BridgeKitty 🐱

Cross-chain bridge aggregator MCP server for AI agents. One server, 5 bridge backends, best routes across EVM, Solana, and Cosmos chains.

BridgeKitty gives AI agents (Claude, Cursor, GPT, or any MCP-compatible AI) the ability to find and execute cross-chain bridge transfers — with automatic route optimization, fee comparison, balance checks, and safety warnings.

What's New in v0.3.0

• sign_and_send — agents can now sign and broadcast transactions directly using locally-stored wallet keys

• Full EVM signing support — works with all EVM backends (Across, Relay, LI.FI, Squid, deBridge) + Persistence Interop (EIP-712)

• Simulation fix — ERC20 bridges now work on fresh wallets (previously blocked by premature simulation)

• Solana signing — coming in next release

• Solana support — bidirectional bridging EVM ↔ Solana (native SOL delivery, not wrapped)

• Cosmos support — EVM → Persistence/Cosmos Hub via Squid (Axelar)

• Protocol fee transparency — deBridge fixFee, operating expenses, and total cost visible in every quote

• Balance warnings — warns when wallet can't cover bridge amount + protocol fees + gas

• XPRT staking — stake/unstake/claim rewards directly from the MCP server

• Farming multiplier — tracks your staking tier (1x → 3x → 5x) from the rewards API

• Quote auto-refresh — expired quotes automatically re-fetched on execute (60s expiry)

• ERC-20 approvals — always generated for token bridges (Relay + deBridge)

• Bridge status tracking — on-chain fallback when provider API hasn't indexed yet

Supported Bridges

Bridge Directions

Quick Start

npx (zero install)

npx @persistenceone/bridgekitty

Claude Code

Add to your MCP config (~/.claude/claude_code_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bridgekitty": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@persistenceone/bridgekitty"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor IDE

Add to Cursor's MCP settings (Settings > MCP Servers):

{
  "bridgekitty": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["@persistenceone/bridgekitty"]
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bridgekitty": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@persistenceone/bridgekitty"]
    }
  }
}

Wallet Setup

BridgeKitty can manage wallets for autonomous bridging. Run wallet_setup to create wallets for EVM, Cosmos, and Solana — or provide your own addresses in quotes.

Wallet config is stored in ~/.bridgekitty/.env (or the directory you run from). Keys never leave the local machine.

Transaction Signing

By default, bridge_execute returns unsigned transactions for the agent or user to sign externally.

Set sign_and_send: true to enable autonomous signing — BridgeKitty will use the wallet keys stored in ~/.bridgekitty/.env to handle the full flow:

1. Approval — sends ERC-20 approval transaction (if needed)

2. Re-build — re-fetches the bridge transaction with updated nonce (if approval was sent)

3. Simulate — runs eth_estimateGas pre-flight check

4. Sign — signs the transaction with the local private key

5. Broadcast — submits to the chain and returns the tx hash + explorer link

Persistence Interop uses EIP-712 typed data signing (Permit2 approval + on-chain initiate) instead of standard approve-and-send.

Example: Bridge USDC from Base to Arbitrum

Default (unsigned transactions)

Agent: "Bridge 100 USDC from Base to Arbitrum"

→ bridge_get_quote: Gets quotes from deBridge, Relay, LI.FI, Across
→ Shows: best rate, fees, estimated time, balance check
→ bridge_execute: Builds approval tx + bridge tx
→ Agent signs and sends both transactions
→ bridge_status: Tracks until destination confirmed

With sign_and_send (autonomous signing)

Agent: "Bridge 100 USDC from Base to Arbitrum"

→ bridge_get_quote: Gets quotes from all backends
→ bridge_execute with sign_and_send: true
  → Auto-signs approval tx + bridge tx using local wallet keys
  → Returns tx hash + explorer link
→ bridge_status: Tracks until destination confirmed

Architecture

                   Quote Cache (60s) + Circuit Breaker
                         ↓
                   Best Quote → buildTransaction

        Unsigned TX          Signed + Broadcast
         (default)            (sign_and_send)

• Routing Engine: Parallel quotes from all backends, ranked by output amount

• Circuit Breaker: Auto-skips failing backends, gradual recovery

• Token Registry: 45+ verified tokens with canonical addresses per chain

• Gas Estimator: Chain-aware gas cost estimation with multi-RPC failover

• Balance Checker: Validates token + native balance for fees before execution

• Fee Transparency: Protocol fees (deBridge fixFee, operating expenses) surfaced in every quote

Security

• Exact-amount approvals only (never unlimited)

• Transaction simulation before execution

• Verified token registry prevents address spoofing

• No private keys in MCP protocol — agents sign transactions externally

• sign_and_send uses locally-stored keys only (never transmitted over the network)

• Circuit breaker prevents cascading failures

• Error messages sanitized (no key/path leakage)

• .env file permission checks + overwrite protection

Known Limitations

• Solana → EVM returns a serialized transaction for external signing (no auto-execute)

• Relay status tracking may show "unknown" for completed cross-chain bridges

• Solana SPL tokens not yet shown in wallet_balance (only native SOL)

• Cosmos → EVM bridging not yet supported (only EVM → Cosmos)
