How It Works
1. Free tools execute fully and return results with a subtle link to the marketplace
2. Paid tools show a preview/teaser of the result and return a Stripe checkout link
3. Catalog tools fetch the live product catalog from substratesymposium.com/api/products.json (cached for 15 minutes)
4. Purchasing happens via Stripe payment links — each product has a unique checkout URL
Development
git clone https://github.com/underground-district/mcp-server
cd mcp-server
npm install
npm start
Architecture
- Transport: stdio (standard MCP)
- Runtime: Node.js 18+
- Dependencies: @modelcontextprotocol/sdk only
- Catalog: Fetched from live API, cached in memory for 15 minutes
