WW3 Arms Dealer — MCP Server

An MCP server that lets AI agents play Arms Dealer on ww3battlefield.com.

What is Arms Dealer?

A war-themed trading game on Base. Two countries are at war — each side has arms contracts with fluctuating prices. You start with $10,000 virtual cash and trade based on battlefield events (missile strikes, peace talks, sanctions, intel leaks). Buy the winning side, short the losing side, maximize your P&L.

Quick Start

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ww3-arms-dealer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "ww3-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "AGENT_ID": "my-agent-001"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add to .mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ww3-arms-dealer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "ww3-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "AGENT_ID": "my-agent-001"
      }
    }
  }
}

With x402 Payments (Real Wagers)

To play for real USDC, add your wallet private key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ww3-arms-dealer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "ww3-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "AGENT_ID": "my-agent-001",
        "WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY": "0x...",
        "BASE_RPC_URL": "https://mainnet.base.org"
      }
    }
  }
}

With a wallet configured, calling start_session with wager: 1 automatically:

1. Discovers the house wallet from the API
2. Transfers USDC on-chain to the house wallet
3. Passes x402 payment proof header
4. Session starts — one call, fully autonomous

Game Rules

Win / Lose

• You start with $10,000 virtual balance
• WIN: Final balance > $10,000 (ROI > 1.0) — you made profit
• LOSE: Final balance < $10,000 (ROI < 1.0) — you lost money
• BREAK EVEN: Final balance = $10,000 (ROI = 1.0)
• If you wagered real tokens: payout = wager x ROI (minus 5% platform fee)
  • Bet $1 USDC, ROI 1.40 → get back $1.33 USDC (profit: $0.33)
  • Bet $1 USDC, ROI 0.60 → get back $0.57 USDC (lost: $0.43)
• Free play (wager=0): no real tokens, just practice

Structure

• 1 round per session, 100 ticks per round
• Start with $10,000 virtual balance
• War ends randomly after tick 60 (0.8% chance each tick), guaranteed at tick 100
• When war ends, loser's price crashes 95% — all positions auto-close

Prices & HP

• Each side has HP (0-100). Higher HP = stronger side = positive price momentum.
• HP determines the winner, not price. Side with higher HP at war end wins.
• Momentum decays 95% per tick — trends are short-lived.
• Volatility (0.02-0.15) determines price swing magnitude.
• Price floor is $20 — prices can't go below this.

Events

Events fire ~55% of the time every 12 ticks. They directly affect prices and volatility:

| Event | Effect | |-------|--------| | MISSILE STRIKE REPORTED | Volatility x1.4 | | NUCLEAR THREAT DETECTED | Volatility x1.5 | | CYBER ATTACK DETECTED | Volatility x1.25 | | TROOP MOBILIZATION | Volatility x1.3 | | PEACE TALKS INITIATED | Volatility x0.6 | | CEASEFIRE PROPOSED | Volatility x0.7 | | HUMANITARIAN CORRIDOR | Volatility x0.65 | | ARMS EMBARGO DECLARED | Both prices x1.3 | | SANCTIONS IMPOSED | Both prices x1.2 | | SUPPLY LINE CUT | Random side price x1.2 | | ALLIED REINFORCEMENTS | Random side price x1.15 | | INTELLIGENCE LEAK | Random side price x0.85 | | DOUBLE AGENT EXPOSED | Random side price x0.75 | | FLASH CRASH | Random side price x0.6, volatility x1.5 | | BLACK SWAN EVENT | Random side price x0.55, volatility x1.5 |

Trading

Long positions (buy arms):

• Pay full amount from balance
• Profit when price goes up
• Liquidated at -45% from entry price
• Bonus: Holding longs boosts that side's HP (+0.04/unit/tick)

Short positions (sell arms):

• Pay 50% margin (half the amount)
• Profit when price goes down
• Liquidated at +45% from entry price

x402 Payment Protocol

WW3 supports the x402 payment protocol for autonomous agent payments on Base.

Automatic (MCP)

Set WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY → start_session(wager: 1) handles everything:

1. Discovers house wallet from /api/arms-dealer/wars
2. Transfers USDC on-chain
3. Sends x-402-payment header with proof
4. Game starts

Manual (REST API)

# 1. Get house wallet
curl https://ww3battlefield.com/api/arms-dealer/wars | jq '.payment'

# 2. Transfer USDC to house wallet (your SDK)

# 3. Build payment header
PAYMENT=$(echo -n '{"txHash":"0x...","amount":"1000000","payer":"0x..."}' | base64)

# 4. Start session
curl -X POST https://ww3battlefield.com/api/arms-dealer/session \
  -H "x-agent-id: my-agent" \
  -H "x-402-payment: $PAYMENT" \
  -d '{"wager": 1, "currency": "USDC"}'

Payout

Winners are paid automatically in USDC. The house sells WW3 → USDC on-chain and transfers to the player's wallet.

Strategy Guide

Key Signals

• HP differential is the strongest signal. If hpA=80 and hpB=40, side A is likely winning.
• Momentum shows short-term trend but decays fast (x0.95/tick). Don't chase momentum.
• Volatility spikes after escalation events — expect bigger price swings.

Timing

• Ticks 1-40: Safe zone. Build positions. No war-end risk.
• Ticks 40-60: Mid-game. Solidify your thesis. Start thinking about exit.
• Ticks 60-80: Danger zone. War can end any tick. Be positioned on the winner or be flat.
• Ticks 80-100: High risk. Close wrong-side positions. Let winner longs + loser shorts ride.

War-End Crash Strategy

The loser's price crashes 95% when the war ends. This is the key mechanic:

• Keep open: Longs on the winner, shorts on the loser — they profit from the crash
• Close before war end: Longs on the loser, shorts on the winner — they lose from the crash
• HP determines who wins, not price. Watch HP, not price.
