## Documentation & README

# opencrater-mcp

An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server for **[OpenCrater](https://opencrater.to/monetize)** — the monetization network for the terminal. Surface OpenCrater inside any MCP client (Claude Code, Codex, …): live network stats, supported AI tools, and how to start earning USDC from your own MCP server or CLI tool.

No credentials needed — every tool reads public data.

## Tools

| Tool | What it returns |
|---|---|
| `opencrater_network_stats` | Live network momentum — Blips delivered, developers reached, budget committed to creators, USDC earned by maintainers, supported tools. |
| `opencrater_supported_tools` | The AI coding tools where OpenCrater Blips render. |
| `opencrater_get_started` | How a maintainer starts earning USDC with OpenCrater. |

## Install

Two ways to connect — a local stdio package, or the hosted remote endpoint.

### Local (stdio, via npx)

```bash
npx opencrater-mcp
```

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opencrater": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "opencrater-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Hosted (remote, Streamable HTTP)

No install — point any MCP client at the hosted endpoint:

```
https://opencrater.to/mcp
```

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opencrater": {
      "url": "https://opencrater.to/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

## Run from source

```bash
npm install
npm run build
node dist/index.js
```
