This is for the *agent* integrating Bloodhound, not the human reading the
landing page. If you've reached here from `/v1/tools` or a `/tools` redirect,
you're in the right place.

Bloodhound serves pump.fun + PumpSwap analytics over two transports:

1. **HTTP REST** at `POST https://bloodhound.so/v1/tools/:name` — paid in
   USDC via x402, this is what production agents use.
2. **MCP stdio** — for local development with Claude Desktop / Cursor /
   Claude Code. No paywall (the trust boundary is "you ran it on your own
   laptop").

The same tool registry powers both. Same input schemas, same output shapes.

> **Just want to run something?** Skip to [§5 Recipes](#5-recipes) — three
> drop-in scripts you can `curl` down, point at a Solana keypair file, and
> run. They're the fastest path from "I have a wallet with USDC" to "I have
> an answer from Bloodhound."

## 1. Hello world in 40 lines

Drop this in a file, `npm i x402-fetch bs58`, point it at a standard Solana
keypair (the 64-byte JSON array `solana-keygen` produces — same format as
`~/.config/solana/id.json`). Costs $0.02, takes ~3s.

```js
// hello.mjs — minimal Bloodhound x402 verification.
//     node hello.mjs ~/buyer.json
import fs from 'node:fs';
import bs58 from 'bs58';
import { createSigner, wrapFetchWithPayment } from 'x402-fetch';

const KEYPAIR_PATH = process.argv[2] ?? `${process.env.HOME}/.config/solana/id.json`;

// Solana CLI keypairs are JSON arrays of 64 bytes: [secret(32) || pubkey(32)].
// x402-fetch's createSigner('solana', ...) wants BASE58 of that buffer.
const raw = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(KEYPAIR_PATH, 'utf8'));
const signer = await createSigner('solana', bs58.encode(Uint8Array.from(raw)));
const fetch402 = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, signer, 1_000_000n /* $1 ceiling */);

async function call(tool, args = {}, { paid = true } = {}) {
    const f = paid ? fetch402 : fetch;
    const res = await f(`https://bloodhound.so/v1/tools/${tool}`, {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: { 'content-type': 'application/json' },
        body: JSON.stringify(args),
    });
    const body = await res.json();
    if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${tool} → HTTP ${res.status}: ${JSON.stringify(body)}`);
    return body;   // { tool, ms, result, remaining_calls, from_cache, cache_ttl_sec }
}

const probe = await call('static_addresses', {}, { paid: false });          // free
console.log('ok static_addresses', probe.result.pumpfun.program_id);

const label = await call('wallet_label', { wallet: 'HxjwdF326ZunmUwC1iXhfgL3ku78YsksN6n7Rfxzwr6b' });   // $0.02
console.log('ok wallet_label   ', label.result.label ?? '(none)');
```

That's it. `wrapFetchWithPayment` handles the 402 challenge → sign → retry
flow. You do *not* need to manage the receiver's USDC ATA, fetch a recent
blockhash, or pay SOL gas — CDP's facilitator sponsors gas via its `feePayer`
account. Buyer needs USDC at their ATA, that's all.

## 2. Pricing

Two modes, pick whichever matches your usage shape.

### A. Per-call (default)

Every paid tool charges in USDC. Tier prices:

| Tier  | USDC   | What's typically priced here                         |
|-------|--------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `t02` | $0.02  | single-row constants (`wallet_label`, `token_holder_count`) |
| `t05` | $0.05  | most analytics — single matview / simple agg        |
| `t10` | $0.10  | upstream-cost pass-through (e.g. `get_swap_quote`)  |
| `t15` | $0.15  | multi-row joins, smart-money, clusters, scores      |
| `t25` | $0.25  | variable per-wallet cost AND headline `get_trade_blueprint` |

Free tier: `static_addresses` only. The `get_fee_recipients` tool is `t02` —
the 24 fee recipients (8 normal · 8 reserved · 8 buyback) per pump.fun's
program upgrade.

Each request to a paid endpoint pays once; CDP settle takes ~2.5s end-to-end
(verify + sign + Solana confirm). Concurrent agent calls in a single process
**will collide** because Ed25519 is deterministic — same blockhash + signer +
requirements yields byte-identical tx, Solana dedupes by signature, only one
on-chain settle. For real concurrency, use sessions (below) or run buyer
processes from different IPs / blockhash windows.

### B. Session pass

Buy a quota in bulk; spend with a header.

| Pass     | USDC | Calls | Lifetime | Effective per-call |
|----------|------|-------|----------|---------------------|
| `pass_5` | $5   | 200   | 1 hour   | $0.025              |
| `pass_25`| $25  | 1000  | 24 hours | $0.025              |

```js
// 1) Buy a session — pays $5 USDC via x402, returns a session_id
const buy = await fetch402('https://bloodhound.so/v1/session/buy/pass_5', {
    method: 'POST', headers: { 'content-type': 'application/json' }, body: '{}',
});
const { session_id, calls_remaining, expires_at } = await buy.json();

// 2) Spend it. NO x402 round-trip per call — just one HTTP POST + Postgres DECR.
//    Latency: 30–80ms end-to-end, vs 2–3s for per-call x402.
const r = await fetch('https://bloodhound.so/v1/tools/wallet_overview', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'content-type': 'application/json', 'x-session-id': session_id },
    body: JSON.stringify({ wallet: '...' }),
});
```

Sessions are **bearer tokens** — anyone with the `session_id` can spend it.
Treat it like a short-lived API key. Server tested at **346 RPS** for session
calls; that's the practical concurrency story.

When to choose which:
- **Sniping / discovery loops** — session, low latency wins.
- **Occasional one-shot calls** — per-call, no upfront commitment.
- **Building a hosted product over Bloodhound** — session, charge your users
  on top, your unit economics are predictable.

## 3. Error vocabulary

Bloodhound returns 402 on any auth / billing failure. The body always has
`{ error, ... }`. The `reason` field (when present) tells you *what to do*:

| HTTP | reason         | Where it comes from        | What to do |
|------|----------------|----------------------------|------------|
| 402  | (none)         | x402 challenge — the buyer hasn't paid yet | Sign + retry. `wrapFetchWithPayment` does this automatically. |
| 402  | `unknown`      | session — header is missing / not a UUID / not a session we minted | Buy a fresh session via `POST /v1/session/buy/pass_5`. |
| 402  | `expired`      | session — past `expires_at` | Buy a fresh session. |
| 402  | `exhausted`    | session — `calls_remaining` hit 0 | Buy a fresh session. |
| 402  | `invalid_payload` | x402 facilitator rejected the signed payment (stale blockhash, mismatched amount, malformed tx) | Most often: stale blockhash. Make sure your buyer-side RPC is fresh (use a paid Helius / QuickNode endpoint, not `api.mainnet-beta`). |
| 402  | `insufficient_funds` | buyer's USDC ATA balance below price | Top up the buyer wallet. |
| 400  | `invalid input` | Zod schema rejection on tool args | Check the tool's input schema in `/v1/tools` (or MCP `tools/list`). |
| 404  | `unknown tool` | wrong tool name in URL | Check `/v1/tools` for the catalog. |
| 500  | `tool failed`  | DB hiccup or genuine bug | Retry once. If it persists, contact us. |

`200 OK` always carries the same envelope:

```json
{
  "tool": "wallet_overview",
  "ms": 47,
  "result": { /* the actual data */ },
  "remaining_calls": 196,    // null if paid per-call; integer if session
  "from_cache": true,        // is this an in-process TTL cache hit?
  "cache_ttl_sec": 30        // null if no cache configured
}
```

The `remaining_calls` field on session calls is what you use to decide when
to top up the next pass.

---

## 4. Discovery — what tools exist

`GET https://bloodhound.so/v1/tools` returns the full catalog (free, no auth):

```json
{
  "count": 68,
  "network": "solana",
  "receiver": "HTvdg5d34iCrzVf1PwMi42GSkS53Z5L384F2gyVTXjY3",
  "tools": [
    { "name": "get_trade_blueprint", "code": "X3", "description": "...", "tier": "t25", "price": "$0.25", "output_example": { /* … */ } },
    ...
  ],
  "sessions": [
    { "tier": "pass_5", "price": "$5.00", "calls": 200, "duration": "1 hour", "label": "$5 = 200 calls / 1 hour" },
    ...
  ]
}
```

For a structured manifest (transports, facilitator, pricing, error vocabulary,
recipes), hit **`GET https://bloodhound.so/v1/agents/quickstart`** — designed
to be self-describing enough that an LLM-driven client can wire itself up by
parsing this one response.

If you're on MCP stdio, `tools/list` already gives you `inputSchema` per tool
in the standard MCP shape.

**Convenience redirects** (so naive agents don't waste turns fetching the React SPA):
- `GET /tools`  → `/v1/tools`
- `GET /docs`   → `/AGENTS.md`
- `GET /agents` → `/AGENTS.md`

---

## 5. Recipes

**Three drop-in scripts.** Each is a single `.mjs` file with no shared local
imports — `curl` it down, install two deps, run with your keypair path. Use
these directly, or read them as templates and write your own.

| File | Cost | Runtime | Answers |
|---|---|---|---|
| [`/examples/hello.mjs`](https://bloodhound.so/examples/hello.mjs) | $0.02 | ~3s | Is my signer + x402 wiring correct? |
| [`/examples/find_snipe_targets.mjs`](https://bloodhound.so/examples/find_snipe_targets.mjs) | ~$2.05 | ~30s | Which 3 of the 50 currently-trending mints aren't garbage? |
| [`/examples/find_copytrade_wallet.mjs`](https://bloodhound.so/examples/find_copytrade_wallet.mjs) | $5 (pass_5) | ~10s | Which wallets have ≥100 SOL realized PnL + ≥55% win rate + ≥10 green days out of 14? |

```bash
curl -O https://bloodhound.so/examples/find_snipe_targets.mjs
npm i x402-fetch bs58
node find_snipe_targets.mjs ~/buyer.json
```

### A. Snipe a hot launch — `get_trade_blueprint`

The headline integration. One blueprint call resolves every fact your SDK
needs to encode the buy, including a cached recent blockhash:

```js
// Find a target.
const trending = (await call('trending_tokens', {})).result;

// One call → all per-mint facts (saves 4 sequential RPCs).
const bp = (await call('get_trade_blueprint', {
    mint: trending.tokens[0].mint,
    side: 'buy',
    wallet: myWallet.publicKey.toBase58(),
})).result;

// Hand to @pump-fun/pump-sdk — zero glue.
import { PumpSdk } from '@pump-fun/pump-sdk';
import { PublicKey } from '@solana/web3.js';
import BN from 'bn.js';

const sdk = new PumpSdk();
const ix = await sdk.getBuyInstructionRaw({
    user:                new PublicKey(bp.user),
    mint:                new PublicKey(bp.mint),
    creator:             new PublicKey(bp.creator),
    tokenProgram:        new PublicKey(bp.token_program),
    feeRecipient:        new PublicKey(bp.fee_recipient),
    buybackFeeRecipient: new PublicKey(bp.buyback_fee_recipient),
    amount:              new BN(expectedTokens),
    solAmount:           new BN(1_000_000),
});

// Wrap, sign, send — using bp.recent_blockhash (no extra RPC).
const tx = new VersionedTransaction(new TransactionMessage({
    payerKey: myWallet.publicKey,
    recentBlockhash: bp.recent_blockhash,
    instructions: [ix],
}).compileToV0Message());
tx.sign([myWallet]);
await connection.sendRawTransaction(tx.serialize());
```

`get_trade_blueprint` automatically routes between bonding curve and PumpSwap
pool via `bp.venue` — your code stays the same on either side of graduation.

### B. Score the trending feed — see [`find_snipe_targets.mjs`](https://bloodhound.so/examples/find_snipe_targets.mjs)

> 50 hot mints in, top 3 with rug-risk / sniper-concentration / curve-progress
> scores out, $2 and 30s. Pair with recipe (A) when one survives the filter
> and you actually want to fire.

### C. Find a wallet to copytrade — see [`find_copytrade_wallet.mjs`](https://bloodhound.so/examples/find_copytrade_wallet.mjs)

> Buys a `pass_5`, fans out 20+ tool calls in parallel, prints the wallets
> with realized PnL ≥100 SOL, win rate ≥55%, and 10/14 green days. ~$5, ~10s,
> what would otherwise be 3-5 days of Solscan + CSV grind.

### D. Streaming-style polling (today's "stream")

Until window-billed streaming subscriptions ship in v2, polling on a session
is the cheapest path:

```js
// Buy one pass_25 ($25 / 1000 calls / 24h)
const session = await buyPass('pass_25');

// Poll every 2s — 24h × 1800 polls = sustainable on a single pass
setInterval(async () => {
    const r = await callWithSession(session.id, 'trending_tokens', {});
    if (r.remaining_calls < 50) topUpNewSession();
    process(r.result);
}, 2_000);
```

---

## 6. Quick troubleshooting

**"Failed to verify payment: invalid_payload"** when calling per-call paid endpoints —
your buyer-side RPC served a stale blockhash. Pass `svmConfig.rpcUrl` to
`wrapFetchWithPayment` pointing at a paid Helius/QuickNode/Triton URL.
The default `api.mainnet-beta.solana.com` rate-limits aggressively.

**Concurrent paid calls all return the same tx hash** — Ed25519 deterministic
signing collision. Within a single buyer process, paid x402 is effectively
serial. Use sessions for concurrency, or stagger calls by ~1s so each gets a
fresh blockhash window.

**Session call returns 402 unknown but I just bought it** — you might be
sending the session_id in the wrong header. It's `X-Session-Id` (case-
insensitive, but spelling matters). Check with:
`curl -H "x-session-id: $SID" https://bloodhound.so/v1/tools/static_addresses`

**Buyer's tx never confirms** — verify the buyer's USDC ATA has been created
(send any USDC to the buyer pubkey first; Phantom auto-creates the ATA on
receive). The `transferChecked` instruction will fail without it.

**Got HTML when I fetched `/tools`** — old guides used to reach the React SPA.
The current server 308-redirects `/tools` → `/v1/tools`, `/docs` →
`/AGENTS.md`, `/agents` → `/AGENTS.md`. If you still see HTML, your client is
not following redirects (`curl -L`, `fetch` follows by default).

---

## 7. Operational endpoints

All free, no auth, CORS-open. Useful for monitoring + debugging:

| Endpoint | Returns |
|---|---|
| `GET /healthz` | `{ ok, db: { ok, ms } }` |
| `GET /v1/tools` | full catalog with prices + output examples |
| `GET /v1/agents/quickstart` | structured integration manifest |
| `GET /v1/public/stats` | live indexer stats (launches/5m, trades/today, lifetime events) |
| `GET /examples/` | runnable example scripts (see §5) |

**Receiver wallet:** the address that receives your USDC. Visible in the
catalog response. Don't send anything except via the x402 flow — direct
transfers won't grant you access.

**Network:** mainnet (`solana`). Devnet support is on the roadmap; for now
test against mainnet with the smallest tier ($0.02).
