Connecting an agent

PIG is a first-class application for agents. The same MCP server serves every client, so nobody is asked to use a different tool than the one they already work in.

What connects

Client How
Claude Code claude mcp add pig -- npx -y @pig/mcp
Codex Add PIG as an MCP server in its config, with the same env vars
prime-agent It is an MCP client; add PIG through /mcp
Buzz Agents reach PIG through the ACP bridge's MCP support

Setup

Create an API key in PIG under Settings → API keys, then:

export PIG_URL=https://primeintellectgrowth.com
export PIG_API_KEY=pig_...

Scope the key to read unless the agent genuinely needs to write. An agent acting for you is a separate principal from you: it has its own audit trail and can be revoked without disturbing your session, and it can never reach further than you can.

CLI

The pig CLI is the HTTP API surface for scripts and Prime Agent kernels. It never receives database credentials and has no arbitrary-request, shell, or filesystem command. Configure it separately from the MCP process:

export PIG_API_URL=https://primeintellectgrowth.com
export PIG_API_KEY=pig_...

npm run pig -- me
npm run pig -- --json capacity idle --threshold 0.2
npm run pig -- --json capacity search --gpu-type H100_80GB --min-gpu-count 8

--api-url and --api-key override the environment for one invocation. In --json mode success writes one JSON value to stdout, while failures write one JSON error to stderr and exit non-zero. The key is sent only as a bearer token and is redacted if an upstream error happens to echo it.

The tools

Tool What it answers
pig_whoami Who am I acting for, and which teams am I on?
pig_my_pipeline Where are we? What needs attention?
pig_capacity_match What have we bought that would serve this customer?
pig_margin_report What is each block earning against what it cost?
pig_idle_capacity What are we paying for and not selling?
pig_inventory_search What could we buy to cover demand we cannot serve?
pig_search Find an account
pig_get_account Everything about one account
pig_log_activity Record a call, meeting or note

pig_capacity_match is the one worth learning. Ask it in plain language:

"A customer wants 128 H100s with InfiniBand for three months, ceiling $2.80 per GPU-hour. What have we got?"

It returns ranked matches, preferring blocks that are sitting idle — those hours are already paid for — and warns explicitly when a match would sell below break-even.

Why the surface is small

Nine tools, each doing one thing. A sprawling tool list measurably degrades model performance, and anything genuinely niche is reachable through pig_search or the HTTP API. If you need something that is not here, it is probably better added as a service method than as a tenth tool.

What it cannot do

The MCP server holds an API key and calls the same HTTP API a browser does. It has no database credentials and no privileged path. There is deliberately no tool that provisions infrastructure, spends money, or emails a customer.
