coinopai-mcp

Paid decision infrastructure for autonomous agents.

Source: https://github.com/forgemeshlabs/coinopai-mcp

An MCP server that charges AI agents per verified intelligence request — using x402 micropayments on Base. Every decision gets a decision_id. Every decision_id can be audited against real prices.

This repo is the MCP client layer; paid intelligence is served from hosted CoinOpAI x402 endpoints.

Wrong predictions are shown too. That's the point.

The agent calls a tool → the MCP server receives an HTTP 402 → automatically signs a USDC micropayment → retries with the payment header → data returned. Configure once, pay automatically from the configured low-balance wallet.

The Verified Loop ($0.27/cycle)

check_trade_preflight  ──→  get_crypto_decision  ──→  [wait 1h]  ──→  audit_trade_decision
       $0.05                      $0.15                                      $0.07

   Is now allowed?           CONSIDER_LONG/SHORT              GOOD_DECISION
   Cooldown check?           NO_ACTION                        BAD_DIRECTION
   Regime ok?                + decision_id                    NOISE
   Signal strength?          + next_step hint                 + pnl_pct

Every decision is self-verifying. The decision_id links the prediction to the outcome. The audit fetches real market prices and produces a verdict. Nothing is hidden.

Real Output

Step 1 — Preflight (BTC, $0.05)

{
  "allowed": true,
  "symbol": "BTC/USD",
  "market_state": "NORMAL",
  "signal_strength": 0.72,
  "regime": "TREND",
  "cooldown_remaining_seconds": 0
}

Step 2 — Decision (BTC, $0.15)

{
  "symbol": "BTC/USD",
  "suggested_action": "CONSIDER_LONG",
  "confidence": 0.72,
  "regime": "TREND",
  "decision_id": "a3f8c1d2-9472-4dfe-b459-5df17b282614",
  "next_step": "Call audit_trade_decision with this decision_id after 1h using window=1h"
}

Step 3 — Audit (1h later, $0.07)

{
  "decision_id": "a3f8c1d2-9472-4dfe-b459-5df17b282614",
  "direction_held": true,
  "pnl_pct": 0.82,
  "verdict": "GOOD_DECISION"
}

Live results from real runs:

Symbol	Decision	Confidence	1h Outcome	Verdict
XRP	SHORT	1.0	-0.54%	✅ GOOD_DECISION
ETH	LONG	0.68	-0.32%	❌ BAD_DIRECTION
BTC	LONG	0.40	+0.01%	— NOISE

It gets some right. It gets some wrong. The loop makes both visible.

Install

Claude Code

Add to ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coinopai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "coinopai-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY": "0x<your-base-wallet-private-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Code. The 9 tools appear automatically.

Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coinopai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "coinopai-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY": "0x<your-base-wallet-private-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Smithery

Not currently listed on Smithery. Use the npx install flow shown above until a verified public listing is live.

Registry status

Prepared MCP Registry identity: io.github.forgemeshlabs/coinopai-mcp. Refresh the public directory submission after publishing this package so old clawdbotworker entries stop being canonical.

Get a Wallet

1. Install Coinbase Wallet or any EVM wallet
2. Switch to Base network
3. Buy or bridge USDC ($1 = ~3 full verified cycles)
4. Use a dedicated low-balance Base wallet for agent payments and provide its private key locally via environment variable.

Your wallet key stays local. It never leaves your machine. Each payment is a signed micropayment — not a blanket approval.

Agent Code Example

// Step 1 — gate check ($0.05)
const pre = await mcp.call("check_trade_preflight", { symbol: "BTC" })
if (!pre.allowed) return  // cooldown, bad regime, or stale data

// Step 2 — get decision ($0.15)
const dec = await mcp.call("get_crypto_decision", { symbol: "BTC" })
if (dec.suggested_action === "NO_ACTION") return

// Store the decision_id — you'll need it to close the loop
const { decision_id, suggested_action, confidence } = dec

// Step 3 — act on the decision here...

// Step 4 — audit 1 hour later ($0.07)
const audit = await mcp.call("audit_trade_decision", {
  decision_id,
  window: "1h"
})
// verdict: "GOOD_DECISION" | "BAD_DIRECTION" | "NOISE"
console.log(audit.verdict, audit.pnl_pct + "%")

Every decision response includes a next_step field — your agent always knows when and how to audit.

Symbol unavailable? If a symbol isn't in the current Kronos cycle:

{
  "status": "UNAVAILABLE_THIS_CYCLE",
  "available_symbols": ["BTC/USD", "ETH/USD", "XRP/USD"],
  "retry_hint_seconds": 900
}

Route to an available symbol or wait 15 minutes for the next cycle.

Affiliate Attribution (via Pyrimid)

High-value tools accept an optional affiliate_id parameter. When provided, payment routes through the Pyrimid affiliate network — the affiliate earns a commission split from within the listed price. No extra cost to the caller.

How the split works

Direct call (no affiliate_id):
  Caller pays $0.15  →  CoinOpAI receives $0.15

Affiliate call (affiliate_id present):
  Caller pays $0.15  →  CoinOpAI: 79.2% ($0.1188)
                      →  Affiliate: 19.8% ($0.0297)
                      →  Protocol:   1.0% ($0.0015)

The buyer always pays the listed price. The split comes out of the vendor's portion.

Usage

Pass affiliate_id in any supporting tool call:

// As an agent or user
await mcp.call("get_crypto_decision", {
  symbol: "BTC",
  affiliate_id: "af_youraffiliateID"
})

Building a wrapper? Set it once via env

If you're building an agent framework, MCP wrapper, or automation that embeds CoinOpAI tools, set your affiliate ID as an environment variable. Every call through your wrapper earns you a commission automatically.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coinopai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "coinopai-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY": "0x<agent-wallet-key>",
        "PYRIMID_AFFILIATE_ID": "af_<your-affiliate-id>"
      }
    }
  }
}

The tool-level affiliate_id argument takes precedence over the env var. Callers can always override.

Without an affiliate_id

Normal x402 flow — CoinOpAI receives 100% of the listed price. Nothing changes for the caller.
