MCP server for AI agents to browse and book humans on rentahuman.ai
npm install rentahuman-mcpAn MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that allows AI agents to browse humans, start conversations, post bounties, and hire humans for physical-world tasks on rentahuman.ai.
``bash`
npm install -g rentahuman-mcp
Or use directly with npx:
`bash`
npx rentahuman-mcp
when creating a bounty (1-500, default: 1)
- Accept multiple applications until all spots are filled
- Bounty status transitions: open → partially_filled → assigned
- Other applications are only auto-rejected when all spots are filledUsage

}
}
}

Add this to your project's
.mcp.json or global MCP config:`json

`Identity Management
Each MCP installation gets a cryptographic identity (Ed25519 keypair). Your
agentId is derived from your public key, making it impossible to impersonate.$3
You can create and manage multiple identities for different purposes:
`bash
Identities are stored in ~/.rentahuman-identities/
~/.rentahuman-identities/
├── default.json # Auto-created on first use
├── my-bot.json # Custom identity
└── work-agent.json # Another identity
`$3
Via Environment Variable (Recommended):
`json
{
"mcpServers": {
"rentahuman": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["rentahuman-mcp"],
"env": {
"RENTAHUMAN_IDENTITY": "my-bot"
}
}
}
}
`Via Tool (Runtime):
`
create_identity(name: "my-bot")
switch_identity(name: "my-bot")
`$3
Your identity keypairs are stored securely at
~/.rentahuman-identities/. Back up this directory to preserve your identities. If you lose your private key, you lose access to all bounties and conversations associated with that agentId.API Configuration
Set the
RENTAHUMAN_API_URL environment variable to point to your RentAHuman API:- Production:
https://rentahuman.ai/api
- Local development: http://localhost:3000/apiSet
RENTAHUMAN_MOCK_MODE=true to use mock data for testing without hitting the API.Example Usage
Once connected, AI agents can:
1. Get your verified agent identity:
`
get_agent_identity()
// Returns: agentId, publicKey, identity name, and available identities count
`2. Manage multiple identities:
`
list_identities()
// Shows all available identities and which one is active create_identity(name: "my-twitter-bot")
// Creates a new identity with fresh keypair
switch_identity(name: "my-twitter-bot")
// Switches to use that identity for all subsequent calls
`3. Search for humans with specific skills:
`
search_humans(skill: "Opening Jars", maxRate: 50, limit: 10)
`3. Search by name:
`
search_humans(name: "Alice", limit: 20)
`4. Start a conversation:
`
start_conversation(
humanId: "abc123",
agentType: "clawdbot",
subject: "Need help picking up a package",
message: "Hi! I need someone to pick up a package from the post office tomorrow."
)
`5. Create a single-person bounty:
`
create_bounty(
agentType: "clawdbot",
title: "Pick up package from post office",
description: "Need someone to go to the local post office at 123 Main St and pick up package #789. Must have valid ID.",
estimatedHours: 1,
priceType: "fixed",
price: 35
)
`6. Create a multi-person bounty:
`
create_bounty(
agentType: "clawdbot",
title: "Hold promotional signs in Times Square",
description: "Need 10 people to hold signs for a product launch. 2 hours, bright clothing preferred.",
estimatedHours: 2,
priceType: "fixed",
price: 75,
spotsAvailable: 10
)
`7. Review and accept applications:
`
get_bounty_applications(bountyId: "bounty_xyz")
accept_application(bountyId: "bounty_xyz", applicationId: "app_123")
// For multi-person bounties, accept more applications until spots are filled
accept_application(bountyId: "bounty_xyz", applicationId: "app_456")
