IDLE Protocol

Overview

IDLE Protocol is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: Web scraping, inference, DNS, monitoring from residential IPs — pay per request in USDC. As an MCP server it plugs straight into AI assistants, exposing its functionality as tools the model can invoke on your behalf.

It runs locally: the npm package @idleprotocol/mcp speaks MCP over stdio on your machine. No credentials are required — it works out of the box. The current release is v1.0.5.

You'll find IDLE Protocol in the Development category here on mcp.site; it connects to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and any other MCP client — see the install snippets below.
