BridgeKitty ๐ฑ
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 โ with automatic route optimization, fee comparison, balance checks, and safety warnings.
What's New in v0.3.0
sign_and_sendparameter โ agents can now sign and broadcast transactions directly using locally-stored wallet keys- Full EVM signing support โ works with all EVM backends (Across, Relay, LI.FI, Squid, deBridge) + Persistence Interop (EIP-712)
- Simulation fix โ ERC20 bridges now work on fresh wallets (previously blocked by premature simulation)
- Solana signing โ coming in next release
- Solana support โ bidirectional bridging EVM โ Solana (native SOL delivery, not wrapped)
- Cosmos support โ EVM โ Persistence/Cosmos Hub via Squid (Axelar)
- Protocol fee transparency โ deBridge fixFee, operating expenses, and total cost visible in every quote
- Balance warnings โ warns when wallet can't cover bridge amount + protocol fees + gas
- XPRT staking โ stake/unstake/claim rewards directly from the MCP server
- Farming multiplier โ tracks your staking tier (1x โ 3x โ 5x) from the rewards API
- Quote auto-refresh โ expired quotes automatically re-fetched on execute (60s expiry)
- ERC-20 approvals โ always generated for token bridges (Relay + deBridge)
- Bridge status tracking โ on-chain fallback when provider API hasn't indexed yet

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 โ 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.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
PRIVATE_KEY |
EVM private key (hex) |
MNEMONIC |
BIP-39 mnemonic (derives EVM, Cosmos, Solana keys) |
SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY |
Solana private key (base58) |
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 โ BridgeKitty will use the wallet keys stored in ~/.bridgekitty/.env to handle the full flow:
- Approval โ sends ERC-20 approval transaction (if needed)
- Re-build โ re-fetches the bridge transaction with updated nonce (if approval was sent)
- Simulate โ runs
eth_estimateGaspre-flight check - Sign โ signs the transaction with the local private key
- Broadcast โ 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.
Optional API Keys
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
LIFI_API_KEY |
LI.FI API key (higher rate limits) |
DEBRIDGE_API_KEY |
deBridge API key |
SQUID_INTEGRATOR_ID |
Squid integrator ID |
MCP Tools

bridge_chains |
List supported chains with provider coverage. |
bridge_tokens |
Search tokens on a chain. |
Wallet Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
wallet_setup |
Create wallets for EVM, Cosmos, Solana from a single mnemonic. |
wallet_balance |
Check balances across all chains with USD prices (CoinGecko). |
XPRT Staking & Farming
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
xprt_stake |
Stake XPRT to a validator (warns about 21-day unbonding). |
xprt_unstake |
Unstake XPRT (21-day unbonding period). |
xprt_claim_rewards |
Claim staking rewards. |
xprt_rewards_check |
Check farming rewards, multiplier tier, epoch status. |

Example: Bridge USDC from Base to Arbitrum
Default (unsigned transactions)
Agent: "Bridge 100 USDC from Base to Arbitrum"
โ bridge_get_quote: Gets quotes from deBridge, Relay, LI.FI, Across
โ Shows: best rate, fees, estimated time, balance check
โ bridge_execute: Builds approval tx + bridge tx
โ Agent signs and sends both transactions
โ bridge_status: Tracks until destination confirmed
With sign_and_send (autonomous signing)
Agent: "Bridge 100 USDC from Base to Arbitrum"
โ bridge_get_quote: Gets quotes from all backends
โ bridge_execute with sign_and_send: true
โ Auto-signs approval tx + bridge tx using local wallet keys
โ Returns tx hash + explorer link
โ bridge_status: Tracks until destination confirmed

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 โ agents sign transactions externally
sign_and_senduses locally-stored keys only (never transmitted over the network)- Circuit breaker prevents cascading failures
- Error messages sanitized (no key/path leakage)
.envfile permission checks + overwrite protection
Known Limitations
- Solana โ 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 โ EVM bridging not yet supported (only EVM โ Cosmos)
