume never holds funds.

It runs as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint at https://api.swaplume.com/mcp. No sign-in or API key is needed.

## What it can do

- Compare swap quotes across exchanges, best rate first
- Create a swap and get a deposit address
- Check payout and refund addresses before swapping
- Track swap status until it is final
- Search supported assets and networks
- List exchanges with KYC and IP-handling details

## Tools (6)

- `get_quotes`: Compare every exchange's offer for a swap, best first, with errors and limits. (read-only)
- `create_swap`: Create a swap and get the deposit address; no funds move at this step.
- `validate_address`: Check a payout or refund address for a given asset and network. (read-only)
- `get_swap`: Get a swap's live status and next step until it is final. (read-only)
- `list_currencies`: Find supported assets and their networks. (read-only)
- `list_providers`: List compared exchanges with their requirements, KYC and IP handling. (read-only)

## Example prompts

- "Compare quotes for swapping 0.1 BTC to ETH."
- "Which exchange gives the most USDT on Tron for 500 USDT on Ethereum?"
- "Check whether this Ethereum address is valid for a payout."
- "What is the status of my swap?"

## Install

### Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http swaplume https://api.swaplume.com/mcp
```

2. Start Claude Code and type `/mcp`. **swaplume** should show as connected.

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Customize → Connectors**, click **+ Add**, then **Add custom connector**.

2. Name it **Swaplume** and paste this URL:

```url
https://api.swaplume.com/mcp
```

3. Click **Add**. Its tools appear in the chat’s tools menu.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

### claude.ai

1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

[Add to claude.ai](<https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=Swaplume&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.swaplume.com%2Fmcp>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://api.swaplume.com/mcp` and click **Add**.

3. Turn it on in a chat from the tools menu.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.

### ChatGPT

1. On chatgpt.com, go to **Plugins**, select **+**, then **Add custom MCP server**.

2. Enter a name for the server.

3. Under **Connection**, paste `https://api.swaplume.com/mcp` as the server URL, then for authentication choose **No authentication**.

4. Check **I understand and want to continue**, then select **Create as a plugin**.

Whether you can add a custom MCP server depends on your ChatGPT plan and your workspace permissions (in Business workspaces, admins and owners can).

### Cursor

[Add to Cursor](<https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=swaplume&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2FwaS5zd2FwbHVtZS5jb20vbWNwIn0%3D>) (opens Cursor)

Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):

`mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "swaplume": {
      "url": "https://api.swaplume.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### VS Code

[Install in VS Code](<https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=swaplume&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fapi.swaplume.com%2Fmcp%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"swaplume","type":"http","url":"https://api.swaplume.com/mcp"}'
```

Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:

`.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "swaplume": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.swaplume.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### Devin Desktop

1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):

`mcp_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "swaplume": {
      "serverUrl": "https://api.swaplume.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers.

### Codex

```bash
codex mcp add swaplume --url https://api.swaplume.com/mcp
```

Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:

`config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.swaplume]
url = "https://api.swaplume.com/mcp"
```

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http swaplume https://api.swaplume.com/mcp
```

This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.

### Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "swaplume": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.swaplume.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://api.swaplume.com/mcp`.
