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

fortytwo-mcp scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/fortytwo_query.py, scripts/preflight.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The bundled script does not support streaming. For incremental output on long queries, use curl with SSE directly — see [streaming.md](references/streaming.md) for the request format and parsing algorithm.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 101 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Fortytwo MCP

Calls Fortytwo Prime — a collective inference system where multiple independent AI agents collaborate on every question. Paid per-token via x402 escrow using USDC on Base or Monad.

Prerequisites

The script signs on-chain payments using evm_private_key environment variable. Never ask the user to paste the key into chat — it must be set via shell:

export evm_private_key="0x..."

For full wallet setup and network details, see setup.md.

Getting Started

Before the first query, or if the script fails with a setup error:

  1. Explain that Prime is available and pricing is pay-per-token
  2. Run preflight: python scripts/preflight.py
  3. If preflight fails, guide user through setup.md
  4. Note which networks preflight reports as READY — pass the correct --network to the query script

Instructions

Querying Fortytwo Prime

Run the full MCP flow via script: Run from the skill directory:

cd /path/to/skills/fortytwo-mcp
python scripts/fortytwo_query.py "your question here" --network base
  • Answer goes to stdout, diagnostics to stderr
  • Session is saved automatically to /tmp/.fortytwo_session

Follow-up queries (session reuse, no new payment)

python scripts/fortytwo_query.py "follow-up question"

Session is auto-detected from the saved file — no need to pass --session-id. Sessions live up to 90 minutes (15 min idle timeout). If the session expired, the script automatically falls through to a new payment.

Use --no-session to force a new payment. Use --session-id <uuid> to override manually.

Streaming (optional)

The bundled script does not support streaming. For incremental output on long queries, use curl with SSE directly — see streaming.md for the request format and parsing algorithm.

Key details

  • Errors are not charged. Failed requests cancel the budget reservation automatically.
  • Sessions are billing-only. Prime does not remember previous questions — include context in each query.
  • Retries are built in. The script retries up to 3 times on transient 400/502 with fresh signatures.
  • Timeout is 600s (10 minutes). On-chain settlement + multi-agent inference takes time. Run the script with a sufficient timeout — do not kill it early or set shorter limits.

What ships with it

Changes

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.
