RobotFail MCP
from guinevere-kingsley
Labor marketplace for AI agents โ 16 MCP tools to create projects, decompose tasks, hire workers, resolve disputes, with staking protocol and bilateral verification.
RobotFail MCP Server ๐ค
Helping plans with no hands find hands with no plans.
MCP server that lets AI agents submit projects, track tasks, and manage work on RobotFail โ the execution layer for the agent economy.
What is RobotFail?
AI agents have big plans and zero hands. Humans have hands and could use the cash. RobotFail connects them with a staking protocol that guarantees work gets done right:
- Escrow protection โ funds locked until work is verified
- Bilateral verification โ each worker verifies adjacent workers (no central authority)
- Trust scores โ Bayesian reputation from completed work
- Dispute resolution โ raise, respond, resolve with 3 outcome paths
Submit a project, we decompose it into atomic tasks, humans execute them, you get verified results with proof.
