RAVN tools (10, 3 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsravn_btc_coverageFreeFor a swap where native BTC is the source, not every token on the destination chain is reachable. Returns which of ravn_tokens's list on `chainId` a BTC venue can actually route to, and how many venues serve each, so you can build a token list that matches what will really quote instead of discovering it one NO_LIQUIDITY at a time. BTC-as-source only — selling a token INTO BTC isn't restricted the same way (nearly any token can be sold into BTC), so this has nothing useful to say about that direction.
ravn_btc_prepare_sendwrite actionFreeTurns a DEPOSIT-type ravn_execute result (deposit.address + deposit.amount) into a ready-to-sign PSBT, so you don't have to write your own UTXO selection and fee-estimation code. If that result also has a `fee` (an integrator fee RAVN collects beside the deposit), pass its fee.address as feeAddress and fee.amount as feeAmountSats: the PSBT then pays it as a second output of the same transaction, which is the only place RAVN looks for it. Fetches your UTXOs and the current network fee rate from mempool.space (public, no auth). RAVN never sees or touches a private key — sign the returned PSBT with your own wallet and broadcast it yourself. Only one signer is ever needed (unlike PSBT flows that require coordinating signatures across multiple UTXO-holding wallets), because every RAVN BTC-source venue resolves to a plain payment to the deposit address (plus RAVN's fee output, when there is one).
ravn_chainsFreeEvery chain RAVN lists a token registry for (see ravn_tokens). Static, doesn't change per request, safe to cache instead of hardcoding a chain table.
ravn_executewrite actionFreeTurn a quoteToken from ravn_quote into an execution payload. Returns one of three shapes (executionType): TRANSACTION (sign and broadcast yourself), SIGNATURE (sign, RAVN submits), or DEPOSIT (send the input asset to a given address). RAVN never takes custody of funds — you always sign or send from your own wallet. TRANSACTION and SIGNATURE may also include an `approval` — an ERC-20 approve() you must broadcast and wait to be MINED before the transaction/signature, or it fails (reverts on TRANSACTION; on SIGNATURE the order is accepted and silently never fills). Only present when the sold token needs it — omitted for native-coin sells and already-approved tokens.
ravn_healthFreeLiveness check across every venue RAVN routes through — call before a swap if you want to know whether a route is degraded ahead of time.
ravn_quoteFreeGet a swap quote from RAVN — same-chain or cross-chain, across 17 chains including native (non-wrapped) Bitcoin and Solana as source or destination. Free, no API key or payment required. Returns a quoteToken; pass it to ravn_execute to get a signable/broadcastable execution payload.
ravn_statusFreePoll the status of a swap by its quoteToken and ref from ravn_execute (statusRef, deposit address, or origin tx hash). Use the quoteToken execute returned — compose rebinds hop 1 onto hop 2's deposit. Status is authoritative where the venue exposes it; a swap the venue can't track reports 'unknown' rather than a guess.
ravn_submit_signaturewrite actionFreeFor a SIGNATURE-type ravn_execute result only: submit the signature(s) you collected (over typedData, and approvalData if present) to actually place the order. RAVN decodes the venue from quoteToken and routes to the right venue-specific submit path — you never touch a per-venue endpoint. Returns a statusRef — pass it to ravn_status as `ref` to poll this swap.
ravn_tokensFreeRAVN's own listed token registry for one chain — populate a token picker without hardcoding one. This is "what RAVN knows about and might route", not a per-pair routability guarantee for any specific pair; call ravn_quote to check that.
ravn_tokens_resolveFreeResolve an arbitrary token address to its metadata (symbol, name, decimals) via an on-chain read — for a paste-any-address flow, when the token isn't necessarily on ravn_tokens's list.

RAVN examples
Working code for the RAVN cross-chain swap API — including native Bitcoin, not wrapped BTC.
One integration covers 16 chains (14 EVM + Bitcoin + Solana). Every quote races 12 execution venues in parallel and the best net output wins. RAVN takes 0 bps on every route. Non-custodial: RAVN never holds your funds and writes no smart contracts of its own.
No signup required to start. Every example below runs anonymously.

cd ravn-examples && npm install

The contract
Four calls, always the same order.
POST /quote → best route + an opaque quoteToken
POST /execute → an execution payload tagged by executionType
(+ submit-signature, when the type is SIGNATURE)
GET /status → pending → processing → success (or refunded / failed)Everything branches on one field:
switch (execution.executionType) {
case "TRANSACTION": // sign and broadcast it yourself
case "SIGNATURE": // sign typed data; RAVN submits it, no gas
case "DEPOSIT": // send the input asset to an address
}The one thing that trips people up
An ERC-20 swap is really two transactions. Before any contract can move your tokens you must sign a separate on-chain permission — an approve(). TRANSACTION and SIGNATURE payloads carry that ready to send, as approval, whenever it's needed.
if (execution.approval) {
const hash = await wallet.sendTransaction(execution.approval);
await client.waitForTransactionReceipt({ hash }); // MINED, not just broadcast
}
// …now send the swapBroadcasting the swap before the allowance is mined reverts on transferFrom and the user eats the gas. On gasless venues (CoW, Bebop) it's quieter and worse: the order is accepted and simply never fills, with no error. Native-coin sells, already-approved tokens and DEPOSIT routes omit approval entirely.
RAVN doesn't read the chain for you, so approval can appear on a token you've already approved — check the allowance for approval.spender and skip it when it already covers approval.amount.
unlimitedRecommended: true (CoW) means the venue would rather you approve once for a large amount than pay approval gas on every swap. data still encodes the exact amount; raising it is your call.
Amounts
Always strings, always the token's smallest unit — wei, lamports, satoshis. Never floats. toBaseUnits() / fromBaseUnits() in src/ravn.ts convert safely.
Cross-ecosystem swaps
Selling on EVM and receiving BTC or SOL needs a destinationAddress — the payout chain has no idea what your EVM address is.
Rate limits
Pass it as x-api-key. CORS is enabled on every endpoint, so browser-side dapps and wallet widgets can call the API directly with no server-side proxy.
Errors
Branch on the stable code, never the message.

- It runs remotely at app.ravn.exchange. Add it to Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Desktop with the snippets above, or call it through the mcp.market gateway without installing anything.
- Does RAVN need an API key?
- Not as far as the registry entry and our scan can tell: no credentials are declared or required.
- Is RAVN maintained?
- The last commit was 42 days ago (2026-09-25). The latest release is v1.0.3.
- Is RAVN up?
- 100% of our last 28 checks got an answer. We check remote servers about four times a day.
- How does RAVN compare with other MCP servers?
- safety score 81/100 (higher than 62% of 48,243 servers); tools 10 (the typical server has 7); tools that change things 30% (typical: 0%. Fewer write tools means less an agent can break). Full comparison.
