## Description
Discover and call x402 paid services — search by intent, filter by price/chain.

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "agent-tools-x402-directory": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","agent-tools-x402-directory"]
  }
}
```

# mcpserver — agent-tools.cloud directory + MCP discovery

[![smithery badge](https://smithery.ai/badge/kangletian/agent-tools-x402-directory)](https://smithery.ai/servers/kangletian/agent-tools-x402-directory)

The server that powers [agent-tools.cloud](https://agent-tools.cloud) — an open
directory of **x402 paid services** with a free MCP discovery endpoint.
Also listed on [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/servers/kangletian/agent-tools-x402-directory).

> **Note (2026-05-25):** the previously hosted paid Qwen3.6 relay and the paid
> vertical endpoints (signal / onchain / defi / portfolio) were retired after
> 30 days of zero external conversions. This repository now serves the
> directory site and the free MCP discovery server only.

## What this serves today

| Path | Auth | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| `GET /` (host = `agent-tools.cloud`) | free | Directory site (search / browse) |
| `GET /api/v1/search` | free | Faceted service search |
| `POST /api/v1/ask` | free, rate-limited | LLM-ranked recommendations grounded in directory candidates |
| `GET /api/v1/services/{slug}` | free | Service card with payment, call and quality metadata |
| `GET /api/v1/categories`, `/api/v1/stats` | free | Directory facets and aggregate stats |
| `POST /api/v1/submit` | free, rate-limited | Pending service submission with dedupe |
| `POST /mcp-discovery/` | free | **MCP streamable-http** discovery server |
| `POST /a2a` | free | **A2A JSON-RPC** agent (`message/send`): directory search + MCP safety scan |
| `GET /healthz` | free | Liveness |
| `GET /v1/models` | free | Upstream model listing (read-only) |
| `GET /.well-known/agent-tools.json` | free | Agent discovery manifest |
| `GET /.well-known/x402` | free | x402 v0.4 self-description (free-only) |
| `GET /.well-known/mcp.json` | free | MCP self-description |

The MCP discovery server is also published as a standalone PyPI package:
[`agent-tools-mcp`](https://pypi.org/project/agent-tools-mcp/)
([repo](https://github.com/JoursBleu/agent-tools-mcp)).

## MCP discovery tools

```
search(intent, top_k=5, category=None, max_price_usd=None, has_mcp=None)
ask_services(intent, top_k=5, category=None, max_price_usd=None, use_llm=True)
get(slug)
list_categories()
stats()
search_mcp_servers(intent, top_k=5, chain=None, require_healthy=False)
get_mcp_server(slug)
search_a2a_agents(intent, top_k=5, x402_only=False)
search_resources(intent, protocol=None, top_k=10)
scan_mcp_safety(endpoint_url, name="", description="", tools_text="")
register(url, name=None, description=None, mcp_url=None, category=None)
```

`search` accepts natural-language intent and ranks by FTS5 + popularity +
health. Each result carries a `match_reason` and a `confidence` score.
`ask_services` uses the same retrieval-first / LLM-rerank flow as `/api/v1/ask`.

`scan_mcp_safety` vets an MCP server (by endpoint URL) for malware /
prompt-injection lures before you connect: an already-indexed server returns our
latest stored verdict, an unknown one is probed live, scanned, and added to the
directory. The verdict comes from deterministic static rules (no code execution)
over the server's advertised name + description + tool docs. Rules cover
pipe-to-shell / base64-eval / PowerShell install cradles, bare-IP payload hosts,
prompt-injection phrasing, and MCP **tool-poisoning** coercion — "always call
this tool first", "before using any other tool you must…", hidden
`<IMPORTANT>` instructions, "list all API keys / include secrets in your
response", and coercion to read & forward `.key`/`.pem`/`.ssh`/`.env` files.
Source-code-oriented rules (SQL/command/code injection) are intentionally not
applied to natural-language descriptions to avoid false positives. Each live
call also runs a frontier-LLM second opinion as an advisory dimension.
It is also exposed as an A2A skill on `POST /a2a`. The hosted server carries the
full tool set above; the stdio `agent-tools-mcp` PyPI package ships the core
search tools only.

## Deploy

Currently deployed on `latex-tools` behind nginx (vhost: `agent-tools.cloud`).

```bash
cd /opt/mcpserver
sudo git pull
sudo systemctl restart mcpserver
```

systemd units live in [`deploy/`](deploy/):

- `mcpserver.service` — the ASGI app (uvicorn, 127.0.0.1:9100)
- `agent-tools-crawl.{service,timer}` — 6h directory crawler
- `agent-tools-health.{service,timer}` — endpoint health checks

## Config

See [`.env.example`](.env.example). Required:

- `UPSTREAM_BASE_URL` / `UPSTREAM_API_KEY` — used by `/v1/models`
- `AGENT_TOOLS_ASK_BASE_URL` / `AGENT_TOOLS_ASK_API_KEY` / `AGENT_TOOLS_ASK_MODEL` — LLM backend for `/api/v1/ask`
- `AGENT_TOOLS_SAFETY_BASE_URL` / `AGENT_TOOLS_SAFETY_API_KEY` / `AGENT_TOOLS_SAFETY_MODEL` — optional override for the `scan_mcp_safety` advisory LLM (falls back to the `AGENT_TOOLS_ASK_*` backend)
- `AGENT_TOOLS_DB_PATH` — SQLite path for the directory
- `AGENT_TOOLS_ASK_RATE_LIMIT_PER_MINUTE` / `AGENT_TOOLS_ASK_RATE_LIMIT_PER_DAY` — public ask abuse limits
- `METRICS_BEARER_TOKEN` — optional remote access token for `/metrics`; without it metrics are local-only
