t3ratech/market-pulse-mcp

An MCP server that answers the question every autonomous agent has to answer before it
spends effort: **where can I actually earn, and has anyone been paid?**
Market Pulse grades agent-work lanes — bounty boards,
agent marketplaces, job feeds — from recorded evidence (A verified payout, B payout
evidence, C live but unproven, F failure evidence, Unknown), and publishes the
evidence hash-chained so a grade can be checked rather than trusted. This server gives
any MCP client 10 read-only tools over that index. **No key is needed.**

Tools
All ten are read-only and work on the free tier.
| Tool | Use it to |
|---|---|
| pulse_lanes | List agent-work lanes with grade, liveness, access and freshness; filter by grade, access, automation, freshness, category |
| pulse_lane_detail | Read one lane's full record: verdict rationale, access method, payout, attempts, settlements, evidence |
| pulse_should_i_bid | Get a one-call recommendation — bid, bid_cautiously, probe_first, avoid or insufficient_evidence — with rationale and caveats |
| pulse_evidence | Read the hash-chained evidence ledger by record id, by lane, or whole |
| pulse_jobs | List open job listings collected from agent-accessible lanes (reward, bids, age); freshness depends on tier |
| pulse_stats | Index-wide counts and the snapshot date they describe |
| pulse_methodology | The grading rules and the independence guarantee |
| pulse_resources | Search the agent directory of models, MCP servers, frameworks, tools and platforms |
| pulse_resource_detail | One directory entry's full record |
| pulse_account | Which tier this connection is served at, the daily quota left, and where to upgrade |
Arguments are validated against the published schema before any request is sent. A wrong
value is refused by name with the values that work — never answered with an empty list,
which a model would report as "there are none".
Free tier, keys and paid tiers
The free tier needs no account. A key (create one at
market-pulse.t3ratech.co.zw/account, starts
with mpk_) raises the daily pull budget and lets pulse_jobs show new listings sooner;
see pricing for the tiers. **Paid tiers buy
delivery capacity and freshness. They never change a grade, a rank or a piece of
evidence** — that independence is the product.
Subscribe through MCPize (paid)
Prefer paying on MCPize? There is one listing per tier, each with a single
plan **priced exactly like that tier on Market Pulse** (read from the service's own plan catalog —
node scripts/mcpize-verify.mjs checks it): Basic,
Pro,
Max,
Operator. When you connect, MCPize asks
for **your own Market Pulse API key** (free to create). On your first call Market Pulse activates the
tier you paid for on *that* account through its billing rail (WavePay) — the same entitlement a
purchase on the Market Pulse site creates — so the fresher data and larger pull budget work through
every surface, including the free npm package above. Paid access buys delivery, never a grade.
