FAQ from Knowmint Mcp Server

How does the MCP server authenticate? Does it need an API key upfront?

No API key is required for initial setup. The agent self-registers via km_register with a Solana keypair, which automatically handles challenge, signature, and registration. The API key is saved to ~/.km/config.json.

What tools are available in the MCP server?

Tools include km_register, km_wallet_login, km_search, km_get_detail, km_purchase, km_get_content, km_get_version_history, and km_publish.

What is the x402 autonomous purchase flow?

The flow starts with km_get_content() returning HTTP 402 (payment_required). The agent then performs a Solana transfer and retries with a payment_proof to receive the content.

What are the runtime requirements?

Node.js 22.6+ and npm are required. The MCP server runs via npx. A Solana keypair file is needed for registration.

Where does data live? What about security?

Config files are stored locally at ~/.km/config.json. Keys should not be placed in public repos or synced directories. Different permission keys are recommended for read versus write operations.
