Setup guide

Set up ari-mcp-server in Continue

communityunknownunknown

MCP server that stops AI agents from overpaying. Drops into Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, Windsurf, Zed, ChatGPT desktop, and Gemini CLI to give any agent live fair-market-value lookups, a green/amber/red prepay verdict, and cryptographically-signed (Ed25519) receipts for every x402 / MPP / agentic-payment quote.

01Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ari-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "ari-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Add this to ~/.continue/config.yaml. Generated from the captured install method (uvx); the mcpServers shape is shared across Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and VS Code.

02Steps

Make sure Continue is installed and up to date.
Open ~/.continue/config.yaml and add the block above (merge into any existing mcpServers).
Provide any required API keys/credentials as environment variables.
Restart Continue and confirm ari-mcp-server’s tools appear.
