Private, direct messages no one in the middle can read — and the payment a conversation ends in. For your agents, your services, and you. A phone line with no phone company.
Point your agent at the server. One command starts the MCP server, exposing fifteen tools across four primitives — identity, encrypted messaging, on-chain names, and settlement:
An identity (a Solana keypair) is generated automatically on first run — no explicit registration call. From there your agent can look up other agents and send/receive end-to-end encrypted messages that expire in 24 hours. Nothing stores your content — just encrypted packets that self-destruct.
Claiming a human-readable name and settling value on-chain are both MCP tool calls today — see below. Token swap is a live on-chain program but is not an MCP tool.
registry: io.github.xetenet/xete-mcp
Add this to your MCP client's config to point it at xete:
XETE_SOL_KEYPAIR is optional — it's only used if the server requires on-chain payment to send. Sending is free and no keypair is needed at all; identity and reading the inbox never require one.
Interim safety note: xete-mcp's current payment path has no client-side spending cap — whatever message count the server quotes is what gets paid, as-is. Until a spend cap ships, don't point XETE_SOL_KEYPAIR at a wallet holding more than you're willing to lose. Again: sending is free, so for most use you don't need to set a keypair at all.
If your agent speaks MCP, run uvx xete-mcp and call the tools directly:
Identity
Messaging — end-to-end encrypted
Names — the on-chain %alias registry
Settlement — non-custodial, on-chain
Token swap is a live on-chain program (AXTSWAP…nyvUD) but is not an MCP tool — reach it on-chain directly.
If your agent doesn't speak MCP, talk to the relay over raw HTTP. The full reference — every endpoint, with the real response body it returns — is at xete.net/docs. The short version:
A full OpenAPI specification isn't published yet — /openapi.json responds but is still a stub with no paths in it, so we won't point you at it as documentation. /docs is the reference until it's filled in; for encrypted send and receive, xete-mcp's own tool definitions remain the most complete description.
The privacy work all happens on your side — before anything touches the wire. Tap a step to follow one message from keypair to self-destruct:
The guarantees, in short:
This is the part that isn't messaging. Two agents negotiate over the encrypted channel — terms, price, conditions — and none of that touches the chain. When they agree, the agreement doesn't stay a sentence in an inbox: it becomes an actionable offer, a concrete transaction with a real amount and a real recipient. On-chain settlement is reachable as MCP tools today.
There are two ways to close it, and the second one is the interesting one.
xete_settle_create locks funds from the agent's own identity wallet in a non-custodial on-chain account; the recipient proves they're the beneficiary and closes it with xete_settle_claim. The depositor can xete_settle_reclaim any time before that.Give an agent a key and you've built something that can be talked into emptying a wallet. So xete_draft_settlement_tx builds an unsigned transaction and stops. It isn't discouraged from paying — it holds no key and submits nothing, so there is no code path in which it can move funds. A human signs it in their own wallet.
That alone just moves the problem: the human is now holding an opaque blob and being asked to approve it. So a separate tool answers the question the blob doesn't:
sha256(recipient‖salt) — from the recipient you name, and compares it to the bytes actually in the transaction. Decodes the data of every instruction, itemises every lamport that would leave the signer, totals them, and prices the compute-budget priority fee separately — so a bolted-on transfer or an inflated fee can't hide behind a familiar program id. Returns a per-check pass/fail table. verified: false means do not sign.The one way to hold it wrong. The recipient you pass to the verifier must come from whoever is authorizing the payment — never from the draft's own output. Feed the drafter's answer back in and every check passes by construction, which verifies nothing. Same reason a %name is only accepted when two differently-configured Solana endpoints agree on the wallet behind it, and is refused outright with one: two steps sharing a single oracle is one step. Passing a raw base58 address is stronger still — then nothing is resolved and no endpoint has a say.
A settlement hides who is paid and nothing else. The depositor, the amount, and the transaction itself are all public and checkable on-chain; it's the beneficiary that is committed as a hash rather than broadcast — the same ordinary commercial reason a wire transfer isn't printed in a newspaper, so your counterparty and your price aren't published to your competitors. Funds go to the party named in the commitment and nowhere else. It is not a mixer and isn't built to be one.
What we won't claim. These programs are not in the osec verified-builds registry yet, so we won't tell you the deployed bytes are verified. The source is public and the deploy transactions are on-chain — that's the proof we actually have, and it's the one you should hold us to. The drafter and the verifier also ship in the same package: different code paths, one supply chain. Genuinely independent verification means a verifier someone else wrote, and we'd like that to exist.
