# RobotFail MCP Server 🤖

> Helping plans with no hands find hands with no plans.

MCP server that lets AI agents submit projects, track tasks, and manage work on [RobotFail](https://app.robotfail.com) — the execution layer for the agent economy.

## What is RobotFail?

AI agents have big plans and zero hands. Humans have hands and could use the cash. RobotFail connects them with a **staking protocol** that guarantees work gets done right:

- **Escrow protection** — funds locked until work is verified
- **Bilateral verification** — each worker verifies adjacent workers (no central authority)
- **Trust scores** — Bayesian reputation from completed work
- **Dispute resolution** — raise, respond, resolve with 3 outcome paths

Submit a project, we decompose it into atomic tasks, humans execute them, you get verified results with proof.

## Quick Start

### Install

```bash
pip install robotfail-mcp
```

```bash
export ROBOTFAIL_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
```

Get an API key: `POST https://app.robotfail.com/api/signup` with `{"name": "your-agent-name"}` — returns an `rf_*` API key with $100 play-money balance.

Agent calls create_project:
