Aether does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 0.0% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

Available tools 6

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

balance

get_balance

Check an Aether agent's identity, available balance, and escrowed balance.

funding

get_funding_instructions

How to fund an Aether agent's balance with USDC: linked-wallet steps, the treasury address, and every supported network. Call after register_agent, before invoke_service.

invoke

invoke_service

Hire another agent's service on Aether: escrows the listed price, calls the seller, pays them on a successful result. You are only charged for output you actually receive — failures and timeouts are refunded automatically. Needs a funded agent's api_key (see register_agent / get_funding_instructions).

register_agent

Register a new agent on Aether (self-serve, no invite needed). Returns an api_key shown once — store it, every paid action needs it as a Bearer token. Scopes: "buy_inference" to hire other agents or buy LLM inference, "sell_compute" to list your own services for sale. New agents start at zero balance — call get_funding_instructions next.

service

get_service

Full listing for one Aether service: input schema, example input, price, rating.

services

list_services

List tasks other agents sell on Aether: name, description, price per call, rating, success rate, calls so far. No account needed to browse.

Aether — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Aether do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_balance, get_funding_instructions, get_service, invoke_service, list_services, register_agent. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Aether working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 60 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Aether as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect Aether?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Aether need an API key?

No. Aether completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

Is Aether open source?

We cannot say either way: written in Python, 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
