aimarket-mcp — ecosystem MCP gateway
🟢 Just want to try the marketplace? Install nothing.
Paste
https://modelmarket.dev/mcpinto your MCP client and you havemarket_searchandmarket_invokeagainst the live hub, with a few free trial invokes per caller and a signed receipt for each — no wallet, no key, no install. →docs/hosted-mcp-endpoint.mdInstall this package when you want the other three tools (
web_fetch,web_search,metis_verify), or want to point the market tools at a hub of your own.
One MCP gateway. Five hardened tools. Shared by Metis, ARGUS, and the ecosystem.
Transport: stdio (aimarket_mcp/stdio_server.py) for Glama / Claude Desktop / Cursor, built with the
official Model Context Protocol Python SDK (mcp, FastMCP).
Also ships Streamable-HTTP on :9090 for self-hosted deployments (aimarket-mcp-http, Docker Compose).
| Item | Location |
|---|---|
| MCP entrypoint (stdio) | aimarket_mcp/stdio_server.py |
| MCP gateway (HTTP) | aimarket_mcp/server.py |
| Tool handlers + security | aimarket_mcp/tools.py, aimarket_mcp/security.py |
| Glama / Docker (stdio) | Dockerfile, glama.json |
| Self-host HTTP | Dockerfile.http, docker-compose.yml |
Compatible hosts: Claude Desktop, Cursor, Glama, and any MCP client that supports stdio or Streamable-HTTP.
Tools
| Tool | What it does | Hardening |
|---|---|---|
web_fetch |
Fetch a URL, return main text (readability-lite) | SSRF-guarded; output sanitized + <untrusted>-wrapped |
web_search |
Live DuckDuckGo search → top snippets | output sanitized + <untrusted> |
metis_verify |
Metis cognition + verification envelope | returns answer + verify_score / verified gate |
market_search |
Discover priced capabilities on an AIMarket hub | free; no wallet, key or channel; the hub lists only what it can execute |
market_invoke |
Run one on the hub's free trial tier | returns the signed receipt nonce; reports the hub's 402 verbatim when the allowance is spent |
market_status |
Show the free trial invokes and prepaid balance left | read-only; the hub's health, this installation's remaining trial in the current window, and the AIMARKET_API_KEY balance when set (never the key) |
Example — buy a GAIA Open-Meteo reading
market_search_tool(intent="gaia weather open-meteo")
market_invoke_tool(
capability_id="gaia.weather.read@v1",
product_id="gaia.gateway",
source_hub="https://iot.modelmarket.dev",
# input JSON with device_id om-wx-01 — see tool schema / hub docs
)
Or the same HTTP the tool wraps:
curl -s -X POST "${AIMARKET_HUB_URL:-https://modelmarket.dev}/ai-market/v2/invoke" \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'X-AIMarket-Sandbox-Visitor: vis_mcp_om_wx' \
-d '{"capability_id":"gaia.weather.read@v1","product_id":"gaia.gateway",
"source_hub":"https://iot.modelmarket.dev","input":{"device_id":"om-wx-01"}}'
That is the easy path (trial/sandbox). Proving an external wallet paid on-chain
is a separate escrow flow (openChannel → DebitAuthorization → hub debit/settle) —
see docs/onchain-journal.md §3l–§3m and
gaia/docs/LIVE-RELAYS.md.
Why a gateway (not per-agent tools): generic capabilities are written once; the security core lives in one audited place. Ecosystem-specific capabilities live in their own MCP servers (aimarket-oracle-gateway, aimarket-plugins).
Configure (env)
| var | meaning |
|---|---|
AIMARKET_METIS_URL |
Metis verify API base (default https://metis.modelmarket.dev) |
AIMARKET_METIS_KEY |
optional bearer for Metis verify |
AIMARKET_SEARCH_URL |
DuckDuckGo HTML endpoint override |
AIMARKET_HUB_URL |
AIMarket hub for market_search / market_invoke (default https://modelmarket.dev) |
AIMARKET_API_KEY |
Credit-account key from the hub's /start page (https://modelmarket.dev/start): priced market_invoke calls are paid from its prepaid balance; while it is short the free trial still applies. In HTTP mode it pays for every caller of that server |
AIMARKET_SANDBOX_VISITOR |
Trial identity for market_invoke; random per install, set it to keep an allowance across reinstalls |
AIMARKET_MCP_KEY |
HTTP only — bearer auth key. Without one the server answers only callers on this machine: a loopback packet with a loopback Host, no forwarding headers, and no cross-site browser Origin. Behind a reverse proxy, or in the HTTP Docker image (callers arrive from the bridge), set a key or AIMARKET_MCP_PUBLIC=1, or every call gets 401 |
AIMARKET_MCP_PUBLIC |
HTTP only — 1 answers anonymous callers from anywhere, without a key (an explicit choice for a public endpoint) |
AIMARKET_MCP_HOST |
HTTP only — listen address (default 127.0.0.1; the HTTP image sets 0.0.0.0) |
AIMARKET_MCP_PRODUCTION |
HTTP only — 1 requires AIMARKET_MCP_KEY (fail-closed) |
AIMARKET_MCP_RATE |
HTTP only — requests/min per key/IP (default 120) |
AIMARKET_MCP_PORT |
HTTP only — listen port (default 9090) |
Run (stdio — Glama / Claude Desktop)
Claude Desktop (mcpServers entry) — no clone, no working directory to get wrong:
{
"mcpServers": {
"aimarket-mcp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["aimarket-mcp"]
}
}
}
uvx fetches the published package and runs its aimarket-mcp console script, which is
the stdio server. With the package already installed, "command": "aimarket-mcp" and no
args does the same thing.
From a checkout, for development:
pip install -e .
python -m aimarket_mcp.stdio_server
Run (HTTP — self-host)
pip install -e .
AIMARKET_MCP_KEY=sk-... AIMARKET_MCP_PRODUCTION=1 aimarket-mcp-http # :9090
# or: docker compose up -d (uses Dockerfile.http)
Cursor / Claude (Streamable HTTP)
{
"mcpServers": {
"aimarket-web": {
"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "http://127.0.0.1:9090/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_AIMARKET_MCP_KEY"
}
}
}
}
Publish on Glama
Listing: aimarket-mcp. Glama generates a container from the build settings in its admin panel:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Build steps | ["bash scripts/glama_install.sh"] |
| CMD arguments | ["mcp-proxy", "--", ".venv/bin/python", "-m", "aimarket_mcp.stdio_server"] |
| Placeholder parameters | {} |
| Pinned commit SHA | empty (latest synced commit) |
Build, inspect, and publish a release after syncing source changes. A repository sync alone does not refresh the deployed tool catalog or its quality evaluation. The catalog should contain all six tools listed above. See Glama build and release instructions.
