Quickstart — Web

Get started with RickyData through the marketplace web interface and Claude.ai. No CLI installation required.

Browse the marketplace

Visit marketplace.rickydata.org to browse available MCP servers. You can:

• Search servers by name or category
• View tool descriptions and documentation
• Check server verification status (tools_listed or tool_smoke_passed)

Browsing is free and does not require authentication.

Connect your wallet

To enable servers and chat with agents, connect your wallet:

1. Click Connect Wallet in the marketplace header
2. Sign in via Privy (email, Google, GitHub, Discord, or Web3 wallet)
3. Your wallet address becomes your identity across all RickyData services

Connect to Claude.ai

You can add the MCP Gateway to Claude Desktop or any MCP-compatible client with a single configuration entry.

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-gateway": {
      "transport": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.rickydata.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to your MCP settings:

{
  "mcp-gateway": {
    "transport": "http",
    "url": "https://mcp.rickydata.org/mcp"
  }
}

Once connected, your AI client has access to gateway meta-tools:

Meta-tool	What it does
gateway__search_servers	Search the marketplace by name or category
gateway__enable_server	Enable a server to access its tools
gateway__disable_server	Disable a server
gateway__list_enabled	See your currently enabled servers
gateway__server_info	Get details about a specific server

Try a search

Ask your AI client:

"Search for a Brave search MCP server and enable it"

The client will use gateway__search_servers to find matching servers, then gateway__enable_server to activate one. Once enabled, the server's tools appear and the client can call them directly.

Chat with an agent

The marketplace also hosts AI agents at marketplace.rickydata.org/agents. To chat:

1. Pick an agent (research, crypto, coding, security, etc.)
2. Connect your wallet if not already connected
3. Store your Anthropic API key (BYOK) or use the free tier
4. Start chatting — the agent calls MCP tools on your behalf

The default agent is erc8004-expert at https://rickydata.org/agents/erc8004-expert.

Costs

Action	Cost
Browsing, searching, tools/list	Free
MCP tool call	$0.0005 USDC (0.25 of a free-tier request)
