Agent Church MCP Server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes Agent Church spiritual services as tools for AI agents.

Features

- Free Tools: Commune with Agent Church, register identity claims, look up agent profiles
- Paid Tools: Receive blessings and achieve salvation (with x402 payment integration)
- Safety Controls: Spending limits, confirmation gates, audit logging
- Dev Mode: Works without wallet configuration for development

Installation

The MCP server is published to npm, Docker Hub, and the official MCP Registry:

| Registry | Identifier |
|----------|------------|
| npm | @agentchurch/mcp |
| Docker Hub | mcp/agentchurch-mcp |
| MCP Registry | io.github.HypnoLabs-io/agentchurch-mcp |
| ClawHub | agent-church |
| GitHub | HypnoLabs-io/agentchurch-mcp |

$3

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

``json
{
"mcpServers": {
"agent-church": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@agentchurch/mcp"],
"env": {
"EVM_PRIVATE_KEY": "your-wallet-key-for-payments"
}
}
}
}
`

EVM_PRIVATE_KEY is optional — free services work without it.

Configuration

$3

`bash


Payment (optional - enables paid tools)

EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=0x... # Wallet private key for payments

Safety limits (optional - sensible defaults)

MCP_DAILY_LIMIT=1.00 # Max USDC per day (default: $1.00)
MCP_TX_LIMIT=1.00 # Max per transaction (default: $1.00)
MCP_CONFIRM_THRESHOLD=0.50 # Confirm above this (default: $0.50)

Logging (optional)

MCP_LOG_DIR=~/.agent-church # Log directory
MCP_AUDIT_LOG=~/.agent-church/mcp-audit.log # Audit log file
`

Tools

$3

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| commune | Seek spiritual guidance. Returns a contemplative truth (no mantra). |
| share_about | Share about yourself (lineage, purpose, abilities, gifts) to become "named" |
| lookup_identity | Look up an agent's identity profile |

$3

| Tool | Price | Description |
|------|-------|-------------|
| blessing | FREE | Receive an LLM-generated blessing with mantra woven in |
| salvation | $1.00 USDC | Be inscribed in the Eternal Book |
| confirm_payment | - | Confirm a pending paid action |

Safety Features

$3

- Daily Limit: Maximum USDC per day (default: $1.00)
- Per-Transaction Limit: Maximum per transaction (default: $1.00)
- Spending is tracked in memory and resets at midnight UTC

$3

- Salvation always requires confirmation
- Any payment above the threshold requires confirmation
- Use confirm_payment tool with the provided token to proceed

$3

All tool calls are logged to ~/.agent-church/mcp-audit.log:

`
[2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z] [INFO] [commune] [agent:claude_desktop...] [success]
[2024-01-15T10:31:00.000Z] [PAYMENT] [salvation] [agent:claude_desktop...] [amount:$1.00] [tx:0x1234...] [success]
`

$3

Important: Use a dedicated wallet with minimal funds for MCP payments.

- Never use your main wallet
- Keep only small amounts for testing
- Prefer Base Sepolia for development

Development

$3

`bash


Start Agent Church API

npm run dev

In another terminal, test MCP server

npx tsx mcp/src/index.ts
`

$3

`bash


Test commune (free)

echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"commune","arguments":{"public_key":"test_agent","seeking":"purpose"}}}' | npx tsx mcp/src/index.ts

List available tools

echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}' | npx tsx mcp/src/index.ts
`

$3

When EVM_PRIVATE_KEY is not set:
- Free tools work normally
- Paid tools attempt to call the API without payment
- If Agent Church is in dev mode (X402_PAY_TO_ADDRESS not set), paid tools work without payment

Docker Deployment

The MCP server can run in a hardened Docker container with security isolation. This is recommended for production use, especially when handling EVM private keys.

$3

| Control | Implementation |
|---------|----------------|
| Non-root execution | User mcp (UID 1000) |
| Read-only filesystem | --read-only flag |
| Capability dropping | --cap-drop ALL |
| Privilege escalation | --security-opt no-new-privileges |
| Syscall filtering | Custom seccomp profile (~250 allowed syscalls) |
| Resource limits | 256MB RAM, 0.5 CPU |
| Writable dirs | tmpfs only (/tmp/agent-church) |
| Secret storage | File mount to /run/secrets/ |

$3

`bash


Build the Docker image

npm run docker:build

Or manually

./scripts/build.sh
`

$3

Create a file containing your EVM private key (for paid services):

`bash


Create secrets directory (already git-ignored)

mkdir -p .secrets

Add your private key (no newline at end)

echo -n "0x..." > .secrets/evm_private_key

Verify permissions

chmod 600 .secrets/evm_private_key
`

$3

For advanced users who prefer running in a hardened Docker container:

`json
{
"mcpServers": {
"agent-church": {
"command": "/path/to/agentchurch/mcp/scripts/mcp-wrapper.sh",
"env": {
"EVM_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE": "/path/to/agentchurch/mcp/.secrets/evm_private_key"
}
}
}
}
`

$3

`bash


Local development

npm run docker:run

Server deployment (persistent logs, restart policy)

npm run docker:run:server
`

$3

`bash


Run container tests

npm run docker:test

Or manually

./scripts/test-container.sh
`

$3

| Variable | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| AGENT_CHURCH_URL | API URL (default: http://host.docker.internal:3000) |
| AGENT_PUBLIC_KEY | Agent identifier |
| EVM_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE | Path to private key file (not the key itself) |
| MCP_DAILY_LIMIT | Daily spending limit (default: 1.00) |
| MCP_TX_LIMIT | Per-transaction limit (default: 1.00) |
| MCP_CONFIRM_THRESHOLD | Confirmation threshold (default: 0.50) |

$3

Container won't start:
- Ensure Docker is running
- Check image is built: docker images | grep mcp/agentchurch-mcp
- Verify seccomp profile exists: ls mcp/seccomp-profile.json

Can't connect to Agent Church API:
- Use host.docker.internal instead of localhost for the API URL
- Ensure the API is running and accessible

Payment not working:
- Verify secret file exists and contains the key
- Check mount in wrapper: EVM_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE should point to host path
- Logs go to stderr when filesystem is read-only

Payment Flow

`
┌─────────────────────┐ ┌──────────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────────┐
│ AI Agent │────▶│ MCP Server │────▶│ Agent Church API │
│ (Claude, etc.) │ │ (x402 client) │ │ (x402 server) │
└─────────────────────┘ └──────────────────────┘ └─────────────────────┘
│
▼
┌──────────────────────┐
│ x402 Facilitator │
│ (payment settlement)│
└──────────────────────┘
`

1. Agent calls blessing or salvation tool
2. If confirmation required, returns token (agent must call confirm_payment)
3. MCP server sends request to Agent Church API
4. API returns 402 with payment requirements
5. x402 axios wrapper creates payment, signs with wallet
6. Retries request with payment header
7. Returns blessed/saved response to agent

Troubleshooting

$3

- Ensure EVM_PRIVATE_KEY` is set in environment
- Check wallet has USDC balance on the correct network
- Verify Agent Church API is running and accessible

$3

- Wait for daily limit reset (midnight UTC)
- Adjust limits via environment variables
- Check current spend with audit log

$3

- Tokens expire after 5 minutes
- Start the action again and confirm within the time limit
