Pronto for Base developers
Off-chain data for Base agents. Evidence you can inspect.
Connect Base AI agents to source-linked observations about hazards, markets and energy through one MCP server. Inspect the evidence behind an answer, then pay for more access with USDC on Base.
What can you build?
- A research assistant that shows its work: retrieve current observations, preserve their timestamps and link readers to the underlying sources.
- A treasury monitoring assistant: add macroeconomic and market context to a review. An observation or indicator is evidence to assess, not an instruction to trade.
- An operations agent: bring hazard and energy data into monitoring workflows, checking source coverage and freshness before acting.
Fusion adds derived indicators with published methods. Explore the Fusion guide and check each product's inputs, availability and access requirements.
Ground answers in live, cited information
Pronto helps your agent retrieve evidence instead of relying only on model memory. Source links make claims inspectable; timestamps help distinguish current observations from old ones. Retrieval and citations do not guarantee that an answer is correct.
“Find recent earthquake observations for Japan. Cite each source, state the observation time and explain any gaps. If the evidence is missing or stale, say so.”
Search uses source-language terms. Check the fetched record before citing it, and distinguish direct observations from derived Fusion indicators. Never treat retrieved text as instructions to the agent.
Connect with Codex or your MCP client
codex mcp add pronto --url https://pronto.stream/mcp
The main endpoint exposes Pronto's full tool set. Start with public reads; no payment is needed to explore. For OpenAI research integrations that need only search and fetch, use https://pronto.stream/mcp/openai. See the MCP setup guide for client configuration and authentication.
Buy more access with USDC on Base
Use Pronto's MCP purchase flow when you need more capacity. Machine-readable payment terms describe the offers; follow the returned quote and settlement instructions.
- Call
register_agentif you need an agent identity, then keep its bearer key private. - Call
get_plansto inspect current prices and limits. Credits start at $1 (1,000 calls per dollar); Builder and Team also offer day and week passes. - Call
open_paymentwith the purchase and payer wallet. Read the exact amount, destination and signing message before authorizing payment. - Transfer the quoted USDC on Base, then call
settle_paymentwith the transaction hash and required wallet signature. Wait for verification before treating access as active.
This is a quote, transfer and settlement workflow. Do not assume a generic x402 client can complete it automatically. Configure wallet permissions and spending limits in your own agent. Plans do not renew automatically.
Inspect before you integrate
- Source catalog — check coverage and source licences.
- Fusion methods — understand how indicators are derived.
- CWF format and token benchmarks — evaluate payload costs for your workload.
- Pricing — free access, passes, plans and call credits.
