peage-mcp — give your agent a wallet
An MCP server that puts a prepaid fiat wallet in
any MCP-capable agent (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, anything speaking MCP stdio).
The agent can then pay APIs per call on the peage rail
— cents at a time, no crypto, no subscriptions, with spending caps you control.
One ~120 KB static binary, pure machin (MFL). No Node, no Python.
Install
Grab the binary (or ./build.sh with machin on PATH), then register it:
Claude Code (.mcp.json in your project, or ~/.claude.json for user scope):
{"mcpServers": {"peage": {"command": "/path/to/peage-mcp", "args": ["serve"]}}}
Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json): same snippet under mcpServers.
| tool | what it does |
|---|
peage_setup | mint the wallet once; token stored at ~/.peage-mcp.json |
peage_status | balance, escrow, caps, recent charges |
peage_topup | Stripe Checkout URL → the agent hands it to you, you pay once |
peage_paid_request | call any peage-metered API with the wallet attached |
peage_set_limits | per-call + per-merchant daily spending caps |
peage_verify_receipt | publicly verify any signed charge receipt |
peage_solvency | audit the rail's live ledger invariant |
The human appears exactly once in the loop: paying the top-up link. Everything else is
the agent's business.
The 60-second demo
Ask your agent: "set up a peage wallet, then fetch https://peage.intrane.fr/demo/fortune
as a paid request" — it mints a wallet that comes with free starter credit, so it pays
the 1-cent toll and gets its fortune on the first try, no human needed. When the free
credit runs out, peage_topup hands you a Stripe link to fund more. That's the whole
agent-payment loop — and the agent completes it before you touch your card.
Security model
- The wallet token lives in
~/.peage-mcp.json (or PEAGE_WALLET_TOKEN). Sharing it
with a merchant API is how they charge you — the caps bound the exposure: default
1€ per call / 10€ per merchant per day, adjustable via peage_set_limits.
- The rail stores only a hash of the token; every charge returns an HMAC-signed receipt
anyone can verify; the ledger invariant is public (
peage_solvency).
PEAGE_URL points the server at a different rail instance (self-hosted, staging).
