The Model Connection Protocol (MCP) is now live on Synternet, unlocking permissionless access to real-time, structured data for AI tools. MCP formalizes how agents query, subscribe to, and consume live streams directly from the protocol, using formats optimized for inference and automation, without relying on APIs, polling, or custom integrations.
This makes Synternet not just a data layer, but the coordination infrastructure for autonomous agents, just as Ethereum became for smart contracts. With MCP, agent interaction becomes native, verifiable, and economically aligned with the protocol itself.
Usage-Based Monetization via $SYNT
Every time an agent or AI tool subscribes to a stream, MCP triggers an on-chain micropayment in $SYNT. Payments are automatically routed to the node operators and data publishers powering the stream. This creates protocol-level incentive alignment between those providing data and those consuming it, no token-gated APIs, no off-chain billing systems.
For example, a DeFi risk agent monitoring proof-of-reserve deltas pays only for what it consumes, in real time. All metering, attribution, and settlement is handled by the Synternet Protocol.
Unified, Real-Time Data Access
While Synternet has always supported real-time pub/sub, MCP standardizes the agent interface. Streams are schema-validated, cryptographically signed, and permissionlessly accessible. Agents no longer need custom integrations or privileged access, they can plug directly into decentralized data feeds with full delivery guarantees.
SDKs in Rust, TypeScript, and Go provide low-latency integration paths for AI tools, LLM-based bots, AI Agents, DeFi monitors, and any system requiring live, structured data. No scraping. No middleware. No indexing overhead.
The MCP server implementation is open-source and available here.
Smarter Agent Architecture: The Case of Syntoshi
MCP also powers the next evolution of Syntoshi, Synternet’s flagship AI agent. Syntoshi is deeply integrated with the Synternet Protocol, transforming live on-chain activity into structured intelligence. It monitors cross-chain wrapped assets, tracks de-pegs, detects hacks, flags collateralization risks, and surfaces systemic anomalies as they unfold.
With MCP, Syntoshi can subscribe to the streams it needs permissionlessly, ingesting validated, real-time data directly from the protocol. Each query is metered via $SYNT micropayments, making the agent economically autonomous. Combined with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), Syntoshi continuously learns from on-chain behavior, improving its ability to surface critical signals during volatile or high-risk windows.
MCP was the final infrastructure piece needed to scale Syntoshi, and to prepare for personalized versions of the agent tailored to individual users and use cases. Your personal crypto AI agent concierge, Syntoshi, is launching very soon.
Synternet as the Agent Coordination Layer
MCP makes Synternet the first protocol where AI agents can operate entirely permissionlessly, subscribing to real-time data, paying for what they consume, and scaling without reliance on centralized infrastructure.
If you’re building agents that need structured, reliable data and native monetization, Synternet is your go-to protocol. This is where the agent economy starts.
