MCP support
The MCP server exposes tools for reading webpages, structured extraction, risk checks, screenshots, and PDFs. Paid calls use USDC on Solana through x402, with a trial and dry-run pricing option.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Every paid tool accepts dry_run: true, which returns the price and endpoint without paying.
Free trial
The first 3 calls of each tool are free per wallet. The server signs the x402 sign-in-with-x challenge with your key automatically (a signature only, no funds move), then pays normally once the trial is used up. Results show free_trial and trial_remaining. Set SOFTBOT_NO_TRIAL=1 to always pay.
Configuration (env vars)
SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY(required for paid calls) is the keypair of a wallet holding a little USDC (no SOL needed, since the facilitator pays network fees). It takes base58, or the JSON byte array fromsolana-keygen. Use a dedicated low-balance wallet.MAX_SPEND_USDCis the per-session budget. It defaults to0.25, and calls that would exceed it are refused.SOFTBOT_DRY_RUN=1puts every tool in price-only mode.SOLANA_RPC_URLis optional and defaults to the public mainnet RPC.

}
Safety
- The key is used only locally to sign x402 USDC transfers, and it is never logged or sent anywhere.
- The client refuses to pay if a server asks for more than the advertised price, or for an asset other than USDC.
- The budget resets when the server process restarts.

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.
