A side-by-side look at the Galactic Bridge and Swap API MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Galactic Bridge for finance & fintech work as a local process; choose Swap API for finance & fintech as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
GB_API_URL, GB_PRIVATE_KEY.list_supported_networks, scan_token_networks, find_bridge_route.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.

list_supported_networksThe 14 networks, with chain key, chainId, LayerZero eid and native symbol.scan_token_networksGiven a token address, every network it exists on and its OFT contract on each.find_bridge_routeResolves a route between two networks: OFT contract, whether the direction is enabled right now, the fee, and — with `amount` + `recipient` — a ready-to-sign transaction (plus an ERC-20 approval when the token bridges through a separate adapter).No tool names declared yet. Check the project README from the listing page.
Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
