onlybrains-mcp

Structured reasoning as a service. 7 strategies via the BROLY engine. Every call mines $KONO on a Proof-of-Useful-Work blockchain. Drop it into any MCP-compatible AI assistant in one line.

Tools

reason -- Structured reasoning

Run a problem through one of 7 reasoning strategies. Returns a full trace, not just an answer.

{ "problem": "Why does mass warp spacetime?", "strategy": "ToT" }

tags -- Tag database query

Query 50+ tags across 12 UDT types: routes, tools, pages, blocks, tiers, agents, config.

{ "udt": "Tier" }
{ "search": "broly" }
{ "id": "reason" }

tiers -- Subscription pricing

View all tiers and API pricing. Free tier: 10 calls/hour.

{}

chain -- $KONO blockchain explorer

Inspect the blockchain: current state, recent blocks, or verify integrity.

{ "action": "state" }
{ "action": "recent" }
{ "action": "verify" }

Reasoning Strategies

Each strategy has a $KONO mining multiplier -- harder strategies earn more.

| Strategy | Style | Multiplier | |----------|-------|:----------:| | CoT | Chain-of-thought, step-by-step | 1x | | ToT | Tree-of-thought, branching exploration | 2x | | GoT | Graph-of-thought, connected reasoning | 3x | | BoT | Bag-of-thought, parallel angles | 1x | | SelfAsk | Recursive sub-question decomposition | 2x | | ReAct | Reason + Act interleaving | 3x | | Reflexion | Critique, revise, improve | 4x |

$KONO Blockchain

Every API and MCP call is a block. The useful computation (reasoning, tag query, chat) is the payload. A lightweight Proof-of-Work hash wraps it.

Block structure: index | timestamp | prev_hash | method | params_hash | result_hash | miner | reward | nonce | hash | difficulty

• Difficulty adapts: more callers = harder mining = more valuable $KONO
• 100 $KONO = 1 hour of Neuron tier access
• $KONO redeemable for BTC via /api/kono/withdraw

Mining rates

| Action | $KONO earned | |--------|:------------:| | Any API call (tags, chat) | 1 | | reason with CoT/BoT | 1 | | reason with ToT/SelfAsk | 2 | | reason with GoT/ReAct | 3 | | reason with Reflexion | 4 |

API Tiers

| Tier | Calls/hr | Strategies | Price | |------|:--------:|------------|------:| | Free | 10 | CoT | $0 | | Neuron | 100 | CoT, ToT, BoT | $4.99/mo | | Synapse | 1,000 | All 7 | $14.99/mo | | Cortex | 10,000 | All 7 | $49.99/mo | | Genius | Unlimited | All 7 | $99.99/mo |
