Marketplace UI Operations

A walkthrough of common operations in the marketplace web interface.

Browsing servers​

  1. Visit marketplace.rickydata.org
  2. Use the search bar to find servers by name (e.g., "brave", "github", "arxiv")
  3. Browse by category using the sidebar filters
  4. Click a server card to see its details, tools, and verification status

Enabling a server​

  1. Connect your wallet (top-right button)
  2. Navigate to a server's detail page
  3. If the server requires API keys, enter them in the secrets form
  4. Click Enable — the server's tools become available in your MCP client

Secrets are encrypted per-wallet and stored in the gateway's vault. The marketplace UI never has direct access to the vault — all operations go through the gateway API.

Managing enabled servers​

View your currently enabled servers from the dashboard. For each enabled server you can:

  • View tools — see the list of tools and their descriptions
  • Disable — remove the server from your active tool list
  • Update secrets — change API keys if needed

Chatting with agents​

  1. Navigate to the Agents section
  2. Pick an agent (e.g., erc8004-expert, research-agent)
  3. If you haven't already, store your Anthropic API key via the settings panel
  4. Start chatting — messages stream via SSE with tool call transparency

The chat interface shows:

  • Message bubbles — your messages and agent responses
  • Tool calls — expandable panels showing which tools the agent called and their results
  • Session info — current session ID, model, accumulated cost

Wallet management​

Access wallet features from the wallet menu:

Balance​

  • View your USDC balance on Base mainnet
  • See your deposit address (send USDC on Base to this address)
  • View transaction history

Spending budgets​

Set per-agent limits:

  • Daily budget — maximum spend per day per agent
  • Weekly budget — rolling 7-day limit
  • Monthly budget — rolling 30-day limit

API key management​

  • Store your Anthropic API key (sk-ant-...)
  • Check whether a key is configured (key material is never displayed)
  • Delete your stored key
Connect wallet to see your connection status

Checking gateway health​

The marketplace connects to both gateways. Check their status:

  • MCP Gateway: https://mcp.rickydata.org/health
  • Agent Gateway: https://agents.rickydata.org/health

Or visit the public status page for a live health check.
