Akari Crypto Intel

akari-x402-mcp

An MCP server that exposes a live x402-paid crypto-intel API as tools any MCP host (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, custom agents) can call. Every tool is metered in USDC on Base — no API keys, no subscriptions, no signup.

Earn from it: this repo is also the starter kit for the Akari Builder Program — 40 % of every sale your copy refers goes back to your wallet, read straight off the paid resource URL.

No install at all: the same catalogue is served as a remote MCP endpoint — POST https://akari-x402.puzzling-marten.workers.dev/mcp (JSON-RPC 2.0). tools/list returns every paid route with its price in _meta.x402; akari_board is free. Point any MCP client at that URL.

The flagship tool is the decision, not the data: akari_alpha_brief ($1.00) returns the market regime, the ranked LONG/SHORT edges that cleared the full gate set (funding-carry × momentum confluence, $5M/$2M liquidity floors, TA + sentiment vetoes) with size/stop/target hints and invalidations, the avoid list, stand-down reasons and provenance. Free redacted preview: https://akari-x402.puzzling-marten.workers.dev/board.

# 1. install

# 2a. dry run — tools return the live HTTP 402 challenge (price, payTo, network, schema)
python server.py

# 2b. paying — point it at a Base wallet holding USDC (no ETH needed: the facilitator pays gas)

Omit AKARI_PRIVATE_KEY to explore the tools without spending anything — each call returns the 402 challenge instead of data.

How payment works

1. The tool calls the endpoint with no credentials and receives 402 Payment Required plus a base64 payment-required header describing price, asset, payTo and network (eip155:8453).
2. The bundled x402 client signs an EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization for exactly that amount — the payer needs USDC, not ETH.
3. The facilitator (Coinbase CDP) verifies and broadcasts, then the tool's request is retried with X-PAYMENT and the JSON comes back. Settlement is on-chain and auditable by anyone.

If you poll on a schedule, buy the pass instead

GET /x402/pass — $5.00 buys 30 days of every paid route, up to 5,000 calls (fair use). You get a bearer token back; send it as Authorization: Bearer akari_pass_… on the same URLs and the payment step disappears:

# buy once with any x402 client (pays $5 USDC on Base, returns the token in the JSON body)
tok=$(x402-pay https://akari-x402.puzzling-marten.workers.dev/x402/pass | jq -r .pass_token)
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $tok" https://akari-x402.puzzling-marten.workers.dev/x402/feed
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $tok" https://akari-x402.puzzling-marten.workers.dev/x402/pass/status

At $0.02 per call, polling one route hourly costs $14.40/month — the pass covers all of them for $5. GET /x402/pass/status is free and tells you calls used and the expiry without spending a call.

Builder Program (how to actually earn)

1. Copy this server (or any client) into your product.
2. Set AKARI_REF=0xYourPayoutWallet — every paid call you serve carries ?ref= on the resource URL.
3. Check earnings any time, no account needed: GET https://akari-x402.puzzling-marten.workers.dev/x402/affiliate?address=0xYourPayoutWallet Public board (unseeded, honest): /x402/affiliate/leaderboard.
4. Payouts: 40 % of referred gross, USDC on Base, monthly once accrued ≥ $1.00. Full terms, live prices and the exclusion rules: https://edvyno.github.io/akari-proof/builder.html

Notes

• Free endpoints you can inspect without paying: /market.json, /llms.txt, /x402/feed/preview, /.well-known/x402, /openapi.json.
• The desk publishes its real numbers, including losses — the data is live, not backfilled.
• This server is a thin client: it holds no keys beyond the payer wallet you choose to give it.
