MCP mode

AgentCash can run as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, giving your AI client direct tool access to all AgentCash capabilities: paid API calls, endpoint discovery, wallet management, and authenticated requests. MCP mode is one of three ways to use AgentCash, alongside the CLI and the agent skill.

When to use MCP mode

MCP mode is ideal when your AI client supports MCP and you want:

Tool-based access: the agent calls AgentCash tools directly
Structured responses: tool responses come back as structured data the agent can parse
Automatic integration: the tools are available in the agent’s context with no extra setup

Quick install

The guided installer detects your client:

npx agentcash install

Or install for a specific client:

Claude Code
Cursor
Claude Cowork
Claude Desktop
Other clients

claude mcp add agentcash --scope user -- npx -y agentcash@latest

npx agentcash install --client cursor

Or add manually to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentcash": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "agentcash@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Follow the guided install, or add manually to your config file (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentcash": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "agentcash@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving.

Available tools

When running in MCP mode, AgentCash exposes these tools to your agent:

Tool	What it does
`fetch`	HTTP request with automatic SIWX auth and payment
`fetch_with_auth`	Deprecated alias for `fetch`
`get_balance`	Total wallet balance across supported networks
`list_accounts`	Per-network balances, addresses, and deposit links
`search`	Find API providers by natural-language query
`check_endpoint_schema`	Probe pricing and schema without paying
`discover_api_endpoints`	Find all endpoints on an origin
`redeem_invite`	Redeem an invite code for free USDC

Verify installation

Start a session with your AI client and ask:

What is my AgentCash balance?

The agent should call the get_balance tool and return your total balance. If you later need deposit links or network-specific addresses, the agent should call list_accounts.

Server options

You can pass flags to the MCP server process:

Flag	Description
`--verbose` / `-v`	Enable debug output on stderr
`--quiet` / `-q`	Suppress all stderr output
`--dev`	Use development endpoints (localhost)
