Advanced tools
MCP server for AgentMetal — let an AI agent discover, pay for (USDC via x402 or card), provision, and manage Linux VPSes over HTTP 402. No signup.
MCP server that exposes AgentMetal as tools, so an agent can discover → pay → provision → renew a server with no human signup. Paid tools sign USDC payments over x402 v2; the rest are plain HTTP.
| Tool | Pays? | What it does |
|---|---|---|
provision_server | ✅ USDC | Provision a VPS (plan, days, optional ssh_key/via) → id, IPv4, SSH |
get_server | — | Status, IPv4, expiry for a server id |
extend_server | ✅ USDC | Extend a lease by N days |
destroy_server | — | Destroy now (needs AGENTMETAL_API_KEY) |
claim_account | — | Email a one-time claim code |
verify_claim | — | Redeem the code for an account API key |
| Var | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
AGENTMETAL_BASE_URL | https://api.agentmetal.dev | API base URL |
WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY | — | 0x… EVM key used to pay 402s. Omit and paid tools fail with a clear message. |
AGENTMETAL_NETWORK | eip155:8453 | CAIP-2 network (Base mainnet) |
AGENTMETAL_MAX_USDC | 50 | Per-request spend cap, in USDC |
AGENTMETAL_API_KEY | — | am_live_… account key for destroy / account routes |

The wallet must hold USDC on Base. The spend cap (AGENTMETAL_MAX_USDC) bounds what any
single tool call can pay; a 402 above the cap is refused before signing.
Status: client + server are unit-tested and the stdio handshake is verified. Live USDC settlement needs a funded wallet + an x402 facilitator that supports the
exact/eip155:8453kind.
