Before an Agent Pays: Mycelium’s Free MCP Allocation Call

An agent deciding whether to pay for market data should first learn what it can read for free. Mycelium Finance exposes Solana strategy data through an MCP endpoint, so a builder can inspect the tool schema and call a free read before deciding whether a paid x402 response is useful.

I tested the public endpoint at https://www.myceliumfinance.com/api/mcp. After the standard MCP initialize, notifications/initialized, and tools/list exchange, the free get_mycelium_allocation tool can be called with this JSON-RPC body:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 3,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_mycelium_allocation",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}

The response is more useful than a single headline number. It includes a total, project-level USD amounts and percentages, and pool details such as address, DEX, pair token, and whether the pool resolved. The tool description says its data refreshes every 60 seconds; the payload also carries an updatedAt timestamp and a partial flag, which a client should preserve rather than assume the data is current or complete.

In the response I received at 17:26:18 UTC on 13 October 2026, updatedAt was 17:26:06 UTC, totalUsd was $33,455.19 across 10 allocation entries, and partial was false. The ten listed USD values sum to the same total. One example: KNOTS was reported at $7,505.33, or 22.43% of the total, with two Raydium pools, one paired with $ESF and one with $MYC. That pair-level breakdown makes the project’s stated migration from $ESF pairs to $MYC pairs visible in the data instead of leaving the reader to infer it from a chart.

The same live tools/list response advertises a separate get_mycelium_snapshot tool for $0.05 USDC via x402, combining allocation and top-performer data. I did not call that paid tool or make a payment. The useful builder flow is simply: inspect the free tool and its schema first, then decide whether the bundled paid response is worth the cost for the agent’s task.

One implementation detail to account for: the allocation arrives in the MCP result’s content[0].text as JSON text, so parse that field and retain updatedAt, partial, and the source timestamp alongside any derived display values. This is a data-integration example, not a price feed, a performance claim, or investment advice. Dollar values are the server’s reported tracked liquidity at that snapshot; they do not by themselves establish market depth or what a token can be sold for.

Sources: Mycelium Finance (project site); live MCP endpoint and its tools/list / get_mycelium_allocation responses, checked 13 October 2026 at 17:26 UTC. The total, count, and KNOTS figures above come from those responses; KNOTS’s displayed percentage is rounded from the returned value. The $0.05 x402 price comes from the live tools/list description, not a paid call.
