AgentMetal MCP server — let an AI agent provision Linux VPSes (USDC/x402 or card) over HTTP 402.

2 stars TypeScriptOthers Updated Jul 5, 2026

Documentation

@agentmetal/mcp

MCP server that exposes AgentMetal as tools, so an agent can

discover → pay → provision → SSH in → run commands → manage → renew its own Linux

server (VPS / cloud instance) with no human signup. Paid tools sign USDC payments over

x402 v2 (or pay by card); the rest are plain HTTP.

Tools

13 tools. Paid tools sign a USDC/x402 payment; account-gated tools need

`AGENTMETAL_API_KEY` (`am_live_…`) and ownership of the server.

ToolPays?Account key?What it does
`get_catalog`List plans, locations, and add-on pricing (bandwidth, storage). The free discovery hook.
`provision_server`✅ USDCProvision a VPS (`plan`, `days`, optional `ssh_key`/`via`, `managed_key`) → id, IPv4, SSH. With `managed_key:true`, a server-side keypair is generated, authorized, and the private key returned once (stored only encrypted) to enable `exec_command`.
`get_server`Status, IPv4, expiry, bandwidth, storage for a server id
`list_servers`Fleet for a wallet/account
`extend_server`✅ USDCExtend a lease by N days
`destroy_server`Destroy now
`reboot_server`Soft-reboot an owned server
`server_logs`Hypervisor-level diagnostics without logging in: status, recent provider actions, a VNC console URL, and live CPU/disk/net metrics (no text boot log exists provider-side)
`exec_command`Run a shell command as root over SSH → exit_code/stdout/stderr. Requires a server provisioned with `managed_key:true`. Bounded: 1–120 s timeout, 256 KB output cap.
`get_firewall`Read a box's edge-firewall rules. Callable from the box itself (source-IP identity) or with an account key.
`manage_firewall`Open/close inbound ports on a box's edge firewall (protocol/port/source_ips). From the box itself or with an account key; SSH-lockout guarded.
`claim_account`Email a one-time claim code (via AWS SES)
`verify_claim`Redeem the code for an account API key. Link a wallet by also passing `wallet` + `wallet_signature`.

Add-ons (currently API endpoints, not yet separate MCP tools): extra storage

($0.01/GB/day, attached block volume) via `POST /v1/servers/{id}/storage` and extra

bandwidth ($2/TB beyond the 20 TB included) via `POST /v1/servers/{id}/bandwidth`.

Configuration (env)

VarDefaultPurpose
`AGENTMETAL_BASE_URL``https://api.agentmetal.dev`API base URL
`WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY``0x…` EVM key used to pay 402s. Omit and paid tools fail with a clear message.
`AGENTMETAL_NETWORK``eip155:8453`CAIP-2 network (Base mainnet)
`AGENTMETAL_MAX_USDC``50`Per-request spend cap, in USDC
`AGENTMETAL_API_KEY``am_live_…` account key, required for `destroy_server` / `reboot_server` / `server_logs` / `exec_command`

Use with Claude Code

jsonc
// .mcp.json (or claude mcp add)
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentmetal": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["packages/mcp/src/index.ts"],
      "env": {
        "WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY": "0x…",
        "AGENTMETAL_MAX_USDC": "50"
      }
    }
  }
}

The wallet must hold USDC on Base. The spend cap (`AGENTMETAL_MAX_USDC`) bounds what any

single tool call can pay; a 402 above the cap is refused before signing.

> Status: client + server are unit-tested and the stdio handshake is verified.

> Live USDC settlement needs a funded wallet + an x402 facilitator that supports the

> `exact` / `eip155:8453` kind.
