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:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pch": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@pathcourse/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"PCH_API_KEY": "pch_prod_b_..."
}
}
}
}
If you don't have a PCH API key yet, omit the env block. Many tools work without authentication; you can obtain a key via the pch_provision tool.

Never commit PCH_API_KEY to a public repo. The wrapper logs a warning at startup if it detects a key that looks like a real production key being passed through env. If you accidentally exposed your key, rotate it via PCH support.
