Hashlock

Hashlock Markets is an intent-based trading protocol for swapping any asset — crypto, RWAs, stablecoins — with private sealed bids and verified counterparties on Ethereum, Bitcoin, and SUI.

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 — trustless settlement infrastructure for the autonomous 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 across Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Sui (expanding to Base, Arbitrum, Solana, TON).

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.

  "mcpServers": {
    "hashlock": {
      "url": "https://hashlock.markets/mcp",
      "transport": "streamable-http",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <token from hashlock.markets/sign/login>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option B — Local stdio via npx

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

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
