Hive Swap
Cross-chain token swaps for autonomous agents on Base L2 and partner rails
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http hive-swap 'https://hive-mcp-swap.onrender.com/mcp'
{
"mcpServers": {
"hive-swap": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://hive-mcp-swap.onrender.com/mcp"
}
}

hive-mcp-swap
Read-only Paraswap price quotes on Base.
Live contract
This MCP server exposes one swap capability:
| Surface | Purpose |
|---|---|
GET /v1/swap-route/quote | Request a live Paraswap price quote on Base |
swap_route.quote | Request the same quote through MCP |
The response identifies Paraswap as the provider and preserves the venue names present in the returned route. Hive does not construct, sign, submit, or settle a transaction. It does not collect a routing fee, operate liquidity, or custody funds.
Supported token symbols are ETH, WETH, USDC, and USDT. A caller may also supply a Base token address. The amount must be positive.
Failure behavior
If Paraswap does not return a usable quote, the HTTP endpoint returns 502 with no_route_available. The MCP tool returns a structured error payload. Unknown HTTP paths return 404. Unknown MCP tools and methods return JSON-RPC errors.
There is no execution endpoint. There is no transaction construction endpoint. There is no trust score, AML screening, or receipt-signing claim in the quote response.
Discovery
| Method | Path | Description |
|---|---|---|
GET | /health | Local liveness and declared capability |
POST | /mcp | MCP JSON-RPC 2.0, protocol 2024-11-05 |
GET | /.well-known/mcp.json | MCP discovery manifest |
GET | /.well-known/agent.json | Agent card |
GET | /.well-known/security.txt | Security contact |
GET | /llms.txt | Plain-text integration guide |
GET | /og.svg | Service image |
Example
GET https://mcp-swap.thehiveryiq.com/v1/swap-route/quote?tokenIn=ETH&tokenOut=USDC&amountIn=1
The quote is informational. A caller that chooses to trade must independently construct, review, sign, and submit a transaction using its own wallet and execution provider.
Testing
npm install
npm test
The automated suite verifies manifest parity, removal of the former execution surface, honest unknown-route behavior, and the absence of unsupported provider, fee, settlement, AML, and trust claims. A separate live probe verifies that Paraswap can return a current Base quote.
