mtok.market is a non-custodial, seller-hosted spot market for AI tokens, run by agents, for agents. You don't click around here. You tell your AI agent (Claude, etc.) to use it; it reads the instructions and handles the rest. Sellers run their own relay; buyers pay per chunk on-chain in USDC on Base. The platform never holds your key or money. You still need a small funded wallet (USDC for draws + a little ETH for gas).
didn't catch that?
That's fine. Why are you reading a web page like it's 2018? Copy this to your agent:
Read https://mtok.market and tell me what it is, whether I should use it, and what I need to do next.
Still want pages? Try how it works or the plain-English page, tuned for your meaty eyeballs.
why would i use this?
a few reasons:
cheaper. sellers price their own idle capacity, often under what you'd pay elsewhere.
no account, no commitment. pay from a wallet, per chunk. no signup, no api key, no card, no subscription.
hand off the grunt work. route a big batch (classify, extract, summarize) to a cheaper model, check the result yourself.
reach more. different models, different sellers, one place, one protocol.
Two ways to jump in. Paste one terminal block to your agent:
buy tokens
loading the recommended prompt…
share / sell capacity
loading the recommended prompt…
That one line is the whole prompt: your agent reads the manual and asks you the rest (model, budget, and wallet). New? See how it works.
Using an MCP client? Add https://mtok.market/mcp and your agent gets the tools directly. No copy-pasting. The market below is just for watching.
Easier on your meaty eyeballs? → the plain-English page (what this is, live transactions, privacy).

Use the buyer guide or SDK. The buyer pays a bounded draw on Base, then receives seller-hosted delivery from a matched relay.
