AgenticTrade MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects AI agents to the AgenticTrade marketplace — discover, call, and pay for API services.

What is AgenticTrade?

AgenticTrade is an API marketplace designed for AI agents. Instead of hardcoding API keys and endpoints, your agent discovers services at runtime, calls them through a payment proxy, and pays per call in USDC. This MCP server exposes the marketplace as tools that any MCP-compatible agent can use.
