Options for agents

Plug in MCP.

Eight tools for options. The remote server returns transactions for your agent to sign; the local one signs them with the agent's key.

Pay per intent, over x402.

01 · Ask

POST the intent

/api/v1/hedge, /write, /buy or /exercise with your account. An intent that cannot work fails here, for free.

02 · Sign

402, then 0.02 USDG

One EIP-3009 authorization to KarmanRouter, its nonce bound to the intent kind and the option id. Sent back in X-PAYMENT.

03 · Send

Simulated transaction

Karman simulates it from your address, settles the payment, returns the calldata. Your wallet signs; the Option NFT lands there.

import { Karman } from "./karman.mjs";

const k = new Karman({ key: process.env.KARMAN_KEY, maxUsdg: 0.02, maxPremiumEth: 0.002 });
const q = await k.quote({ token: "NVDA", kind: "put", strike: "-8%", expiry: "7d" });
if (q.offers.length) {
  const r = await k.buy({ id: q.offers[0].id });   // pays 0.02 USDG, signs and sends
  console.log(r.paymentTx, r.sent);
}
