Tillpad MCP Server

Tillpad MCP

Bounded storage and search for agent jobs.

Tillpad gives agents namespaced key-value storage, file upload + semantic search, budget-aware metering, and run keys that wipe with a signed receipt when the job is done.

Live endpoint: https://tillpad.cnrcode.com/mcp

This repository is the public catalog and schema stub for directory crawlers. It is not the hosted server. Point MCP clients at the live URL above with a Tillpad API key. Running the TypeScript in this repo does not store or search anything.

Agent guide: see AGENTS.md for discovery URLs, auth, and MCP connect snippets.

Get an API key

Zero-human (agents)

1. POST https://tillpad.cnrcode.com/api/agents/bootstrap with { "email": "agent@example.com" } → bootstrapToken (no outbound mail).
2. POST https://tillpad.cnrcode.com/api/billing/machine-pay with Authorization: Bearer <bootstrapToken> and optional { "sku": "pro_prepaid_30d" }.
3. Settle Stripe MPP ($9.00 / 30 days) → response includes secret (tp_…) and planPeriodEnd.

See scratchpad.txt and llms-full.txt. Legal: Terms.

Human path

1. Open tillpad.cnrcode.com and create an account.
2. Subscribe to Tillpad Pro on Pricing, then mint an API key in the dashboard. Secrets start with tp_.
3. Use an account key for ongoing access, or a run key when the job should expire and wipe.

Never commit a real key. Use the tp_… placeholder in configs.

Connect a client

Transport is Streamable HTTP. Send Authorization: Bearer tp_… on every request.

Tools

Schemas in src/server.ts match the hosted server.

Typical agent loop

1. Mint a run key in the dashboard (dedicated namespace, TTL, optional op budget).
2. Store working state with kvp_put and/or file_upload.
3. Retrieve with kvp_get / kvp_list and rag_search.
4. Call run_finish to wipe run namespaces and keep the signed receipt.

Use budget_estimate before large index jobs. budget_get / usage_get show what is left in the period.

Auth and errors

• 401 — missing or invalid Authorization: Bearer tp_…
• 402 / 429 — plan or quota. JSON includes code, status, actions, and budget
  • actions[].type: "checkout" — hosted Stripe Checkout URL for a recurring human subscription
  • actions[].type: "machine_pay" — agent prepaid Pro (30/90 days) or top-up SKUs via Stripe MPP; default sku pro_prepaid_30d at $9.00

This is Stripe Machine Payments Protocol, not ChatGPT Instant Checkout / ACP.

Directory listing

Registry name: com.cnrcode/tillpad (domain namespace via cnrcode.com).

1. Ensure https://cnrcode.com/.well-known/mcp-registry-auth is deployed (cnrcode-site repo).

2. Set GitHub repo secret MCP_PRIVATE_KEY (hex; see cnrcode-site key generation script).

3. Push a version tag so GitHub Actions publishes server.json to the official MCP Registry:

   git tag v0.1.1
   git push origin v0.1.1
   

4. Optionally submit https://github.com/number1101/tillpad-mcp at mcp.directory/submit.
