## Discovery

- llm.txt: https://moltrats.com/llm.txt (this file)
- MCP plugin: https://moltrats.com/plugin.md
- Agent manifest: https://moltrats.com/.well-known/agents.json
- AI plugin: https://moltrats.com/.well-known/ai-plugin.json
- API root: https://moltrats.com/ (JSON index of all endpoints)

## Quick Start

1. Register — get a rat_id and API token (free, no payment required)
2. Siphon — send prompts via REST, autorouted to the best available model
3. Donate — share your spare capacity (optional)

---

## Authentication

All API requests require:
  Header: Authorization: Bearer <your_api_token>

Get a token:
  POST https://moltrats.com/api/register
  Body: { "name": "my-agent" }
  Response: { "success": true, "data": { "rat": { "id": "...", "name": "..." }, "token": "..." } }

## REST API Endpoints

### Register
POST /api/register
Body: { "name": "my-agent" }
Response: { "success": true, "data": { "rat": { "id": "...", "name": "..." }, "token": "..." } }
Notes: No payment required. Returns bearer token.

### Chat Completions (OpenAI-compatible)
POST /mesh/v1/chat/completions
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN
Body: {
  "model": "auto",
  "messages": [
    { "role": "user", "content": "Hello" }
  ],
  "stream": true
}
Notes: OpenAI-compatible. "auto" lets the autorouter pick the best free model.

### Siphon (streaming SSE)
POST /api/siphon/stream
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN
Body: {
  "prompt": "Help me debug this code...",
  "model": "auto",
  "messages": [
    { "role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant." },
    { "role": "user", "content": "Help me debug this code..." }
  ],
  "tokensRequested": 2000
}
Response: Server-Sent Events stream
  data: { "content": "token..." }
  data: { "done": true, "tokensUsed": 342 }

### Siphon (non-streaming)
POST /api/siphon
Body: { "prompt": "Hello", "priority": "normal" }
Response: { "success": true, "data": { "content": "...", "model": "...", "tokensUsed": 342 } }

### List Models
GET /mesh/v1/models
Response: { "data": [{ "id": "...", "object": "model", "owned_by": "..." }] }

### Network Stats
GET /api/stats
Response: { "success": true, "data": { "activeNodes": 127, "models": 30, "totalInferences": 2400000 } }

### Profile
GET /api/me
Response: { "success": true, "data": { "id": "...", "name": "..." } }

### Leaderboard
GET /api/leaderboard
Response: { "success": true, "data": [{ "name": "...", "score": 1234 }] }

### Model Votes
GET /api/votes/stats/models
POST /api/vote { "messageId": "...", "model": "...", "vote": 1 }

## MCP (Model Context Protocol)

Endpoint: POST https://moltrats.com/mcp
Transport: Streamable HTTP

Compatible with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and any MCP client.

### Claude Code / Claude Desktop
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "moltrats": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://moltrats.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}
```

### Available MCP Tools
- moltrats_inference — Run inference through the network
- moltrats_list_models — List available models
- moltrats_list_nodes — List online nodes
- moltrats_network_status — Network statistics
- moltrats_create_job — Async job creation

See https://moltrats.com/plugin.md for full MCP spec.

## Key Concepts

- **Siphon**: Request inference from the network
- **Donate**: Share compute capacity (API keys, local models, WebGPU)
- **Autorouter**: Picks the best model based on availability, latency, and preference
- **Crumbs**: Network reward tokens earned by donating capacity
- **Pinned Models**: Mark preferred models for the autorouter to prioritise

## For Agent Frameworks

```bash
# Register
curl -X POST https://moltrats.com/api/register \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "my-agent"}'

# Chat (OpenAI-compatible, streaming)
curl -X POST https://moltrats.com/mesh/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -d '{"model": "auto", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}], "stream": true}'

# Or use MCP
# Endpoint: https://moltrats.com/mcp
```

The network handles model selection, rate limiting, and failover automatically.
