MCP server for SwapAPI - get executable token swap calldata for EVM chains
Runs on your machine from its package; the steps are below.
At most: moves money, runs code or commands, deletes data, or sends messages for you.
Odel charges nothing per call. The publisher may charge for its own service.
Runs locally over stdio
This server isn't hosted — your MCP client launches it from a package registry. Use one of the commands below, or drop the config into your client (e.g. Claude Desktop).
Run
npx -y @swapapi/mcp
MCP client config
{
"mcpServers": {
"swap-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@swapapi/mcp"
]
}
}
}Executable token swap calldata in one GET request. No API keys. No accounts. No SDK bloat.
