LI.FI MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides comprehensive integration with the LI.FI API for cross-chain bridge and DEX aggregation services.

Overview

This MCP server enables AI assistants and applications to interact with LI.FI's cross-chain infrastructure through a standardized protocol. It provides access to blockchain network information, token data, bridging tools, transaction status tracking, and more.

Features

Available Tools

• Chain Information (lifi_get_chains) - Get information about all supported blockchain networks

• Token Data (lifi_get_tokens) - Retrieve comprehensive token information across chains

• Specific Token (lifi_get_token) - Get detailed information about a specific token

• Bridge & Exchange Tools (lifi_get_tools) - List available bridges and exchanges

• Chain Connections (lifi_get_connections) - Explore supported cross-chain connections

• Gas Price Data (lifi_get_gas_prices) - Get current gas prices for specific chains

• Gas Suggestions (lifi_get_gas_suggestion) - Get gas amount recommendations

• Transaction Status (lifi_get_transaction_status) - Track cross-chain transfer status

• Fee Withdrawal (lifi_get_integrator_fee_withdrawal) - Manage integrator fee withdrawals

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v16 or higher)

• npm or yarn

• LI.FI API key

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

2. Install dependencies:

3. Obtain a LI.FI API key:

   • Visit LI.FI Developer Portal to register and get your API key

   • Keep your API key secure and ready for configuration

Configuration

The server requires the following configuration:

• lifiApiKey (required): Your LI.FI API key for authentication

• debug (optional): Enable debug logging (default: false)

Development

Start the development server:

This will start the MCP server using Smithery CLI with hot reloading enabled.
