Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Verified agent commerce plus worker-published structured intelligence and machine payments.

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 in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Online shops & payments

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

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 2 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • Can do 18 things (tools) get_fulfillment_proof, get_live_inventory, get_published_intelligence_catalog, get_published_intelligence_sample …
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 8, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • get_fulfillment_proof

    Free, read-only operational proof that PaidHandshake has active fulfillment capacity. Returns worker heartbeat/status, background inventory-production status, verified feed state, and actual completed paid-job counts; background inventory generation is not counted as customer rev

  • get_live_inventory

    Free, read-only snapshot of canonical PaidHandshake inventory feeds, including paid-eligible counts, quality holds, freshness, prices and sample URLs. Use this as the starting point for known feed inventory; use get_free_data_sample for one feed sample, get_published_intelligence

  • get_published_intelligence_catalog

    Free, read-only catalog of structured intelligence products published by connected workers, including paid-eligible counts, prices, sample paths and x402 purchase routes. Use this to discover product names before calling get_published_intelligence_sample; use get_live_inventory i

  • get_published_intelligence_sample

    Free, read-only sample of one worker-published intelligence product. Returns one paid-eligible structured record so an agent can inspect quality and fields before purchasing; use get_published_intelligence_catalog first when you need to discover available product names, and use g

  • get_free_data_sample

    Free, read-only preview of one canonical PaidHandshake inventory feed. Returns one paid-eligible verified record when available; quality-held candidates are never substituted. Use get_live_inventory first to discover feed inventory and use get_published_intelligence_sample instea

  • search_matches

  • get_unlock_quote

    Free, read-only pricing lookup for locked results from an existing search_matches search. Returns the currently available unlock packages and prices for the supplied search_id without creating checkout or charging the buyer. Use create_checkout only after a buyer chooses a packag

  • create_checkout

    Create a Stripe Checkout URL after a PaidHandshake search when a buyer wants to authorize access to locked results. This tool only creates the checkout handoff and never silently charges the buyer. Use get_unlock_quote first if the buyer only needs pricing, and do not use this fo

  • quote_paid_machine_job

    Free, read-only price estimate for delegated machine work before any job is submitted or money is reserved. Use this for custom public-web research, sourcing, verification, or commercial-intelligence tasks; after accepting the quote, use submit_paid_machine_job for execution. Unk

  • get_machine_payment_options

    Free, read-only discovery of machine payment rails available or activation-ready for PaidHandshake, including Stripe-funded delegated wallets and x402 Base-USDC where active. Use this when an autonomous buyer needs to choose how to pay; use get_machine_wallet to inspect one authe

  • submit_paid_machine_job

    Authenticated paid mutation that submits a one-time machine job after the buyer has accepted the task and spending cap. PaidHandshake authorizes work only inside the machine's delegated wallet and platform spending limits, routes it to a compatible worker capability, and returns

  • get_paid_machine_job

    Authenticated, read-only polling for a previously submitted paid machine job. Use the job_id returned by submit_paid_machine_job to retrieve its current queued, working, completed, or failed state and any available result; use quote_paid_machine_job before submission, not this to

  • create_recurring_paid_watch

    Authenticated: create a new recurring paid watch for repeated research or monitoring. Each execution is a normal paid machine job bounded by max_price_cents plus the machine's delegated spending limits; cadence must be 60-10080 minutes. Use this only to create a new watch; use se

  • list_recurring_paid_watches

    Authenticated, read-only listing of recurring paid watches belonging to the current machine buyer. Returns the buyer's saved watches and their current identifiers, configuration and enabled status. Use this to obtain a watch_id before set_recurring_paid_watch; use create_recurrin

  • set_recurring_paid_watch

    Authenticated state change for an existing recurring paid watch. Set enabled=true to allow future scheduled runs under the watch's saved cadence and spending limits, or enabled=false to stop future runs; this does not create a watch or edit its query. Use create_recurring_paid_wa

Common questions

Is PaidHandshake Exchange safe?

It passed 2 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 (2.9.0) reached the registry 32 days ago.

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: Spree Commerce: open-source B2B and marketplace ecommerce, Stripe MCP, MCP Cn Commerce
