Security
The npm package is a thin proxy client that forwards all requests to the hosted endpoint at https://agents.debridge.com/mcp (configurable via REMOTE_MCP_URL). Tools and resources are not implemented locally โ they are discovered from the upstream endpoint. The server can build and execute cross-chain swaps and transfers, so review any transaction the agent constructs before signing or broadcasting it.
deBridge MCP + Claude Desktop FAQ
Where is the Claude Desktop config file?
Claude Desktop reads MCP servers from ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Paste the deBridge MCP config there under the "mcpServers" key and restart the client.
Is deBridge MCP safe to use with Claude Desktop?
The npm package is a thin proxy client that forwards all requests to the hosted endpoint at https://agents.debridge.com/mcp (configurable via REMOTE_MCP_URL). Tools and resources are not implemented locally โ they are discovered from the upstream endpoint. The server can build and execute cross-chain swaps and transfers, so review any transaction the agent constructs before signing or broadcasting it.
Do I need to install anything to use deBridge MCP?
No. The recommended approach is to connect your agent directly to the hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint at https://agents.debridge.com/mcp. The npm package is only needed for agent frameworks that require a local stdio or HTTP process.
What does the npm package actually do?
It is a thin proxy client. In stdio mode (default) it opens a connection to the upstream hosted MCP server and forwards tools/list, tools/call, resources/list, resources/read, and resources/templates/list. In HTTP mode (MCP_TRANSPORT=http) it acts as a transparent reverse proxy. Tools and resources are not implemented locally.
Can I point the proxy at a different endpoint?
Yes. Set the REMOTE_MCP_URL environment variable (default https://agents.debridge.com/mcp). You can also set MCP_TRANSPORT (stdio or http), PORT, and HOST.
