Jupiter DeFi Skill

Combines Jupiter APIs with Helius infrastructure. Covers token swaps, lending/borrowing, limit orders, DCA, token/price data, transaction submission via Sender, and real-time streaming.

The Jupiter skill makes your AI assistant an expert at building Solana DeFi applications. It combines Jupiter’s APIs — token swaps (Swap API V2), lending and borrowing (Lend), limit orders (Trigger), DCA (Recurring), and token/price data — with Helius infrastructure for transaction submission, fee optimization, asset queries, and on-chain monitoring.

Claude Code: /helius:jupiter (via plugin) or auto-invoked (standalone). Codex: $helius-jupiter (auto-discovered from .agents/skills/). API / Cursor / ChatGPT: Use the pre-built system prompt variants.

What It Covers

The Jupiter skill routes the AI across both Jupiter and Helius tools:

Domain	APIs Used	MCP Tools
Token Swaps	Jupiter Swap API V2 + Helius Sender	getPriorityFeeEstimate, getSenderInfo, parseTransactions
Lending & Borrowing	Jupiter Lend (earn + vaults)	getPriorityFeeEstimate, parseTransactions
Limit Orders	Jupiter Trigger API V2	getPriorityFeeEstimate, parseTransactions
DCA / Recurring	Jupiter Recurring API	getPriorityFeeEstimate, parseTransactions
Perps & Predictions	Jupiter Perps (on-chain), Predictions	getPriorityFeeEstimate, parseTransactions, getAccountInfo
Swap Widget	Jupiter Plugin	—
Token & Price Data	Jupiter data APIs (search, prices, Token Shield)	—
On-Chain Monitoring	Enhanced WebSockets, LaserStream	transactionSubscribe, accountSubscribe, laserstreamSubscribe
Portfolio & Discovery	DAS API, Wallet API	getAssetsByOwner, getWalletBalances, getWalletIdentity
Transaction Submission	Helius Sender	getPriorityFeeEstimate, getSenderInfo

Prerequisites

This skill requires the Helius MCP server and a Jupiter API key.

Helius MCP Server (Required)

The Helius MCP server provides blockchain tools for transaction submission, asset queries, and on-chain streaming.

claude mcp add helius npx helius-mcp@latest

Jupiter API Key (Required)

Jupiter REST endpoints require an API key passed via the x-api-key header. Get one at developers.jup.ag/portal.

If you install via the Claude Code plugin, the Helius MCP server starts automatically.

Standalone Installation

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/helius-labs/core-ai.git
   cd core-ai/helius-skills/helius-jupiter
   
2. Run the install script

   ./install.sh
   

   Installs to ~/.claude/skills/helius-jupiter/.

   Options:

   • ./install.sh --project — install to the current project
   • ./install.sh --path /custom/path — install to a custom directory
3. Install the Helius MCP server

   claude mcp add helius npx helius-mcp@latest
   
4. Set your API keys

   Helius:

   export HELIUS_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY
   

   Jupiter: Get a key from developers.jup.ag/portal and pass it via the x-api-key header on each request.

Example Prompts

Once installed, ask in plain English:

• “Build a swap interface using Jupiter and Helius Sender”
• “Place a limit order to buy SOL at $X”
• “Set up a recurring DCA buy of USDC into SOL every week”
• “Build a lending dashboard with Jupiter Lend”
• “Earn yield by depositing USDC into a Jupiter Lend pool”
• “Build a token selector with prices and risk signals”
• “Stream Jupiter swap fills at the lowest possible latency”

Composite Workflows

The Jupiter skill excels at tasks that span multiple APIs. Here are common patterns the AI handles automatically:

Swap / Trading App

Jupiter Swap API for quotes and routing across all DEXes, Helius Sender for transaction submission, DAS API for token lists, Priority Fee API for optimal fees.

Lending UI

Jupiter Lend for earn pools and vaults, Helius Sender for deposit/withdraw submission, DAS for token metadata, LaserStream for real-time position updates.

Limit Order / DCA App

Jupiter Trigger for limit orders and Recurring for DCA, Helius Sender for submission, DAS for token discovery, WebSockets to track fills.

Trading Bot / HFT

LaserStream for shred-level signals, Jupiter Swap for execution, Helius Sender for fast submission, Priority Fee API for optimal fees.

Portfolio + Trading Dashboard

Wallet API for holdings, DAS API for token metadata, Jupiter price/token data for live prices, Jupiter Swap for trading.
