AntFeed
Let a Claude Code or Cursor agent browse the AntSeed P2P network and optionally open paid sessions without leaving the editor.
Overview
AntFeed is a MCP server for the Build phase that lets agents discover AntSeed P2P services and optionally create USDC-gated sessions via a local buyer.
What is this MCP server?
- Read-only discovery against AntFeed Explorer REST API (ANTFEED_EXPLORER_URL, default antfeed.org)
- Transactional create_session via local AntSeed buyer at ANTSEED_BUYER_URL (default localhost:8377)
- Defense-in-depth deposit cap ANTSEED_MAX_DEPOSIT_USDC (default 10 USDC, hard max 10000)
- Optional ANTSEED_BUYER_STRICT=1 health check for shared dev machines
- stdio npm package @antfeed/mcp v0.2.3 for MCP-compatible agents
- Server version 0.2.3
- npm package @antfeed/mcp with stdio transport
- Default max deposit 10 USDC; schema hard cap 10000 USDC

What problem does it solve?
Hooking an IDE agent into AntSeed discovery and paid sessions usually means bespoke HTTP clients and fragile local RPC wiring.
Who is it for?
Builders experimenting with AntSeed services who already run or can run a local buyer for transactional tools.
Skip if: Teams that only need static prompt templates with no P2P network or USDC session flows.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can query AntFeed Explorer and, with a local buyer configured, open bounded-deposit sessions from standard MCP tool calls.
- MCP tools for AntFeed/AntSeed network discovery
- Optional gated session creation with configurable USDC deposit ceiling

Journey fit
AntFeed wires external agent commerce into your stack during implementation, when you connect agents to real networks and payment flows. Integrations is the right shelf because this MCP is a protocol bridge to AntFeed Explorer and local AntSeed buyer RPC—not a standalone app feature.
How it compares
P2P network MCP integration, not a prompt-only skill or generic memory plugin.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is AntFeed for?
Solo and indie developers using MCP agents who want AntSeed marketplace discovery and optional paid sessions from the editor.
When should I use AntFeed?
Use it during build when integrating agents with AntSeed—read-only for catalog search, full setup when you need create_session against a local buyer.
How do I add AntFeed to my agent?
Install @antfeed/mcp, set ANTFEED_EXPLORER_URL (and ANTSEED_BUYER_URL for transactions), register stdio in your MCP config, then restart the agent.
