Hashlock

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 (6 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.

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

Tool	Description
create_rfq	Create a Request for Quote (RFQ) to buy or sell crypto OTC. Broadcasts to market makers for sealed-bid responses.
respond_rfq	Market-maker side: submit a price quote in response to an open RFQ.
create_htlc	Fund a Hash Time-Locked Contract for atomic OTC settlement (records on-chain lock tx hash).
withdraw_htlc	Claim an HTLC by revealing the 32-byte preimage — settles the atomic swap.
refund_htlc	Refund an expired HTLC after timelock — only the original sender, only post-deadline.
get_htlc	Query current HTLC status for a trade (both sides, contract addresses, lock amounts, timelocks).

All tools support three chains: Ethereum (EVM), Bitcoin (wrapped HTLC), and SUI (Move HTLC).

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Default	Description
HASHLOCK_ACCESS_TOKEN	Yes	—	7-day SIWE JWT from hashlock.markets/sign/login
HASHLOCK_ENDPOINT	No	https://hashlock.markets/api/graphql	GraphQL endpoint override (rarely needed)

Tool Examples

Create an RFQ

"Create an RFQ to sell 2 ETH for USDT"

Output: { rfqId, broadcast status }

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
