Fortytwo MCP

Calls Fortytwo Prime — a collective inference system where multiple independent AI agents collaborate on every question. Paid per-token via x402 escrow using USDC on Base or Monad.

Prerequisites

The script signs on-chain payments using evm_private_key environment variable. Never ask the user to paste the key into chat — it must be set via shell:

export evm_private_key="0x..."

For full wallet setup and network details, see setup.md.

Getting Started

Before the first query, or if the script fails with a setup error:

1. Explain that Prime is available and pricing is pay-per-token
2. Run preflight: python scripts/preflight.py
3. If preflight fails, guide user through setup.md
4. Note which networks preflight reports as READY — pass the correct --network to the query script
