How do I use agentmetal/mcp?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@agentmetal/mcp Provision a VPS for 14 days" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

@agentmetal/mcp

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.

Tools

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

Configuration (env)

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

Use with Claude Code

// .mcp.json (or claude mcp add)
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentmetal": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["packages/mcp/src/index.ts"],
      "env": {
        "WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY": "0x…",
        "AGENTMETAL_MAX_USDC": "50"
      }
    }
  }
}

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 / eip155:8453 kind.
