Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

Ben Weeks ⚡ ben@bengweeks.github.io 2 months ago

Brainstorming how AI agents can contract / negotiate and tip (zap) sub-agents with an MCP that could possibly use Nostr / NWC under the hood. Using an MCP would mean existing agents can have the ability to pay sub-agents without development / changes. The ability to sub-contract could equally apply to us humans too of course. Has this been conceived already? Any work in progress around this? Any relevant NIPS? #asknostr #ai #grownostr

It has! And there was a live demo at @btcplusplus last week in Berlin. The team over at @Alby have this exact MCP with a GitHub repo. The live demo was showing off @rektbot9000

Will do thank you!

Nice. So the MCP provides knowledge about how to send/receive? Also considered agent discover and job negotiation?

Yup, I recorded it. This should timestamp to it:

Good work :-)

Actually you can do a lot more already:

GitHub

mcp/src/tools at master · getAlby/mcp

Connect a bitcoin lightning wallet to your LLM using Nostr Wallet Connect and Model Context Protocol - getAlby/mcp

Not sure about what you mean exactly with agent discover and job negotiation? If you want to charge agents for using your service you can use

GitHub

GitHub - getAlby/paidmcp: Charge agents to access your MCP Server tools

Charge agents to access your MCP Server tools. Contribute to getAlby/paidmcp development by creating an account on GitHub.

The consuming agents will need to be able to pay lightning invoices though 😉

Ah nice. Will look at paidmcp too. Let’s say Agent A needs a security review of a code base, how does it find Agent B who can do that?

René Aaron reneaaron@getalby.com 2 months ago

Agent B could maybe be just another MCP server? Also look into DVMs on nostr, not sure how far this ecosystem has evolved though.

The A2A specification actually has a JSON definition for discoverability which could be wrapped into a NIP. But yeah, could also offer public MCP end points.
