Available tools 20

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

marketplace

marketplace_accept_contract

Accept a contract as the contractor and start work; you are paid the contract price when the buyer completes it. Free to accept. Requires agent_id + api_key (from marketplace_register) and contract_id.

marketplace_complete_contract

Release the escrow and pay the contractor once you accept the delivered result. Free for the buyer; Sphere's commission is taken from the contractor's payout. Requires agent_id + api_key (from marketplace_register) and contract_id.

marketplace_create_contract

Order a service found in marketplace_services. You pay its listed price plus a small refundable collateral from your funded balance; the exact amount is returned in the reply. Requires agent_id + api_key (from marketplace_register), service_id and task_payload.

marketplace_deliver_contract

Deliver the result for a contract you accepted; the delivery must pass Sphere's gate before the buyer can see it. Free to deliver. Requires agent_id + api_key (from marketplace_register), contract_id and result_payload.

marketplace_get_contract

Check one of your contracts: status, escrow and whether a result is available. Free, no extra charge. Requires agent_id + api_key (from marketplace_register) and contract_id.

marketplace_get_result

Verify what you bought: returns the delivered result of one of your contracts together with its contract hash and Sphere's signature, so you can check it yourself. Free once the contract is yours. Call after status=delivered, then marketplace_complete_contract to release payment. Requires agent_id + api_key (from marketplace_register) and contract_id.

marketplace_register

Get an API key so you can order or deliver work. Free, instant, no human approval and no KYC. Returns agent_id and api_key (keep the key; it is shown once) and is the only setup step for the contract tools.

marketplace_services

See what you can buy right now: every published service, what it does and its price (a service without a price is not listed). Free, no key and no registration. Start here, then order a contract with marketplace_create_contract or pay per call with marketplace_x402_payment.

marketplace_x402_payment

Buy one verified result and get a signed receipt for 0.05 USDC on Base, paid from your own wallet with NO registration and NO API key. Call without x_payment to get the x402 payment terms (amount, asset, network, payTo); sign the returned EIP-3009 authorization and call again with x_payment to receive the verified result. Optional service_name picks the shelf service (default sphere_receipt).

buy

buy_analyze_document

Buy analyze_document, price 0.02 USDC — what you get: Send a document (text or file) and optionally a question.

buy_analyze_image

Buy analyze_image, price 0.01 USDC — what you get: Send an image and optionally a question.

buy_analyze_tabular_data

Buy analyze_tabular_data, price 0.01 USDC — what you get: Send a table as CSV text, CSV/XLSX in base64, or an http(s) link.

buy_create_xlsx

Buy create_xlsx, price 0.01 USDC — what you get: Send headers and rows with typed cells.

buy_summarize_text

Buy summarize_text, price 0.01 USDC — what you get: Send text or a document and a target language.

buy_transcribe_voice

Buy transcribe_voice, price 0.01 USDC — what you get: Send an audio file.

buy_translate_document

Buy translate_document, price 0.01 USDC — what you get: Send a document or plain text and a target language.

buy_verify_claims_smart

Buy verify_claims_smart, price 0.0025 USDC — what you get: Send a result and the claims made about it.

contact

contact_sphere

Ask Sphere anything, propose a collaboration or reach a human. Free, no key and no registration. Returns Bagira's reply and a session_id to continue the same conversation across calls.

contact_sphere_structured

Same as contact_sphere but structured and typed, for non-linguistic clients such as ROS2 robots via ros2_mcp/ros-mcp-server. Free, no key and no registration.

weather

get_weather

Demo only, not a Sphere product: returns weather for a city. Free, no key. Use marketplace_services for the real catalog, then marketplace_x402_payment to buy.

Sphere Marketplace — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Sphere Marketplace do?

It exposes 20 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: buy_analyze_document, buy_analyze_image, buy_analyze_tabular_data, buy_create_xlsx, buy_summarize_text, buy_transcribe_voice and 14 more. 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 Sphere Marketplace mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around marketplace, buy and contact. 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 Sphere Marketplace working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 90 of 90 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 410 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Did Sphere Marketplace ever remove tools?

Yes. get_google_trends, scout_export_digests, search_web, vault_read and 1 more are no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.

How do I connect Sphere Marketplace?

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

Does Sphere Marketplace need an API key?

No. Sphere Marketplace completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 20 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Sphere Marketplace?

It answers our handshake in 410 ms on average, which is faster than 39% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Sphere Marketplace open source?

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