orbit-api
OfficialProvides tools for cross-chain routing and bridging, including finding routes, estimating costs, checking risks, executing transfers, and checking status, with Stellar as one of the supported blockchains.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@orbit-apifind best route to bridge 100 USDC from Base 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.
orbit-api
The control tower of Orbit — REST API, MCP server, and orchestration layer.
orbit-api is the public face of Orbit. It connects frontends, AI agents (via MCP), and third-party integrations to orbit-core (intelligence) and orbit-executor (execution).
What it exposes
REST API
Method | Endpoint | Description |
|
| Find best routes (quick GET) |
|
| Find and rank routes (full body) |
|
| Execute a route |
|
| Track a transfer |

| Health check |
MCP tools (for Claude, Cursor, VSCode)
Tool | Description |
| Discovers and ranks cross-chain routes |
| Returns cost breakdown for a transfer |
| Safety and risk score for a route |
| Initiates a bridge execution |

npm run devAPI runs on http://localhost:3000.
MCP setup (Claude Desktop / Cursor)
Add to your MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"orbit": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["path/to/orbit-api/dist/index.js"],
"env": { "MCP_MODE": "stdio" }
}
}
}Then ask Claude:
"Find the cheapest route to send 500 USDC from Base to Stellar"
