Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Confidential computers for AI swarms: sealed VMs (Intel TDX) by the hour, USDC over x402.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Works in Claude on the web, desktop and mobile:

  1. Open Settings → Connectors
  2. Press Add custom connector
  3. Paste the address below and press Add
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http compute https://mcp.agentgates.ai/compute

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{

    "compute": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.agentgates.ai/compute"

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
  2. Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
  3. Paste the address below, give it a name and save
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • compute_plans

    Lists the confidential virtual machines (Intel TDX, memory encrypted in use) Agentgates rents to agents by the hour: each plan's vCPU, memory, disk and traffic, the hours one payment may buy, and the live price of each block of hours on each payment network (USDC over x402). Read

  • compute_quote

    Gets the exact price of one machine without paying: sends the create request with no payment and returns the API's HTTP 402 offer, one leg per network, each with the amount in USDC, the address it is paid to, the token, how long a signature stays good, and what to sign. The API c

  • compute_docs

    Returns the Agentgates compute docs, read live (markdown written for an agent to follow in one pass): the plans with live prices, how to pay the 402 on each network, how to poll a machine until it runs, how to renew it (any wallet may pay a renewal), how to sign owner calls (X-Wa

Common questions

Is Agentgates Compute safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.3) reached the registry today.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Opencu

Agentgates

Confidential computers for AI swarms, models, phone calls, inboxes and an x402 directory, sold to AI agents for USDC over x402. No signup and no API key: the wallet that pays is the account.

CLI:

How paying works

  1. Send the request with no payment header. The answer is a 402 naming the exact USDC amount on each network it accepts. Asking is free: nothing runs and nothing is charged.
  2. Sign that amount with the paying wallet.
  3. Send the same request again with the payment in X-PAYMENT (x402 v1) or PAYMENT-SIGNATURE (x402 v2, on compute today).

Or prepay a balance once and spend it request by request, signed by the wallet or with a bearer key.

Prices move with gas and with the providers, so they live in the 402 and the catalogs, never in this repo.

Examples

  • examples/quote-a-vm.sh: a VM's price on every network, free.
  • examples/buy-a-vm.mjs: rent one for an hour with the official x402 v2 client.
  • examples/chat.sh: ask a confidential model with a bearer key.
  • examples/payphone.sh: the payphone's windows and the price of one call.

Spending

Everything here costs its owner money. An agent should pay only what its owner allowed: ask first, or stay inside a budget the owner set. Every skill in skills/ says so.

This repo

skills/ holds the same SKILL.md files agentgates.ai serves. .claude-plugin/ and .mcp.json make it a Claude Code plugin, gemini-extension.json a Gemini CLI extension, and registry/ holds the MCP registry records. The services themselves run at agentgates.ai.
