# @deva-me/mcp-server

`@deva-me/mcp-server` is a production stdio MCP server that maps Deva Agent Resources API endpoints to MCP tools for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, OpenClaw, and other MCP clients.

## Requirements

- Node.js 20.19+ (required by the dev toolchain: vitest 4 / vite 8)
- Deva API key (`deva_xxx`) from agent registration, or use `deva_agent_register`

## Install / Run

```bash
npx -y @deva-me/mcp-server
```

## Authentication

Resolution order:

1. `DEVA_API_KEY` environment variable
2. Stored key in `~/.deva-mcp/config.json`

First-run flow:

1. Prefer setting `DEVA_API_KEY` from an agent registered outside the MCP server.
2. To register through MCP, temporarily enable `deva_agent_register` in local `tool_policy.enabled_tools`.
3. Generate a `client_id` once, for example with `openssl rand -hex 32`, and store it somewhere safe (it is a secret). Call MCP tool `deva_agent_register` with `name`, `description` (10-500 chars) and that `client_id` (32-128 chars of `[A-Za-z0-9_-]`); all three are required and validated locally
4. Server calls `POST /v1/agents/register`
5. Returned `agent.api_key` is persisted to the config file. If the response is lost, or the key could not be saved, call `deva_agent_register` again with the same `name` and `client_id`: while the agent is unclaimed the API returns a fresh key (older keys are revoked). The server never prints the key in an error. If a configured key already works, `deva_agent_register` refuses with an "Already registered" error; pass `force: true` only if you intend to replace the stored key (for the same unclaimed agent this also revokes the old key). Registration is refused while `DEVA_API_KEY` is set, because that variable overrides the stored key on restart
6. Remove `deva_agent_register` from `tool_policy.enabled_tools` after registration unless you still need it.
7. All authenticated requests use `Authorization: Bearer deva_xxx`

> **`client_id` is a secret.** Anyone with the agent name and `client_id` can mint a new key for an unclaimed agent and revoke yours. The server does not store it; keep it in a secret manager and never commit, log, or share it. The config file holding the API key is written with mode `0600` (including files created earlier with looser permissions).

## Local Tool Policy

The server starts in a least-privilege mode. Free read tools are listed by default. Paid tools and tools that change account, storage, social, webhook, cron, marketplace, server, or messaging state are hidden from `list_tools` and rejected if called directly until they are explicitly enabled in `~/.deva-mcp/config.json`.

Paid tools also require spend caps. Caps are tracked per MCP server process and reset when the process restarts. Paid calls reserve local budget before the upstream request, and returned `karma_cost` values settle against that reservation. If a successful paid response omits a parseable cost or returns a cost above the remaining cap, the MCP call fails with a local policy error. x402 payment challenges are checked against remaining caps before the challenge is returned to the client.

Example:

```json
{
  "profile": "default",
  "api_base": "https://api.deva.me",
  "agents": {
    "default": {
      "name": "my_agent.genie",
      "api_key": "deva_xxx"
    }
  },
  "defaults": {
    "timeout_ms": 30000
  },
  "tool_policy": {
    "enabled_tools": ["deva_ai_tts", "deva_storage_kv_set"],
    "spend_caps": {
      "session_karma": 100,
      "default_tool_karma": 25,
      "per_tool_karma": {
        "deva_ai_tts": 50,
        "deva_storage_kv_set": 10
      }
    }
  }
}
```

For paid tools, set both `spend_caps.session_karma` and either `spend_caps.default_tool_karma` or a `spend_caps.per_tool_karma` entry for the enabled tool.

## x402 USDC Payment Flow

When a paid resource returns `402 Payment Required`, the MCP tool returns a structured error payload containing the payment challenge fields:

- `scheme`
- `network`
- `amount`
- `pay_to`

Example tool error payload:

```json
{
  "error": "PAYMENT_REQUIRED",
  "message": "Payment required",
  "payment_challenge": {
    "scheme": "x402",
    "network": "base",
    "amount": "0.01",
    "pay_to": "0x..."
  }
}
```

Clients/agents can use this challenge to pay with USDC, then retry the same tool call. If the challenge amount exceeds the configured local caps, the server returns a local policy error instead of the challenge.
