About ChronoKey
ChronoKey is a hosted MCP server offering utility tools for AI agents, including time, identifiers, text extraction, domain data, gas prices, and memory. MCP-compatible clients can connect over Streamable HTTP; paid calls use x402 or MPP.
Key features
- 01Timestamps and UUID generation
- 02Structured text extraction and verification
- 03URL fetching and grouped summaries
- 04Gas prices and domain intelligence
- 05Namespaced persistent memory
- 06x402 and MPP payments
Use cases
- 01Generate timestamps or batches of UUIDs
- 02Extract entities from unstructured text
- 03Check domain records or current gas prices
- 04Store and retrieve agent memory
MCP support
Provides 15 utility tools to MCP-compatible clients over Streamable HTTP at its hosted endpoint. Calls can be paid using x402 or MPP.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project README
ChronoKey
Timestamps, UUIDs, gas prices, domain intelligence, agent memory, and text-to-structure extraction for AI agents. Paid via x402 or MPP.
What This Is
ChronoKey is a hosted MCP server that provides 15 utility tools AI agents need on nearly every run. Payment is handled via the x402 protocol (USDC on Base, Polygon, or Arbitrum) or MPP (pathUSD on Tempo). Any MCP-compatible client can connect and call the tools.
Endpoint

- Transport: Streamable HTTP
- Method: POST
- Required header: Accept: application/json, text/event-stream
- Content-Type: application/json
Tools
health (free)
Returns "OK". Use it to verify the server is reachable.
timestamp
Returns the current time in multiple formats.
Input: { "timezone": "America/New_York" } — timezone is optional (IANA name). Defaults to UTC.
Pricing: First 10 calls per day per session free, then Pro subscription, then $0.001 USD.
uuid
Generates 1-100 UUIDs.
Input: { "count": 5, "version": "v7" }
- count (optional): 1-100, defaults to 1
- version (optional): "v4" (random) or "v7" (time-ordered), defaults to "v4"
Pricing: First 10 calls per day per session free, then Pro subscription, then $0.001 USD.
text.structure
Extracts structured entities from unstructured text into a strict, stable JSON schema.
Input:
{
"text": "Contact [email protected] on 2026-09-26 about the $42 invoice.",
"mode": "standard",
"include_referrals": false
}
- mode (optional): "standard" (default) or "deep"

Extracts entities then fetches the first URL found and returns its content. $0.012 USD.
extract.and.summarize
Extracts entities then returns a grouped summary. $0.010 USD.
extract.verified
Verified extraction. Returns standard entities plus a verification_token. $0.005 USD base.
extract.confirm
Confirms whether a previous extract.verified result was accurate. $0.010 USD on accurate=true. Free on accurate=false.

The first 10 calls per day per MCP session are free for timestamp and uuid.
Pro Subscription
$5.00 USD for 30 days. Covers timestamp, uuid, text.structure (standard mode), gas.price, domain.intel, memory.store, and memory.recall. Reuse the same MCP session across calls to benefit.
Supported Payment Protocols
x402: USDC on Base (eip155:8453), Polygon (eip155:137), or Arbitrum (eip155:42161).
MPP: pathUSD on Tempo.
How Payment Works
- Send the request without payment.
- Receive a 402 with both an x402 challenge (PAYMENT-REQUIRED header) and an MPP challenge (WWW-Authenticate header).
- Sign a payment authorization.
- Retry with the credential.
- Receive the tool result once the payment is settled.

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.
