Glashaus — IPFS Pinning
Pin files and static sites to IPFS from your agent using x402 USDC micropayments on Base without creating a traditional pinning account.
Overview
Glashaus MCP is a Launch-phase MCP server that pins files and websites to IPFS from your agent with x402 USDC payments on Base.
What is this MCP server?
- npm package glashaus-mcp v0.4.41 with stdio transport
- Pin local files and websites to IPFS from Claude-driven workflows
- x402 USDC payments on Base—no separate SaaS account required (per description)
- Optional GLASHAUS_WALLET_KEY or interactive import_wallet configuration
- Wallet must hold USDC on Base for payment challenges
- Package version 0.4.41
- Transport: stdio
- npm identifier: glashaus-mcp
What problem does it solve?
Indie builders stall on IPFS hosting because pinning portals and billing accounts break the flow between codegen and shipping a decentralized link.
Who is it for?
Solo builders publishing demos, static sites, or open assets to IPFS from Claude Code while using a Base-funded wallet for x402 payments.
Skip if: Teams that need enterprise pinning SLAs, fiat invoicing only, or production key custody without handling EVM private keys.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Once configured, your agent can pin assets to IPFS and settle pinning via USDC on Base through MCP tools instead of manual dashboard uploads.
- IPFS pins for files or websites initiated from the agent
- Content-addressed links suitable for launch and distribution
- x402-settled pinning workflow without a traditional pinning account

How it compares
IPFS pinning MCP with on-chain micropay, not a generic cloud storage skill or Vercel deploy integration.
