A setup command for connecting the local OpenDexter proxy to its hosted, governed runtime and checking the exact tools it provides.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install the proxy for supported coding clients, connect it, check connection status, and verify its seven-tool surface.
Why use it?
It helps configure the connection and verify access details before treating payment authority or available tools as active.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

setup-opendexter scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Install OpenDexter MCP

Set up the local proxy for OpenDexter's hosted governed x402 runtime. Setup never creates or enables a local payment wallet.

Steps

  1. Run the guided installer:
npx @dexterai/[email protected] setup

To target one client:

npx @dexterai/[email protected] install --client cursor

Supported client names are cursor, claude-code, codex, vscode, windsurf, and gemini-cli. Codex uses TOML, so the installer prints its exact block instead of editing it.

  1. Connect the proxy to the hosted governed runtime:
npx @dexterai/[email protected] connect
npx @dexterai/[email protected] connect status

The connection stores an OAuth bearer. It does not by itself prove an active grant. The bearer targets https://open.dexter.cash/mcp with exact requested scope vault. Dexter's signed top-level dexter_surface token claim is separate authority evidence, not a requested OAuth scope. Status must report the exact live grant, principal, limits, remaining capacity, expiry, scopes, active role, and revocation evidence before payment authority is treated as active.

  1. Verify tools/list. @dexterai/[email protected] exposes eight tools, even before connection:

x402_search, x402_check, x402_fetch, x402_status, x402_access, x402_wallet, dexter_portfolio, and dexter_report_work.

Confirm that the client lists all eight. Use reporting for meaningful work updates with the stored OAuth bearer bound to the same agent; it needs no spending grant or funding. Keep private data, credentials and control characters out of summaries. Server-assigned observedAt and expiresAt describe statement freshness.

After an uncertain report response, preserve the same operationId and identical fields. On a revision conflict, inspect currentReport and currentRevision; a deliberate update uses a new operationId and that currentRevision as expectedRevision. After rejection or possible dispatch, the proxy does not refresh authentication and resend the report automatically. Financial outcomes retain their own receipts.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
