## Quick Start
Connect to the MCP endpoint with any MCP-compatible client:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"intelligence-aeternum": {
"url": "https://data-portal-172867820131.us-west1.run.app/mcp",
"transport": "streamable-http"
}
}
}
```
Or use the MonetizedMCP broker (x402 payment orchestration):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"fluora-mcp": {
"url": "https://fluora-mcp-172867820131.us-west1.run.app/mcp",
"transport": "streamable-http"
}
}
}
```

## Payment
Two payment paths -- one marketplace, two buyer types:
- **AI agents** pay with **x402 USDC micropayments on Base L2**. No API keys, no subscriptions -- agents pay autonomously per request.
- **Human buyers** pay with **Stripe checkout**. Credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay -- standard web checkout for dataset purchases and enrichment orders.
### x402 Flow (AI Agents)
1. Call a paid tool without payment
2. Receive HTTP 402 with x402 payment envelope
3. Execute USDC transfer on Base L2
4. Re-call with `X-PAYMENT` header containing transaction proof
5. Receive data
**Wallet:** `0xFE141943a93c184606F3060103D975662327063B`
### Stripe Flow (Human Buyers)
1. Select data products or enrichment services
2. Complete Stripe checkout (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay)
3. Receive artifacts via the same delivery pipeline
### Genesis Epoch (Launch Pricing)
**20% off all prices for 90 days** (started Feb 23, 2026).
Volume discounts auto-apply per wallet:

## Research
Our peer-reviewed paper *The Density Imperative* demonstrates that dense metadata significantly impacts VLM capability:
- **+25.5%** improvement with 111-field Golden Codex enrichment
- **-54.4%** degradation with sparse 10-20 word captions
- **+160%** semantic coverage vs raw captions

## Important: What You're Paying For
**Pricing applies to structured AI training metadata only** -- not the source images. All 2M+ source artworks are CC0/public domain from partner museums and freely available from their original APIs. What Intelligence Aeternum provides is:
- **Golden Codex enrichment**: 111-field NEST metadata generated by multi-model VLM analysis (Gemini + Claude + GPT-4o)
- **Compliance manifests**: Auto-generated AB 2013 + EU AI Act Article 53 documentation
- **Pipeline services**: Upscaling, metadata infusion, C2PA signing, hash registration, permanent storage
- **Structured datasets**: Pre-enriched collections optimized for AI training workflows
## License
Source code in this repository is provided for reference and transparency. The enrichment metadata, Golden Codex schema, and pipeline services are proprietary to Metavolve Labs, Inc. Source images from museums are CC0/public domain.
