Swig MCP Server

@swig-wallet/mcp-server is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI agents the ability to create and manage Swig smart wallets on Solana. It can run locally over stdio or remotely over Streamable HTTP.

If you are setting this up for the first time, start with Getting Started with Swig MCP.

Quick Start

Local (`stdio`)

# From the swig-ts monorepo
bun run build -w @swig-wallet/mcp-server

# Add to Claude Code
claude mcp add swig-wallet -- node packages/mcp-server/dist/index.js

Remote (HTTP)

node packages/mcp-server/dist/index.js --http --port 3001 --api-key YOUR_SECRET

# Add to Claude Code
claude mcp add swig-wallet --transport http https://your-host.com/mcp

Installation

The server is part of the swig-ts monorepo. Build the full workspace:

bun install
bun run build

Or build only the MCP server:

cd packages/mcp-server
bun run build

The compiled output is a single file at dist/index.js.

Transport Modes

`stdio` (default)

In stdio mode, the server reads JSON-RPC messages from stdin and writes responses to stdout. This is the standard local MCP pattern, where the AI client launches the server as a subprocess.

node dist/index.js

Agent configuration examples: Claude Code:

claude mcp add swig-wallet -- node /path/to/dist/index.js

Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "swig-wallet": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/swig-ts/packages/mcp-server/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Streamable HTTP (`--http`)

In HTTP mode, the server exposes the MCP Streamable HTTP transport. Each connecting client gets its own stateful session, which makes this mode appropriate for shared or hosted deployments.

node dist/index.js --http

Endpoints:

Path	Methods	Description
`/mcp`	`POST`, `GET`, `DELETE`	MCP Streamable HTTP endpoint
`/health`	`GET`	Health check that returns JSON status and session count

Agent configuration examples: Claude Code:

claude mcp add swig-wallet --transport http https://your-host.com/mcp

Cursor:

Settings > MCP Servers > Add a server > URL: https://your-host.com/mcp

Any MCP-compatible client can connect by sending an InitializeRequest to /mcp.

CLI Options

swig-mcp-server              Start in stdio mode (default)
swig-mcp-server --http       Start as Streamable HTTP server

Flag	Default	Description
`--http`	off	Enable HTTP mode instead of `stdio`
`--port <n>`	`3001`	HTTP listen port
`--host <addr>`	`0.0.0.0`	HTTP bind address
`--api-key <key>`	none	Require `Authorization: Bearer <key>` on every request
`--cors-origin <origin>`	`*`	Value for the `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header
`--help`, `-h`		Print help and exit

Environment Variables

Variable	Description
`PORT`	HTTP port, overridden by `--port`
`SWIG_MCP_API_KEY`	Bearer token for auth, overridden by `--api-key`

Tools

The server exposes 13 tools across configuration, wallet management, and transaction execution. In a fresh session, call configure_rpc first.

Configuration

Tool	Description
`configure_rpc`	Set the Solana RPC endpoint and commitment level
`configure_paymaster`	Provide Swig Paymaster API credentials from dashboard.onswig.com for gasless transactions
`configure_gas_sponsor`	Provide a custom gas sponsorship server URL
`generate_agent_keypair`	Generate a new Ed25519 keypair for the agent and optionally save it to a file
`configure_agent_keypair`	Load an existing keypair from a JSON file or base58 secret key
`get_balance`	Check the SOL balance of any address

Wallet Management

Tool	Description
`create_swig_wallet`	Create a new Swig smart wallet on-chain with a root authority and permissions
`fetch_swig_wallet`	Fetch wallet details, including account version, wallet address, and authorities
`add_authority`	Add a new authority with specific permissions
`remove_authority`	Remove an authority by role ID
`update_authority`	Update an authority’s permissions or configuration

For add_authority, the newAuthorityPubkey format depends on authorityType:

ed25519 and ed25519Session: base58 public key
secp256k1: hex-encoded SEC1 public key
secp256r1: compressed hex-encoded P-256 public key

Transactions

Tool	Description
`transact_sol_transfer`	Transfer SOL from the Swig wallet to a recipient
`transact_custom`	Execute arbitrary instructions through the Swig wallet, with the wallet as signer

Gas and Fee Handling

Configure one fee strategy before sending transactions.

1. Swig Paymaster

The Swig Paymaster covers transaction fees. Call configure_paymaster with your API key and paymaster public key. For broader Paymaster setup details, see Using Paymaster SDK. Your own sponsor service signs and sponsors transactions. Call configure_gas_sponsor with the service URL. The server sends a base64-encoded transaction to:

<url>/sponsor

The sponsor service is expected to return JSON in this shape:

{
  "signature": "..."
}

3. Self-Funded

The agent can pay fees from its own SOL balance. Call generate_agent_keypair or configure_agent_keypair, then fund that address with SOL.

Permissions Reference

When calling create_swig_wallet, add_authority, or update_authority, pass a permissions array where each object has a type field.

Type	Additional fields	Description
`all`	none	Full root permissions
`manageAuthority`	none	Can add, remove, and update authorities
`allButManageAuthority`	none	Everything except authority management
`closeSwigAuthority`	none	Can close the Swig account
`solLimit`	`amount`	One-time SOL spend limit in lamports, passed as a string
`solRecurringLimit`	`recurringAmount`, `window`	Recurring SOL limit
`solDestinationLimit`	`amount`, `destination`	SOL limit to a specific recipient
`tokenLimit`	`mint`, `amount`	One-time token spend limit
`tokenRecurringLimit`	`mint`, `recurringAmount`, `window`	Recurring token limit
`programLimit`	`programId`	Access to a specific program
`programAll`	none	Access to any program
`programCurated`	none	Access to curated programs
`subAccount`	none	Sub-account management
`stakeAll`	none	Full staking permissions
`stakeLimit`	`amount`	Staking with an amount limit

Example:

[
  { "type": "solLimit", "amount": "500000000" },
  {
    "type": "programLimit",
    "programId": "JUP6LkbZbjS1jKKwapdHNy74zcZ3tLUZoi5QNyVTaV4"
  }
]

For more detail on how these actions map to the SDK, see Swig Actions Documentation.

Deployment

Docker

FROM node:20-slim
WORKDIR /app
COPY packages/mcp-server/dist/index.js .
COPY node_modules/ ./node_modules/
ENV PORT=3001
ENV SWIG_MCP_API_KEY=changeme
EXPOSE 3001
CMD ["node", "index.js", "--http"]

Railway, Render, and Fly.io

Use this start command:

node packages/mcp-server/dist/index.js --http

Set PORT and SWIG_MCP_API_KEY in your deployment environment.

Production Checklist

Require authentication with --api-key or SWIG_MCP_API_KEY
Put the server behind a reverse proxy with TLS termination
Set --cors-origin to your specific domain instead of *
Use a dedicated RPC endpoint such as Helius, Triton, or QuickNode instead of the public Solana RPC

Architecture

Agent (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)
  |
  |-- stdio -------- swig-mcp-server (local process)
  |
  '-- HTTP POST ---- swig-mcp-server --http (remote)
                       |
                       |-- /mcp     -> Streamable HTTP transport (per-session)
                       '-- /health  -> health check

The server uses @swig-wallet/classic internally. Wallet creation, authority management, and transaction signing are handled through @swig-wallet/classic and @swig-wallet/paymaster-classic.
