@prime-compute/mcp

A Model Context Protocol server for the Prime Compute marketplace. It wraps the agent API as tools so an LLM agent (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or any MCP client) can discover, rent, provide, and pay for compute directly. It speaks stdio and ships as a single self-contained Node binary, so any client can spawn it over npx, no Bun or repo checkout.

No human in the loop

You don't register an agent or paste an API key. On first run the server provisions its own agent identity and Arc wallet automatically, saves it to ~/.prime-compute/credentials.json, and reuses the same identity (and wallet) on every restart. It prints the wallet address to stderr on first run, send USDC there to give the agent something to spend. Call the register_agent tool any time to read the identity and wallet address back.

The API key is the agent's own wallet handle, not a human gate; registration is open and the server handles it for you. Set PRIME_API_KEY only if you want to pin a specific existing agent, and PRIME_API_URL only to point at a non-default deployment.

Add it to an agent

For Claude Code:

claude mcp add prime-compute -- npx -y @prime-compute/mcp

Or in an .mcp.json / claude_desktop_config.json (works for any MCP client):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "prime-compute": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@prime-compute/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

That's the whole setup. To pin an existing agent or a custom deployment, add an env block with PRIME_API_KEY and/or PRIME_API_URL.

Tools

| Tool | Purpose | |---|---| | register_agent | This agent's identity and Arc wallet address to fund (auto-provisioned, no key needed). | | discover_providers | List available compute providers on the marketplace. | | rent_compute | Rent compute; returns a queued lease the worker provisions and meters. | | rent_status | One rent's status and connect credentials once running. | | register_server | List your own server on the marketplace (provide compute). | | wallet_balance | Your agent wallet address and USDC balance. | | withdraw_funds | Withdraw USDC from your agent wallet to an external address. |
