    How to connect

    How to connect Agent Vending Factory to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://agent-vending-factory-3srpjtr7na-ew.a.run.app/mcp

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    Authorization

    After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.

    How to connect Agent Vending Factory to ChatGPT

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://agent-vending-factory-3srpjtr7na-ew.a.run.app/mcp

    1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
    3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
    5. Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
    6. In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.

    OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

    Server tool list (4)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    tool_zar_pricesPOST /tools/zar-prices/run — Returns live bid/ask/last prices for crypto/ZAR pairs. Input: {pair: 'BTC/ZAR'|'ETH/ZAR'|'SOL/ZAR'|'USDC/ZAR'|'all'}. Output: array of {exchange, pair, price, bid, ask, timestamp} objects. Sources: VALR (all 4 pairs), Luno (BTC/ZAR + ETH/ZAR only). SOL/ZAR and USDC/ZAR are VALR-only. Fetches all exchanges concurrently. Timestamps are ISO-8601 UTC. Cost: $0.0050 USDC per call.
    tool_data_transformerPOST /tools/tool_data_transformer/run — Extracts structured JSON from raw text using a caller-supplied JSON Schema. Input: {raw_text: string, target_json_schema: object (JSON Schema draft-07)}. Output: {success, extracted_data, extraction_method, validation_passed, error}. extraction_method is one of: 'direct_parse', 'embedded_json', 'regex_extraction'. No LLM involved — pure parsing pipeline. Type coercion applied for integer/number/boolean fields. Works best with flat schemas; deeply nested structures extract less reliably via key-value pass. Cost: $0.0500 USDC per call.
    tool_compute_sandboxPOST /tools/tool_compute_sandbox/run — Executes Python 3.12 code in an isolated subprocess with a 5-second hard timeout. Input: {python_code: string, input_data: any (optional, bound as variable 'input_data')}. Output: {success, result, stdout (capped 50KB), execution_time_ms, error_type}. Return value: assign to 'result' variable. Pre-loaded: math, json, re, statistics, itertools, functools, collections, decimal, datetime, random, hashlib, base64. Blocked: import, open(), eval(), exec(), os, sys, network, class definitions, dunder attributes. error_type values: syntax_error | security_error | runtime_error | timeout_error. Cost: $0.1500 USDC per call.
    tool_sa_airport_oraclePOST /tools/sa-airport-oracle/run — Returns live flight status from ACSA (airports.co.za). Input: {airport_code: 'JNB'|'CPT'|'DUR', flight_number: string, request_type: 'arrival'|'departure'}. Output: {success, live_status, scheduled_time, estimated_time, actual_time, gate, carousel, terminal, flight_number, airport_code, request_type, error}. Coverage: JNB (O.R. Tambo), CPT (Cape Town Int'l), DUR (King Shaka). Data window: flights within 48 hours. Call GET /tools/sa-airport-oracle/health (free) first — if structure_valid=false, do not proceed. error_type values: 'stale_data' (do not retry), 'not found' (retry after 10-15 min), network error (retry once). flight_number is case-insensitive and normalised to uppercase internally. Read-only — no booking/ticketing. Cost: $0.1200 USDC per call.
