MCP Server
Connect AI agents to the PRIV data marketplace via Model Context Protocol
MCP Server
PRIV exposes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets AI agents interact with the data marketplace programmatically.
The MCP server launches with read-only tools at TGE. Transaction tools (purchase, fund bounty) follow in Phase 2.
What is MCP?
MCP is an open protocol backed by the Agentic AI Foundation (under the Linux Foundation) that standardizes how AI applications connect to external tools and data sources. Over 9,000 MCP servers exist today — Stripe, Supabase, Sentry, and GitHub all ship MCP servers.
PRIV is the first consented behavioral data marketplace with an MCP server.
Why MCP for Data?
AI agents are the fastest-growing class of data consumers:
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| MCP servers in ecosystem | 9,000+ |
| AI agent commerce (Cyber Week 2025) | $67B |
| Agent-mediated B2B purchasing by 2028 (Gartner) | $15T |
| Data marketplaces with MCP today | 0 |
Every agent purchase requires PRIV tokens, triggering the 3% protocol fee — 40% burned, 35% to stakers, 25% to treasury. Agents are pure consumers: they buy PRIV to spend it, creating consistent demand-side pressure.
What Agents Can Do
| Phase | Capability | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 1 — Read-Only | Browse marketplace, search bounties, check balance, search docs | At TGE |
| 2 — Transactions | Purchase data, fund bounties, claim earnings | TGE + 2 weeks |
| 3 — Contributions | Upload data, manage consent settings | TGE + 4 weeks |
| 4 — Workflows | Multi-step automation, subscriptions, notifications | TGE + 6 weeks |
| 5 — Enterprise | Bulk operations, OAuth scopes, webhooks, SLA guarantees | TGE + 3 months |
