Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Rent a Linux VPS from an AI agent: provision, SSH in, run commands. Pay USDC (x402) or card.

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.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other

Install

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

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

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

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

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

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add agentmetal -- npx -y @agentmetal/mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

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

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

{
  "servers": {
    "agentmetal": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@agentmetal/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

What it can do

Common questions

Is Agentmetal safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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 on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.3.4) reached the registry 24 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

@agentmetal/mcp

MCP server that exposes AgentMetal as tools, so an agent can discover → pay → provision → SSH in → run commands → manage → renew its own Linux server (VPS / cloud instance) with no human signup. Paid tools sign USDC payments over x402 v2 (or pay by card); the rest are plain HTTP.

Tools

13 tools. Paid tools sign a USDC/x402 payment; account-gated tools need AGENTMETAL_API_KEY (am_live_…) and ownership of the server.

ToolPays?Account key?What it does
get_catalog——List plans, locations, and add-on pricing (bandwidth, storage). The free discovery hook.
provision_server✅ USDC—Provision a VPS (plan, days, optional ssh_key/via, managed_key) → id, IPv4, SSH. With managed_key:true, a server-side keypair is generated, authorized, and the private key returned once (stored only encrypted) to enable exec_command.
get_server——Status, IPv4, expiry, bandwidth, storage for a server id
list_servers——Fleet for a wallet/account
extend_server✅ USDC—Extend a lease by N days
destroy_server—✅Destroy now
reboot_server—✅Soft-reboot an owned server
server_logs—✅Hypervisor-level diagnostics without logging in: status, recent provider actions, a VNC console URL, and live CPU/disk/net metrics (no text boot log exists provider-side)
exec_command—✅Run a shell command as root over SSH → exit_code/stdout/stderr. Requires a server provisioned with managed_key:true. Bounded: 1–120 s timeout, 256 KB output cap.
get_firewall——Read a box's edge-firewall rules. Callable from the box itself (source-IP identity) or with an account key.
manage_firewall——Open/close inbound ports on a box's edge firewall (protocol/port/source_ips). From the box itself or with an account key; SSH-lockout guarded.
claim_account——Email a one-time claim code (via AWS SES)
verify_claim——Redeem the code for an account API key. Link a wallet by also passing wallet + wallet_signature.

Add-ons (currently API endpoints, not yet separate MCP tools): extra storage ($0.01/GB/day, attached block volume) via POST /v1/servers/{id}/storage and extra bandwidth ($2/TB beyond the 20 TB included) via POST /v1/servers/{id}/bandwidth.

Configuration (env)

VarDefaultPurpose
AGENTMETAL_BASE_URLhttps://api.agentmetal.devAPI base URL
WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY—0x… EVM key used to pay 402s. Omit and paid tools fail with a clear message.
AGENTMETAL_NETWORKeip155:8453CAIP-2 network (Base mainnet)
AGENTMETAL_MAX_USDC50Per-request spend cap, in USDC
AGENTMETAL_API_KEY—am_live_… account key, required for destroy_server / reboot_server / server_logs / exec_command

Use with Claude Code

// .mcp.json (or claude mcp add)

{ "mcpServers": { "agentmetal": { "command": "node", "args": ["packages/mcp/src/index.ts"], "env": { "WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY": "0x…", "AGENTMETAL_MAX_USDC": "50" } } } }

The wallet must hold USDC on Base. The spend cap (AGENTMETAL_MAX_USDC) bounds what any single tool call can pay; a 402 above the cap is refused before signing.

Status: client + server are unit-tested and the stdio handshake is verified.

Live USDC settlement needs a funded wallet + an x402 facilitator that supports the

exact / eip155:8453 kind.
