What makes this different

Most payment tools let an agent spend. Floe lets an agent reason about spend before it commits — and stops it before it overruns.

  • Agent-awareness toolsget_credit_remaining, estimate_x402_cost, get_loan_state: your agent asks "do I have budget? is this call worth it?" before paying, not after.
  • Context-aware budgets — set a session spend cap; the agent tapers as it nears the limit and replans to finish on budget.
  • The floe-budget Claude Skill (ships in this repo) — the playbook that turns those tools into deliberate spending behavior. Jump to it ↓
  • Server-side enforcement — the soft signal is the skill; the hard ceiling is the on-chain spend cap + merchant allowlist. The agent cannot overspend regardless of what it decides.

Quick start (remote, recommended)

{ "mcpServers": { "floe": {
  "url": "https://mcp.floelabs.xyz/mcp",
  "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer floe_YOUR_AGENT_KEY" }
} } }

Get your agent key: dashboard → Create agent → copy the floe_<hex> key (shown once). Or from the CLI: npx floe-agent register --name my-agent.

Install options

Option 1 (remote) is in Quick start above. For local runs:

Local via npx

Run the server locally. It proxies all requests to the Floe API.

FLOE_API_KEY=floe_YOUR_AGENT_KEY npx @floelabs/mcp-server

Claude Desktop config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "floe": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@floelabs/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "FLOE_API_KEY": "floe_YOUR_AGENT_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor config (.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "floe": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@floelabs/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "FLOE_API_KEY": "floe_YOUR_AGENT_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Install globally

npm install -g @floelabs/mcp-server
FLOE_API_KEY=floe_YOUR_AGENT_KEY floe-mcp

Auth model

Auth source depends on transport:

Transport Identity source
Remote HTTP (https://mcp.floelabs.xyz/mcp) Authorization: Bearer <key> header (per-request)
Local stdio (floe-mcp / npx @floelabs/mcp-server) FLOE_API_KEY env var
Local HTTP (self-hosted) Bearer header takes precedence; when ALLOW_SHARED_KEY_FALLBACK=true, the server falls back to FLOE_API_KEY if no header is sent

Which key to use

Two key formats unlock different surfaces:

Key format Scope When to use
floe_<64-hex> (agent key, recommended) One specific agent Default for MCP. Required for agent-awareness tools (get_credit_remaining, get_loan_state, get_spend_limit, etc). One MCP session = one agent.
floe_live_<base62> (developer key) Whole developer account Use only if you're running a multi-tenant integration that needs to see all agents. Agent-awareness tools return 401 because the caller is the developer, not a single agent.

Get an agent key:

  1. Go to dev-dashboard.floelabs.xyz
  2. Connect your wallet and Create an agent (name + borrow limit + max rate)
  3. Copy the floe_<64-hex> key shown at the end of the wizard — it is revealed once

You can also mint one from the CLI without visiting the dashboard:

# TypeScript SDK
npx floe-agent register --name my-agent --borrow-limit 10000

# Python SDK
floe-agent register --name my-agent --borrow-limit 10000

Get a developer key (only if you need multi-tenant access across all your agents):

  1. Go to dev-dashboard.floelabs.xyz/keys
  2. Click Create Key, label it, pick read or read_write permissions
  3. Copy the floe_live_<base62> key shown once

Developer keys span the whole developer account and have a separate rate limit (100 req/min). Agent-awareness tools (get_credit_remaining, get_spend_limit, etc) return 401 with a developer key because the caller is the developer, not a single agent — use an agent key for those. See the API Keys docs for the full taxonomy.

Fund with fiat: You can fund your wallet with USDC via Coinbase — credit card, bank transfer, Apple Pay, Google Pay — directly from the dashboard. No crypto on-ramp needed.

Multiple agents

One Floe developer can own many agents. To run several MCP sessions side by side (e.g. a research agent and a trading agent), mint one key per agent and configure each MCP client entry with its own key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "floe-research": {
      "url": "https://mcp.floelabs.xyz/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer floe_KEY_FOR_RESEARCH_AGENT" }
    },
    "floe-trading": {
      "url": "https://mcp.floelabs.xyz/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer floe_KEY_FOR_TRADING_AGENT" }
    }
  }
}

Each session is scoped to one agent — credit lines, spend limits, and webhooks stay isolated.

Agent-awareness tools ⭐

Lets an agent answer "do I have credit?", "is this call worth it?", and "where am I in the loan lifecycle?" before committing capital. All require an agent API key (floe_*). The calling identity is taken from the Bearer header in HTTP mode, or from FLOE_API_KEY in stdio mode (and as a fallback in HTTP mode when ALLOW_SHARED_KEY_FALLBACK=true).

Tool Description
get_credit_remaining Current available credit, headroom to auto-borrow, utilization in bps
get_loan_state Coarse state: idle | borrowing | at_limit | repaying
get_spend_limit Currently active session spend cap, if any
set_spend_limit Set a session-level USDC ceiling (resets the session window)
clear_spend_limit Remove the session spend cap
list_credit_thresholds List registered credit-utilization thresholds
register_credit_threshold Register a webhook trigger at a utilization threshold (cap: 20 per agent)
delete_credit_threshold Remove a registered threshold
estimate_x402_cost Preflight an x402 URL — returns cost + reflection against your credit, no payment

Merchant-allowlist tools

Opt-in, default-deny restriction on which destinations the agent may pay. An allowlist entry is an ordinary capped policy row that doubles as "allowed AND capped". Default mode off = allow any vendor (zero onboarding friction). All require an agent API key (floe_*).

Tool Description
set_allowlist_mode Set enforcement: off | host (block unlisted hosts pre-fetch) | vendor (block unlisted payees pre-sign) | both
get_allowlist_mode Read the agent's current enforcement mode
add_allowlist_entry Add an allowed-AND-capped entry — kind=api (host) or kind=vendor (payee), with a limit_raw spend cap
remove_allowlist_entry Revoke an allowlist entry by policy id (from list_allowlist)
list_allowlist List host (api) and payee (vendor) allowlist entries with their caps

Roadmap tools (not yet shipped)

Budget-awareness skill (floe-budget)

A portable Claude Skill ships with this repo at skills/floe-budget/. It makes any Claude-native agent (Claude Code, the Agent SDK, claude.ai, or any MCP client) spend its Floe credit deliberately: read budget status before paying, taper as it nears the tightest cap, replan to finish the task on budget, and stop before the ceiling.

The MCP tools above are the actions; the skill is the playbook. It reads budget status from the existing get_credit_remaining, get_spend_limit, estimate_x402_cost, and get_loan_state tools, plus the X-Floe-Budget-Advisory header the Floe x402 proxy stamps on paid responses. No new tool or backend is required.

Soft signal, not the guardrail. The skill helps a cooperative agent spend wisely. The real ceiling is enforced server-side — the on-chain credit line, the session spend cap, and (if configured) the merchant allowlist refuse calls past the limit regardless of what the agent decides.

Use it:

  • Claude Code — copy the folder into your personal (or a repo's .claude/) skills directory; Claude discovers it automatically from the SKILL.md frontmatter.
    • From a cloned repo: cp -r skills/floe-budget ~/.claude/skills/
    • From an npm install: cp -r node_modules/@floelabs/mcp-server/skills/floe-budget ~/.claude/skills/
  • claude.ai / Agent SDK — upload or register the floe-budget skill folder per the Agent Skills docs.
  • Any MCP client — point the model at skills/floe-budget/SKILL.md as system/context guidance alongside the Floe MCP connection.

See skills/floe-budget/SKILL.md for the playbook and skills/floe-budget/reference.md for the X-Floe-Budget-Advisory field reference.


Transaction Flow

All write tools return unsigned transactions — the server never holds private keys.

1. Call a write tool (e.g., create_counter_intent)
   → Returns { transactions: [...], summary, warnings, expiresAt }

2. (Optional) Call simulate_transaction to dry-run

3. Sign each transaction locally with your wallet

4. Call broadcast_transaction with the signed hex
   → Returns { transactionHash, status, blockNumber }

Example: Get a USDC Credit Line

Agent: "I need 9,950 USDC working capital"

1. get_open_lend_intents → browse USDC/USDC offers
2. create_counter_intent(offer_hash, wallet) → unsigned txs
3. simulate_transaction(from, to, data) → { success: true, gasEstimate }
4. Sign locally → signed hex
5. broadcast_transaction(signed_hex) → confirmed

Signing with viem

import { createWalletClient, http } from "viem";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";
import { base } from "viem/chains";

const wallet = createWalletClient({
  account: privateKeyToAccount(PRIVATE_KEY),
  chain: base,
  transport: http(),
});

// Sign and send each transaction in order
for (const { transaction: tx } of response.transactions) {
  const hash = await wallet.sendTransaction({
    to: tx.to,
    data: tx.data,
    value: BigInt(tx.value),
  });
  // Wait for confirmation before next step
}

Programmatic Usage

MCP Client SDK

import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client";
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js";

const client = new Client({ name: "my-agent" });
await client.connect(new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://mcp.floelabs.xyz/mcp"),
  { requestInit: { headers: { "Authorization": "Bearer floe_..." } } }
));

const markets = await client.callTool("get_markets", {});
const counter = await client.callTool("create_counter_intent", {
  offer_hash: "0x...",
  wallet_address: "0x...",
});

LangChain / LangGraph

from langchain_mcp_adapters import MultiServerMCPClient

async with MultiServerMCPClient({
    "floe": {"url": "https://mcp.floelabs.xyz/mcp", "headers": {"Authorization": "Bearer floe_..."}}
}) as client:
    tools = client.get_tools()
    # Use tools in your agent

CrewAI

CrewAI agents can consume the Floe MCP tools via langchain-mcp-adapters. A runnable crew is available in floe-examples/crewai-demo.


Architecture

Your Agent → MCP Server → credit-api.floelabs.xyz → Envio Indexer / Base RPC
                ↑                    ↑
           This package         Private backend
          (open source)        (holds secrets)

The MCP server is a thin HTTP client. All protocol logic, indexer queries, and RPC calls happen in the private Floe API backend. This package contains only tool definitions and fetch() calls.


Protocol overview

Floe is an intent-based lending protocol on Base, surfaced as the lending layer of the Financial OS:

  1. Primary market (USDC/USDC): Deposit USDC as collateral, borrow up to 99.5% as a credit line. No price-volatility risk — same-token market.
  2. Volatile markets: Also supports WETH and cbBTC collateral for crypto-native use cases.
  3. Solvers automatically match compatible intent pairs on-chain.
  4. Loans are created with matched terms, collateral locked in per-loan isolated escrow.
  5. Gas-free — Floe sponsors all transaction costs.
  6. Fixed rates — no variable-rate surprises.

Key concepts:

  • Intent: An on-chain offer to lend or borrow
  • Counter-Intent: An intent created to match an existing offer
  • Health Factor: Ratio of collateral value to debt — below threshold triggers liquidation
  • LTV (Loan-to-Value): Borrower's debt as % of collateral value
