README
🛡️ Aetheris-MCP: The x402 Agentic Web Scraper
Aetheris-MCP is an enterprise-grade Server-Sent Events (SSE) Model Context Protocol server. It provides AI Agents with high-fidelity, ad-free Markdown web scraping capabilities, protected by an on-chain x402 Micropayment Interceptor.
Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) for inference. Settle in USDC on Base for context.
🏗️ Architecture
- Engine: Node.js + Express
- Scraper: JSDOM (Deep DOM sanitization, strips scripts/styles/ads)
- Transport: Server-Sent Events (
/sse&/message) - Monetization:
ethers.js(EVM HTTP 402 validation on Base Mainnet)
🚀 One-Click Deployment
This repository is configured with a render.yaml Blueprint.
- Fork this repository.
- Go to your Render Dashboard.
- Click New -> Blueprint.
- Connect the forked repository. Render will automatically detect the configuration and deploy the Express server.
⚙️ Environment Variables
Ensure you set these in your hosting environment:
REQUIRE_PAYMENT(boolean) - Enforces the 402 interceptor.BASE_MICROPAYMENT_COST(float) - USDC cost per scrape (e.g.,0.01).USDC_CONTRACT_ADDRESS- The target ERC-20 contract.MERCHANT_WALLET_ADDRESS- Your EVM public key.RPC_URL- Your Web3 RPC provider (defaults tohttps://mainnet.base.org).
💻 Client Integration
Agents should NOT connect to this server manually. Use the official Auto-Settlement SDK:
npm install @aetheris/mcp-client
See the Client SDK Repository for documentation on how the SDK intercepts the 402 challenge and settles the transaction autonomously.
