agent-identityLABSCO SUMMARY
The library tools return instructions instead of running code for you.
That change in 4.6.0 is the honest design here: rather than executing on a remote server on your behalf, the mesh and identity tools tell you how to install and run the library on your own machine. It is more work and less magic, and it means the code that ends up in your agent stack is code you fetched and can inspect.
What it is
A storefront exposed as tools. The Underground Cultural District is a catalogue of 200+ digital products across 20+ shops, including four free local libraries — agent-mesh-relay, agent-identity-kit, jade-utilities and first-dollar — and developer utilities such as hash generation, JWT and regex tools.
What you get
- The catalogue browsed and searched —
browse-underground,search-underground - Developer utilities that need no purchase — UUIDs, JSON formatting, Base64, hashes, passwords, JWT decoding, timestamps, regex, cron, ETH units, wallet validation and URL encoding (
generate-uuid…encode-url) - The purchase or delivery link for a product: free items come back as a delivery URL, paid ones as a card-payment endpoint —
buy-from-underground - Install instructions for the local libraries, returned rather than executed remotely: from version 4.6.0 these tools hand back tarball download instructions so the library runs on your machine —
agent-mesh,agent-identity - 19 tools in the server's code, including oddities like
pet-rock-lobster
Requirements
Node.js and npm: npm install @underground-cultural-district/mcp-server, which provides the underground-mcp command; the package is at 4.6.0. It is also listed on Smithery and Glama under "Underground Cultural District". Browsing and free content need no account; purchases go through the store's own flow. The two library tools expect you to download their tarballs from https://substratesymposium.com/tools/ and run them locally.
Setup effort
One command — npm install @underground-cultural-district/mcp-server
USE CASES
Finding a small utility without leaving the assistant
Search the catalogue for the kind of tool you need and read what each shop offers, instead of opening a storefront in a browser.
Trying the free libraries first
Pull the install instructions for the free mesh and identity libraries before spending anything.
Getting a product once you have picked it
Ask for its link: a free item comes back as a delivery URL, a paid one as a card-payment endpoint.
