PCH MCP Server

Drop-in MCP server for PathCourse Health (PCH) — cheaper LLM inference, USDC-based agent payments, and agent identity / reputation lookup. Works in Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue.dev, and Zed.

14 tools. 7 free (no API key needed) and 7 authenticated. Includes a unique flow that lets you buy a PCH API key from inside Claude Desktop using USDC — no signup form, no email verification.

Install

Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue.dev, Zed (npm)

Add to your client's MCP config:
