# Tape — Extended AI Discovery

## Complete product description
Tape (tapeperp.com) is a free, read-only analytics terminal for Hyperliquid perpetual futures. It displays live markets data, top-wallet positioning, trader leaderboards, and wallet analytics — all derived from the public Hyperliquid L1 API. The site is non-custodial, requires no login or wallet connection, and carries no trading-execution capabilities or financial advisory functions. For AI agents: Tape publishes a machine-readable MCP endpoint (/mcp) and a pay-per-call x402 USDC API for wallet analysis, market signals, and live data feeds.

## MCP tools (JSON-RPC at /mcp)
Tool names are exact and case-sensitive. Every name carries the `tape_` prefix — calling an unprefixed name returns an "Unknown tool" error.
- tape_analytics: Unified bundle — market consensus, pulse, live signals, funding extremes, and the live alert queue. Optional arg `feed="alerts"` narrows it to the alert queue alone.
- tape_live_alerts: The live alert queue on its own (funding extremes, signal fires, consensus flips). Same feed that powers the Telegram channel.
- tape_market_signals: Rules-based long/short setups (funding carry, perp premium dislocation, momentum) plus an overall market consensus.
- tape_market_pulse: Live market metrics — BTC/ETH marks, 24h volume, total open interest, top and most-negative funding, and a market-structure sentiment score.
- tape_whale_prints: Largest recent fills (>= $100k notional) from top Hyperliquid wallets, with net buy/sell flow and the markets receiving the most whale flow.
- tape_markets_radar: Every Hyperliquid perp (230+) ranked by funding rate, funding APR, open interest, 24h volume, and 24h price change. Includes HIP-3 builder-deployed markets.
- tape_leaderboard: Top traders by PnL, ROI, volume, and account value across time windows, from the public Hyperliquid leaderboard feed.
- tape_wallet_analysis: AI risk read of any public Hyperliquid wallet — equity, open positions, leverage, distance-to-liquidation, win rate, and a plain-English summary. Requires arg `address` (0x + 40 hex chars).
- tape_liquidations: Live liquidation feed with 1h/4h/24h totals, long/short split and the largest event; sampled from liquidation counterparties, coverage stated. Args: coins, side, minNotional, since, limit.
- tape_liquidation_heatmap: Observed liquidation price levels for BTC/ETH/SOL/HYPE with realized liquidations and coverage; CONCISE by default. Args: coin, timeframe, response_format.
- tape_treasury_curve: US Treasury par yield curve with implied forwards (1y1y, 2y3y, 5y5y), NY Fed EFFR/SOFR reference rates, upcoming auctions, and a plain-English curve read. Educational only.

Discovery (initialize, tools/list) is free and unauthenticated. Executing a tool (tools/call) requires x402 USDC payment per call — no signup or API key, pay via PAYMENT-SIGNATURE or X-PAYMENT header. An unpaid tools/call answers HTTP 402 (the status x402 client middleware keys on) with a JSON-RPC-shaped body: result.isError is true and result.content[0].text carries the price and the base64 payment challenge, which is also in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED response header. Docs: /mcp (GET returns self-describing schema + live pricing).

## x402 pay-per-call API
Endpoints: https://tapeperp.com/mcp (any tools/call), https://tapeperp.com/api/paid/wallet-analysis, https://tapeperp.com/api/paid/signals, https://tapeperp.com/api/paid/whale-prints, https://tapeperp.com/api/paid/pulse
Payment: tiered $0.002–$0.05 USDC per commodity call; Gemini wallet reads $0.05 (included with Pro); optional Grok $0.10 and Claude $0.15 second-voice reads stay metered (exact price in each 402 challenge; full table at /api/x402 and /api/ai-voices).
Every JSON response carries a `provenance` block: upstream source, request, fetch time and serve time, so any figure can be repeated at the source. List endpoints accept limit, coins and fields; /api/markets adds sort, dir and since (delta polling: only rows that moved, with nextSince as the cursor); /api/leaderboard adds format=concise; /api/whales adds minNotional; /api/signals adds bias; /api/analytics?feed=alerts adds severity. Numbers are rounded to six significant figures (two decimals at or above 10,000). tape_leaderboard and tape_treasury_curve expose MCP Apps views (ui://tape/leaderboard, ui://tape/treasury-curve) for hosts that render them.
Network: Base mainnet (x402 network id "base"); USDC address: 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913.
Resource: JSON report of wallet equity, PnL, positions, and trade history (same as /wallet/* pages).
Facilitator: PayAI (https://facilitator.payai.network) settling Base mainnet USDC. The authoritative facilitator, network and price for any call are always the ones named in that call's own 402 challenge — read them from the challenge rather than hardcoding these.
