Which integrations are available for this server?

Provides tools for cross-chain bridging, token swapping, and real-time price discovery on the Ethereum network. Enables cross-chain bridging, multi-chain token swaps, and real-time price monitoring for the Optimism blockchain network. Facilitates cross-chain bridging and token swaps on the Polygon network, including price discovery and transaction status tracking.

How do I use Relay Protocol MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Relay Protocol MCP Server Get a quote to bridge 100 USDC from Ethereum to Polygon" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Relay Protocol MCP Server

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the Relay Protocol REST API enabling cross-chain bridging and token swapping operations.

Features

Cross-Chain Bridging - Bridge tokens between 50+ blockchain networks
Multi-Chain Swaps - Aggregate tokens from multiple chains into single destination
Real-Time Pricing - Get current token prices across all supported chains
Request Monitoring - Track execution status and transaction details
Currency Discovery - Browse 1000+ supported tokens with filtering
Zero Configuration - No API keys required (free public API)
Type Safety - Full TypeScript support with comprehensive validation

Quick Start

Option 1: Local Setup (Claude Desktop)

# Install and build
pnpm install && pnpm build

# Run development server
pnpm dev

# Run production server
pnpm start

Cloud Deployment (SSE transport)

Deploy to Railway, Heroku, Render, or any cloud platform:

# Build the server
pnpm build

# Start SSE server (uses PORT from environment or 3000)
pnpm start:sse

# Or for development
pnpm dev:sse

See RAILWAY.md for detailed Railway deployment guide.

MCP Integration

Stdio Transport (Local - Claude Desktop)

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

Config Location:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Relay Protocol": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/relay-protocol-mcp-server/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Option 2: Cloud Deployment (Railway)

Deploy Steps:

Push your code to GitHub
Go to railway.app → "New Project" → "Deploy from GitHub repo"
Select your repository (Railway auto-detects configuration)
Get your deployment URL: https://your-app.railway.app

Claude Desktop Configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Relay Protocol": {
      "transport": "sse",
      "url": "https://your-app.railway.app/sse"
    }
  }
}

Test Your Deployment:

curl https://your-app.railway.app/health
# Response: {"status":"healthy","server":"Relay Protocol","version":"0.1.0","transport":"sse"}

Deployment Info:

Free tier: $5/month credits (plenty for personal use)
Memory usage: ~50-100MB RAM
Auto-sleeps after 30 minutes of inactivity
Railway CLI: npm i -g @railway/cli (optional)

Troubleshooting

"No available tools" in Claude:

Verify absolute path in config is correct
Test server: echo '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/list"}' | node dist/index.js
Restart Claude Desktop after config changes
Ensure Node.js >= 20.0.0 and pnpm build completed

Connection issues:

Run pnpm build before starting
Check server starts without errors: pnpm dev
Verify JSON syntax in Claude config file

Requirements

Node.js >= 20.0.0
pnpm package manager
