1cent Web Intelligence for AI Agents

Give AI agents safe, bounded web intelligence without subscriptions, API keys or handing a crawler unrestricted network access. Start with three free MCP tools; pay only for the URL operation used. Production uses x402 v2, Base Mainnet USDC and PayAI.

Try the real safe fetch path in one command — fixed example.com, no payment:

curl -sS https://1cent.maxzoa.ru/v1/demo/live-pulse

Or preview one URL of your choice without payment, limited to one preview per client and UTC day:

curl -sS "https://1cent.maxzoa.ru/v1/demo/preview?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2F"

Production exposes 32 paid REST/MCP operations plus three free MCP tools:

catalog.tools.search — find the correct operation and live price without a URL fetch;
demo.url.pulse — inspect a fixed precomputed output sample without payment or network access.
demo.live.pulse — run the real safe service against fixed example.com, rate-limited.

Public MCP discovery uses navigable dot-notation (web.url.status, web.site.openapi). Pre-0.6 underscore names remain accepted as compatibility aliases but are intentionally omitted from tools/list.

MCP also publishes one buyer prompt (choose_url_tool) and one static buyer-guide resource (onecent://buyer-guide). Every input field includes constraints, examples and machine-readable descriptions so agents can choose and call tools correctly on the first attempt.

Glama release verification uses the repository's onecent-glama stdio entry point. It loads the same MCP tool registry as production for schema inspection; it does not provide a payment bypass or a second implementation of paid URL operations.

Directory status is checked with dated evidence in Marketplace quality report. A page returning HTTP 200 alone is not counted as a successful listing: it must be searchable, current and installable.

Buyer setup starts with a no-payment diagnostic:

onecent doctor

Generate or install a secret-free MCP client configuration:

onecent install --client claude
onecent install --client cursor --apply
onecent install --client vscode --apply
onecent install --client codex

For MCP clients without native x402 signing, install the local Buyer Bridge:

pipx install "onecent[buyer] @ git+https://github.com/maxzoa/1cent.git"
onecent wallet set
onecent bridge --max-usdc-per-call 0.001 --daily-limit-usdc 0.01

Manual one-call approval is the default. The OS keyring holds the buyer secret; 1cent, remote MCP and catalog services never receive it. UNKNOWN outcomes are never retried. See Buyer Bridge for Claude, Cursor, VS Code and Codex setup.

The direct CLI also refuses a paid call unless the buyer explicitly supplies a maximum amount, confirms Base Mainnet and types the one-call confirmation. See examples/buyer-python and examples/buyer-node.

Node buyers can use the release package in packages/onecent-buyer:

cd packages/onecent-buyer
npm ci
npm exec -- onecent-buyer doctor

onecent watch provides finite, capped change monitoring. It is disabled by default, requires explicit Base network/asset/seller confirmations and stops on UNKNOWN without creating a new payment attempt.

PostgreSQL is the runtime source for tool availability and atomic Base USDC prices. Config values are clean-install fallbacks. Paid URL work begins only after successful payment checks.

Safety contract

public HTTP/HTTPS only; private, loopback, link-local and rebinding destinations fail closed;
strict input schemas; unknown fields rejected;
bounded redirects, response bodies, extracted text, concurrency and queue depth;
payment identifier, request fingerprint and idempotent replay protection;
UNKNOWN settlement never retried automatically;
no seller private key, buyer key, Docker socket or JavaScript execution on the server;
Streamable HTTP host/origin protection enabled for remote MCP.
optional signed x402 offers and settlement receipts use a dedicated Ed25519 did:web key; they never expose or reuse a buyer or seller private key.

Local quality checks

python -m venv .venv
.venv/Scripts/pip install --require-hashes -r requirements-dev.lock
.venv/Scripts/pip install --no-deps -e .
ruff check .
mypy
pytest -q
python scripts/validate_release.py
docker compose --env-file .env.example config
docker compose --env-file .env.example build
pip-audit --no-deps -r requirements.lock --progress-spinner off

Local Docker start

Copy .env.example to .env, replace placeholders, keep X402_ENVIRONMENT=testnet and X402_NETWORK=eip155:84532, then:

docker compose up -d --build
docker compose ps

Container UID/GID: 10001:10001. No host bind-mounted writable directory is required. This local example is intentionally testnet. Production mainnet activation requires owner approval, a fresh PostgreSQL backup, production preflight, development bypass disabled and rollback readiness.
