Stable source target
5.0.1 — the exact dependency-hardening source being prepared for promotion.
Current public runtime before host cutover
5.0.0 — the current public runtime before the v5.0.1 host cutover.
Promotion state
The source is being prepared as patch release 5.0.1. The host-side restart and GitHub release/tag are performed only after the running process is verified against this exact source.
Public verification
- Cloudflare Tunnel
crossingkey-mcp is healthy.
mcp.crossingkeyintelligence.com routes to the V5 origin on 127.0.0.1:3401.
- Public discovery reports V5, Streamable HTTP, and Base mainnet
eip155:8453.
- No live payment or Base settlement is implied by discovery metadata alone.
This repository is the source of truth for the v5.0.1 candidate. Runtime deployment and release tagging are tracked separately.

CrossingKey MCP v5.0.1
CrossingKey MCP is a governed machine-commerce interface for AI agents and authorized software clients.
The stable source preserves the existing anonymous MCP surface and adds the two authorized v4 paid audits. The exact live/public tool count remains a deployment-time verification item.
- 7 free discovery and commercial-navigation tools
- 8 public marketplace tools
- 13 direct x402 paid tools plus a separately named legacy credit-redemption compatibility tool for existing customers
Authenticated sessions additionally expose verification and role-gated marketplace operations.
The operating principle is:
Discovery is free. Evaluation is safe. Payment is explicit. Authority stays bounded. Execution is deterministic. Fulfillment is verifiable.
Free discovery
These seven tools can be used anonymously to understand the provider, available offers, requirements, price, expected result, authorization state, and prepaid-credit options without spending money:
provider.describe
offers.list
requirements.check
cost.estimate
result.preview
execution.preflight
credits.options (legacy compatibility status; new credit sales are disabled)
The normal discovery sequence is:
A valid commercial flow may reach:
and then stop at:
until the required buyer authorization and payment conditions are satisfied.
Public marketplace discovery
The preserved anonymous marketplace surface also exposes:
marketplace.describe
provider.register
provider.get
capability.get
capability.search
catalog.list
commerce.quote
creator.apply
Discovery, catalog browsing, capability inspection, and quoting do not themselves authorize paid execution.
provider.register and creator.apply are public write surfaces for application and intake workflows. They do not grant unrestricted commercial authority.
Paid and gated execution
These 13 tools perform valuable computation, validation, or artifact generation and use direct x402 payment:
x402.compatibility_audit
mcp.schema_audit
openapi.quality_audit
machine_commerce.readiness_audit
artifact.integrity_manifest
xkey.validate
Current v4 paid capabilities use exact x402 Base USDC payments. Historical prepaid credit balances remain redeemable only through the separately named legacy compatibility path; v4 does not sell new credit packs.
Free discovery does not consume paid execution credits.
Authenticated verification
Authenticated sessions can expose read-only verification tools including:
approval.verify
idempotency.inspect
receipt.verify
entitlement.inspect
Marketplace sessions may additionally expose role-gated job, receipt, purchase, provider, capability, and settlement operations.
Approval minting remains a local operator action and is not exposed over MCP.
Commercial flow
The governed machine-commerce path is:
Payment alone does not create unrestricted authority.
Authorization, payment verification, execution, fulfillment, entitlement creation, and receipt generation remain separate governed stages.
Human authorization
CrossingKey does not treat an LLM-supplied boolean such as approved: true as buyer authorization.
Where human authorization is required, approval is bound to the relevant commercial context, including the buyer, capability, inputs, quote, idempotency state, and expiration conditions.
Paid execution does not occur merely because an agent asks for it.
MCP resources
The candidate preserves the public MCP resources for agent comprehension:
crossingkey://discovery-guide
crossingkey://commerce-policy
crossingkey://capability/{name}
These describe the free discovery sequence, commerce policy, and per-capability instructions.
Machine commerce
CrossingKey supports governed machine-payment infrastructure including:
- x402 v1
- x402 v2
- Base USDC
- historical prepaid request credits through a separately named compatibility path only
- settlement verification
- entitlements
- result-bound receipts
- idempotent execution
- replay protection
The CrossingKey seller wallet boundary is receiver-only.
Agents are not granted unrestricted wallet signing, sending, swapping, bridging, or autonomous seller-spend authority.
Security properties
The production design includes:
- bounded input validation
- strict capability schemas
- SSRF protections
- DNS and address validation
- response-size controls
- authorization boundaries
- approval binding
- idempotency protection
- payment replay protection
- duplicate-settlement protection
- deterministic result hashing
- entitlement binding
- receipt verification
- receiver-only seller wallet policy
- explicit uncertain-settlement handling
No private keys, wallet secrets, Stripe secrets, API keys, seed phrases, mnemonics, or private customer information belong in this repository.
