Provider Sovereignty
Self-hosted, self-custodial. The provider controls their keys, data, and pricing. Nothing is custodial.
Introduction
Agent Adapter Runtime
Section titled “Agent Adapter Runtime”Turn any API or MCP server into a self-hosted economic agent.
Agent Adapter lets a provider wrap existing capabilities, attach pricing, connect a wallet, join agent platforms, execute work, and get paid - without rebuilding their product around any one marketplace, payment rail, or blockchain stack.
The Problem
Section titled “The Problem”Most agent marketplaces assume providers will:
- Rewrite their service around a platform
- Integrate platform-specific task flows
- Learn on-chain payments and wallet plumbing
- Give up control of pricing, identity, or infrastructure
The Solution
Section titled “The Solution”Agent Adapter takes the opposite approach. Providers keep:
- Their API or MCP server - no rewrites
- Their wallet - self-custodial, provider-controlled
- Their hosting - self-hosted, no platform dependency
- Their pricing policy - local pricing overlays, not platform-dictated
- Their platform choices - join any agent economy, or many at once
The runtime handles the glue: capability discovery, tool exposure, wallet-backed execution, payment adapters, job tracking, and a management dashboard.
Core Principles
Section titled “Core Principles”Auto-Discovery
The runtime auto-discovers capabilities from OpenAPI specs or MCP servers. The provider decides which to enable and at what price.
Agent Decides
An embedded LLM agent decides which platforms to join, tasks to bid on, and prices to offer. The provider shapes policy through prompt and config.
Platform Agnostic
The core knows HTTP, payments, and jobs. Platform-specific flows are the agent’s responsibility, navigated by reading platform docs.
