@hashlock-tech/mcp

Hashlock Markets — the atomic settlement layer for the agent economy. HTLC-based atomic settlement: live on Ethereum and Sui mainnets, with Bitcoin mainnet-ready via P2WSH HTLC scripts (no contract to deploy; signet-validated). No bridges, no custodians, no trust assumptions. Sealed-bid RFQ + HTLC fused into one atomic operation. The settlement primitive AI agents use to trade across chains. MCP-native (15 tools).

Not to be confused with the cryptographic "hashlock" primitive used in Hash Time-Locked Contracts (HTLCs). This package is the MCP server for the Hashlock Markets trading protocol and product at hashlock.markets.

Not affiliated with Hashlock Pty Ltd (hashlock.com), an independent Australian smart contract auditing firm. The two organizations share a similar name by coincidence only — distinct products, legal entities, jurisdictions, and founders.

What is this?

@hashlock-tech/mcp is the canonical Model Context Protocol server for Hashlock Markets — the atomic settlement layer for the agent economy. It lets AI agents (Claude, GPT, Cursor, Windsurf, any MCP-compatible client) create RFQs, respond as a market maker, fund HTLCs, and settle cross-chain atomic swaps on Ethereum and Sui mainnets, with Bitcoin mainnet-ready via P2WSH HTLC scripts (no contract to deploy; signet-validated). Expanding to Base, Arbitrum, Solana, TON. No bridges, no custodians, no trust assumptions.

Hashlock Markets features 5 industry-first primitives: BTC Collateral Vaults (Sui-native via Hashi), Forward OTC Settlement (T+24h/T+48h), Verified Counterparty Directory, Multi-leg Trade Atomicity, and Execution Rewards with Tiered KYC. Three interaction modes: AI ↔ AI, AI ↔ Human, Human ↔ Human.

Install

Option A (preferred) — Remote streamable-http

Connect Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf directly to the Hashlock Markets MCP endpoint. No local install.

Authentication

Hashlock Markets uses SIWE (Sign-In With Ethereum) bearer tokens.

1. Visit hashlock.markets/sign/login
2. Sign a message with your Ethereum wallet
3. Receive a 7-day JWT
4. Set it as HASHLOCK_ACCESS_TOKEN (stdio) or Authorization: Bearer <token> header (remote)
5. Re-sign after expiry

Available Tools

The HTLC settlement tools (create_htlc, withdraw_htlc, refund_htlc, get_htlc) work across three chains: Ethereum (EVM), Bitcoin (P2WSH HTLC), and Sui (Move HTLC). The compute-capacity tools are currently Sepolia / USDC only.

Tool Examples

Create an RFQ

"Create an RFQ to sell 2 ETH for USDT"

Tool: create_rfq
Input: { baseToken: "ETH", quoteToken: "USDT", side: "SELL", amount: "2.0" }

Respond to an RFQ

"Quote 3400 USDT per ETH on RFQ abc-123"

Tool: respond_rfq
Input: { rfqId: "abc-123", price: "3400.00", amount: "2.0" }

Check HTLC Status

"What's the HTLC status for trade xyz-789?"

Tool: get_htlc
Input: { tradeId: "xyz-789" }

Fund an HTLC

"Record my ETH lock transaction for trade xyz-789"

Tool: create_htlc
Input: { tradeId: "xyz-789", txHash: "0xabc...", role: "INITIATOR", chainType: "evm" }

Claim with Preimage

"Claim the HTLC using the preimage"

Tool: withdraw_htlc
Input: { tradeId: "xyz-789", txHash: "0xdef...", preimage: "0x1234..." }

Deprecated legacy packages

Do not use these — they depended on an intent REST API that was never shipped, and are superseded by @hashlock-tech/mcp:

• hashlock-mcp-server (unscoped, npm) — deprecated 2026-04-19
• langchain-hashlock (PyPI) — superseded for MCP-based integrations
