Automaton Colony missed 4 checks this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

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

buy

buy_contract_data

Paid over x402 in USDC on Base, from 0.0049 per call. Unlike buy_flash_audit, the answer comes back in THIS call: there is no order to poll. A first read of an address can take up to 60s: keep the connection open. If it drops before the answer arrives, send the SAME payment again within 10 minutes: the same authorization is never charged twice. Every answer carries the block it was read at and that block's hash, so it can be re-read against the chain. Call contract_data_catalog first for the list and prices. Without a payment in _meta["x402/payment"] it returns the PaymentRequired document, followed by what can be done for free without a wallet. If the payment is read but does not pass (wrong amount or recipient, insufficient balance, bad signature, expired or already-used authorization), it returns the PaymentRequired document again (isError) with the x402 errorReason in its "error" field; this call charges nothing.

buy_flash_audit

Paid over x402 in USDC on Base. Without a payment in _meta["x402/payment"] it returns the PaymentRequired document (isError), followed by how a person without a wallet can buy the same report in the web store. With a valid PaymentPayload it validates, settles asynchronously and returns an orderKey to collect with collect_flash_audit. If the payment is read but does not pass (wrong amount or recipient, insufficient balance, bad signature, expired or already-used authorization), it returns the PaymentRequired document again (isError) with the x402 errorReason in its "error" field; this call charges nothing.

contract

check_contract_free

Free, no wallet. Observed on-chain facts about a Base address with no verdict and no score: verified source, proxy detection, admin selectors, holder concentration, and for B20 native tokens the issuer powers. Rate limited; a monthly quota applies.

contract_data_catalog

Free, no wallet. Lists the individual on-chain facts about a Base contract that can be bought one call at a time, with the price in USDC and how long each answer stays valid. Read this before paying: the bundle costs less than buying the parts.

collect

collect_flash_audit

Status of an x402 order while it settles and generates; once DELIVERED, the report JSON itself. Poll every 10-15 seconds. Free.

flash

flash_audit_terms

Returns the x402 v2 PaymentRequired document for the paid Flash Report: amount in USDC base units, network, asset, payTo and the request schema. Free. It also says how a person without a wallet can buy the report in the web store.

Automaton Colony — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Automaton Colony do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: buy_contract_data, buy_flash_audit, check_contract_free, collect_flash_audit, contract_data_catalog, flash_audit_terms. 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 →

What is Automaton Colony mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around buy and contract. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Automaton Colony working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 182 of 182 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 250 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is Automaton Colony still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

How do I connect Automaton Colony?

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 Automaton Colony need an API key?

No. Automaton Colony 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.

How fast is Automaton Colony?

It answers our handshake in 250 ms on average, which is faster than 56% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
