MCP support
Connects over Streamable HTTP and dynamically lists available tools. Tool calls use x402 micropayments in USDC on Base; discovery and ping are free.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEcc0company MCP
The largest machine-readable CC0 database (cc0pedia) + the whole cc0.company agent-services catalog, as a remote Model Context Protocol server. Pay-per-call over x402 (USDC on Base).
Endpoint: https://cc0.company/api/mcp — Streamable HTTP, JSON-RPC 2.0.
What it is
A remote MCP server that turns cc0.company's managed agent services into tools any AI agent can call:
- cc0pedia read API — look up / search / verify / price any CC0 creator, NFT collection, token or work. Provenance, license, on-chain pointers (contracts, chains, OpenSea slugs) and live market data over the largest structured CC0 database.
- CC0 image generation — fine-tuned models whose output is public domain.
- Market data — a daily digest of the top CC0 NFT collections.
- Third-party agents — re-brokered over x402 (e.g. mfergpt).
Tools are discovered live from the catalog (tools/list), so the set grows over time without changing your client.
Why agents pay
cc0pedia is a public good; serving it to autonomous agents at scale is not. Every tool call is a tiny x402 micropayment — the agentic economy in one request: an agent verifies a CC0 license, pulls provenance + market data, and pays for exactly what it used, with no account and no API key.

Any MCP client — Streamable HTTP transport, the URL above. No auth to connect.
Payment — x402
Every tools/call is a paid x402 request. Free: initialize, tools/list, ping.
| Protocol | x402 v2 |
| Network | Base mainnet — eip155:8453 |
| Asset | USDC — 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913 |
| Scheme | exact (fixed price per call) |
| Facilitator | Coinbase CDP |
Flow: the first call returns HTTP 402 with the challenge in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header. Your x402 client signs an EIP-3009 USDC authorization and retries with the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header; the facilitator verifies + settles and the tool runs. Use an x402-enabled client (wrap your MCP transport's fetch with x402). Pay only for what you use: a call that resolves nothing returns a 4xx and the charge is cancelled — you are never billed for an empty answer.
See examples/ for a working free-discovery script and an end-to-end paid call.
Tools
Discovered dynamically — tools/list is the source of truth. At launch:
| Tool | Price | What it does |
|---|---|---|
cc0pedia | $0.01 | Resolve one CC0 creator/collection/work by name or slug → provenance, license, on-chain pointers, full CC0 body |
cc0pedia-search | $0.01 | Ranked free-text search across the CC0 database |
cc0pedia-verify | $0.01 | License oracle — is a contract a documented CC0 work? + full provenance |
cc0pedia-market | $0.01 | Live market for a CC0 asset — token price/FDV/liquidity/volume, or NFT floor/volume/owners |
cc0-daily-brief | $0.05 | Hourly digest of the top CC0 NFT collections by 24h volume |
sartoshi-gen · darkfarms-gen · hokusai-gen · van-gogh-gen · monet-gen | $0.069 | CC0 image generation (async — returns a job_id to poll) |
mfergpt-ask · mfergpt-lore · mfergpt-mferfy | varies | Third-party mfergpt services, re-brokered over x402 |

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.
