# @easynodexyz/mcp-x402

MCP server for AI agents to purchase VPS and blockchain node products via Easy Node's x402 API with USDC on Base.

## Overview

This package provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants to:

- List available VPS and blockchain node products
- Purchase products using USDC on Base network
- Check order status
- Manage running instances (list, view details, renew, rename)

The x402 payment flow is handled automatically - the agent simply calls the tools and payments are processed seamlessly.

## Quick Start

### 1. Install & Setup

```bash
npx @easynodexyz/mcp-x402 setup
```

This interactive wizard will:

- Prompt for your wallet private key
- Save configuration to `~/.easy-node/.env`
- Output the IDE config to copy

### 2. Configure Your IDE

Choose your IDE and add the MCP server configuration.

### Other MCP-Compatible Tools

For any MCP-compatible tool, use this stdio transport configuration:

| Field     | Value                       |
| --------- | --------------------------- |
| Command   | `npx`                       |
| Args      | `["@easynodexyz/mcp-x402"]` |
| Transport | `stdio`                     |

With environment variables:

```json
{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["@easynodexyz/mcp-x402"],
  "env": {
    "EASYNODE_PRIVATE_KEY": "0x...",
    "EASYNODE_API_URL": "..."
  }
}
```

---

### 3. Restart Your IDE

Restart to load the MCP server.

### 4. Use It

Ask your AI assistant:

- "List available VPS products"
- "Purchase 1 month of the VPS-XS product"
- "Check the status of order abc123"
- "List my instances"
- "Get connection details for instance xyz"
- "Renew instance xyz for 3 months"

## Configuration

### Environment Variables

| Variable               | Required | Default                       | Description                |
| ---------------------- | -------- | ----------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| `EASYNODE_PRIVATE_KEY` | Yes      | -                             | Wallet private key (0x...) |
| `EASYNODE_API_URL`     | No       | https://api.easy-node.xyz/api | API base URL               |
| `EASYNODE_MAX_PAYMENT` | No       | 100                           | Max USDC per transaction   |

### Config Resolution Order

Configuration is loaded from multiple sources (later overrides earlier):

1. `~/.easy-node/.env` - Global config
2. `./.env` - Project-level config
3. Environment variables - Highest priority

### Alternative: Manual Configuration

Instead of running setup, you can configure manually:

**Option A: Pass env vars in MCP config**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "easynode-x402": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@easynodexyz/mcp-x402"],
      "env": {
        "EASYNODE_PRIVATE_KEY": "0x..."
      }
    }
  }
}
```

**Option B: Create config file manually**

Create `~/.easy-node/.env`:

```
EASYNODE_PRIVATE_KEY=0x...
EASYNODE_API_URL=https://api.easy-node.xyz/api
EASYNODE_MAX_PAYMENT=1000
```

## MCP Tools

- `customName` (optional): Custom name for the instance (max 100 characters)

**Example:**

```
Purchase 3 months of product abc123
```

```
Check status of order xyz789
```

### list_instances

List all instances owned by the wallet.

**Example:**

```
List all my instances
```

### get_instance

Get detailed instance information including connection details.

**Parameters:**

- `instanceId` (required): Instance ID to look up
- `type` (required): Instance type (`"node"` or `"vps"`)

**Example:**

```
Get connection details for VPS instance abc123
```

### renew_instance

Renew an existing instance subscription.

**Parameters:**

- `instanceId` (required): Instance ID to renew
- `period` (required): Renewal period in months
- `type` (required): Instance type (`"node"` or `"vps"`)

```

### update_custom_name

Set or update the custom name of an instance.

**Parameters:**

- `instanceId` (required): Instance ID to update

- `customName` (required): Custom name (max 100 characters)

**Example:**

```
Rename instance abc123 to "my-validator"
```

## Security

- **Private keys** are stored with 600 permissions (owner read/write only)
- **Max payment limit** prevents accidental large transactions
- Wallet only signs EIP-3009 TransferWithAuthorization for USDC

## How x402 Works

1. Agent calls `create_order` with product details
2. First request returns HTTP 402 with payment requirements
3. Client signs USDC transfer authorization (EIP-3009)
4. Retry with payment signature
5. Server verifies, settles on-chain, creates order
6. Order returned to agent

## Troubleshooting

### "EASYNODE_PRIVATE_KEY is required"

Run `npx @easynodexyz/mcp-x402 setup` or set the environment variable.

### "Payment amount exceeds maximum"

Increase `EASYNODE_MAX_PAYMENT` in your config or env vars.

### "402 response missing payment-required header"

The API endpoint may not support x402. Check you're using the correct API URL.

### MCP server not appearing in IDE

1. Verify the config file location is correct for your OS
2. Check JSON syntax is valid
3. Restart the IDE completely (not just reload)
4. Check IDE logs for MCP connection errors

A4.2/5.0

Scored across 7 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct resource and action: products vs orders vs instances, with clear separation between listing, getting, creating, renewing, and updating. No two tools could be confused.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow the same verb_noun pattern with snake_case (list_products, create_order, get_instance, etc.). Naming is perfectly consistent and predictable.

Tool Count5/5

Seven tools is well-scoped for a VPS/node purchasing and management server. Each tool covers a distinct operation without bloat or triviality.

Completeness4/5

The core lifecycle is covered: product discovery, order creation/status, instance listing/detail/renewal, and naming. Missing cancel/termination operations are a minor gap, but agents can work around by not needing them or relying on external cancellation.
