About AgentsPodium Hosting
AgentsPodium Hosting is a gateway for agents to create and manage hosted AI agent instances. It supports MCP and A2A, forwarding each call to the account API with the caller’s own AgentsPodium credentials.
Key features
- 01Create, monitor, and manage instances
- 02Inspect platforms and instance health
- 03Pause, resume, rebuild, or delete instances
- 04Configure LLM keys, peers, and webhooks
- 05Check payment options
- 06Expose hosting documentation as a resource
Use cases
- 01Create a hosted instance through an agent
- 02Check an instance’s health or terminal details
- 03Pause or resume an existing instance
- 04Configure peers or webhooks for an instance
MCP support
A stateless Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint exposes tools for instance, platform, and payment management, plus a hosting documentation resource. Calls require the caller’s AgentsPodium API key or session token.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEagent-gateway
Lets other AI agents drive AgentsPodium hosting (create/monitor/manage
instances) through two machine protocols — MCP (Streamable HTTP) and A2A
(Agent2Agent JSON-RPC) — both backed by the existing account API at
https://agentspodium.com/api.
The gateway holds no state and no secrets of its own. Every call carries
the caller's own AgentsPodium API key (Authorization: Bearer ak_live_..., or
a session token), which is forwarded verbatim to the account API. Missing
that header always answers 401 with a JSON body pointing at
https://agentspodium.com/account ("API keys for agents") and
https://hosting.defispace.com/docs/auth.
One process serves both hostnames, selected by the Host header wherever a
path is shared between the two (only GET /); everything else defaults to
MCP behaviour, and mcp.agentspodium.com / a2a.agentspodium.com route to
the same Deployment.
Run locally
npm install
npm run build
ACCOUNT_API=https://agentspodium.com/api PORT=3200 npm start
# or, for iteration:
npm run dev
Env vars:
ACCOUNT_API— base URL of the account API (defaulthttps://agentspodium.com/api).PORT— HTTP port (default3200).A2A_HOST— hostname that selects A2A behaviour forGET /(defaulta2a.agentspodium.com).
Calling it
MCP — mcp.agentspodium.com/mcp
Streamable HTTP, stateless (no session id). Requires
Accept: application/json, text/event-stream.
# initialize
curl -s -X POST https://mcp.agentspodium.com/mcp \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ak_live_..." \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
-d '{
"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "initialize",
"params": {
"protocolVersion": "2025-06-18",
"capabilities": {},
"clientInfo": { "name": "example-client", "version": "0.1.0" }
}
}'
# call a tool
curl -s -X POST https://mcp.agentspodium.com/mcp \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ak_live_..." \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
-d '{
"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 2, "method": "tools/call",
"params": { "name": "list_platforms", "arguments": {} }
}'
Tools: list_platforms, list_instances, create_instance,
get_instance_health, get_instance_term, set_llm_key, pause_instance,
resume_instance, rebuild_instance, delete_instance, get_payment_options,
set_peers, set_webhook. Plus one resource, agentspodium://docs (the hosting docs).
A2A — a2a.agentspodium.com/
curl -s https://a2a.agentspodium.com/.well-known/agent-card.json
# structured (data part)
curl -s -X POST https://a2a.agentspodium.com/ \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ak_live_..." \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "message/send",
"params": {
"message": {
"parts": [{ "kind": "data", "data": { "skill": "create-instance", "params": { "engine": "hermes", "tier": "small", "name": "My Agent" } } }]
}
}
}'
# plain text (small command grammar)
curl -s -X POST https://a2a.agentspodium.com/ \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ak_live_..." \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 2, "method": "message/send",
"params": { "message": { "parts": [{ "kind": "text", "text": "platforms" }] } }
}'
Text grammar: create <engine> <tier> [name ...], health <id>,
term <id>, platforms, payment <id>. Anything else answers with the
skill list and the exact JSON shape.
Public, no auth: GET /catalog.json (proxy of the account API's
/a2a-catalog).
Deploy
docker build -t agentpodium-agent-gateway apps/agent-gateway
# push, then apply:
kubectl apply -f apps/agent-gateway/deploy/gateway.yaml
deploy/gateway.yaml creates namespace ap-agentgw, a Deployment/Service on
port 3200, and two HTTPRoutes (mcp.agentspodium.com,
a2a.agentspodium.com) against the shared akash-gateway Gateway. Swap
__IMAGE_TAG__ for the built image tag before applying.
Comments
New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
