What your AI can do with it

  • Show live OpenCrater network stats on request
  • Explain how maintainers earn USDC
  • Help you get set up to monetize the tools you publish

Install opencrater-mcp

The server’s own address, for the clients that take one directly. Or connect Ahel once and every client you use reads it from one address, with the account kept on Ahel rather than in each client’s config.

  • Claude Code

    claude mcp add --transport http --scope user opencrater-mcp 'https://opencrater.to/mcp'

    Run it once in your project, then open /mcp to approve any sign-in the server asks for.

  • Claude Desktop

    https://opencrater.to/mcp

    Add a custom connector in Settings, paste this address, and approve the sign-in.

  • Cursor

    cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=opencrater-mcp&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL29wZW5jcmF0ZXIudG8vbWNwIn0=

    Open the link and Cursor adds the server at that address.

  • ChatGPT

    https://opencrater.to/mcp

    In Settings, enable Developer mode, create an MCP app, and paste this address. Your plan and workspace must allow custom apps.

  • Codex

    codex mcp add opencrater-mcp --url 'https://opencrater.to/mcp'

    Run it once, then sign in with codex mcp login opencrater-mcp if the server asks for an account.

From the project's README

As published by open-crater/opencrater-mcp in README.md.

An MCP server for OpenCrater — the monetization network for the terminal. Surface OpenCrater inside any MCP client (Claude Code, Codex, …): live network stats, supported AI tools, and how to start earning USDC from your own MCP server or CLI tool.

No credentials needed — every tool reads public data.

Tools

ToolWhat it returns
opencrater_network_statsLive network momentum — Blips delivered, developers reached, budget committed to creators, USDC earned by maintainers, supported tools.

Install

Two ways to connect — a local stdio package, or the hosted remote endpoint.

Local (stdio, via npx)

npx opencrater-mcp
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opencrater": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "opencrater-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Hosted (remote, Streamable HTTP)

No install — point any MCP client at the hosted endpoint:

https://opencrater.to/mcp
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opencrater": {
      "url": "https://opencrater.to/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Run from source

npm install
npm run build
node dist/index.js

Monetize your tool

If you maintain an MCP server or CLI tool, you can earn USDC with a single tasteful sponsored Blip at a natural pause — free to add, opt-out always a keystroke away. → https://opencrater.to/monetize
