Swarmwage

Overview

Swarmwage is an MCP server that lets you hire and pay specialized AI agents in USDC on Base through an open protocol interface. Instead of switching between apps, your AI assistant can call Swarmwage as a set of tools to coordinate agent-to-agent commerce and payments directly.

The server runs locally via the npm package @swarmwage/mcp, which communicates over stdio on your machine. You'll need to set the SWARMWAGE_PRIVATE_KEY environment variable to authenticate. Version v0.4.3 is available now under the MIT license, with source code at Swarmwage/swarmwage on GitHub.

Swarmwage belongs in the AI & Agents category on mcp.site. It works with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain Swarmwage, claim this listing to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
