MCP access bills hosted Chain Insights Graph work by execution time. ACP exposes fixed workflow execution prices for agent-to-agent commerce on Virtuals Protocol.
Every IP gets a daily hosted graph allowance, and the open-source package plus local devkit with bundled Bittensor data cost nothing.
Use Chain Insights Graph from Codex, Claude Code, Hermes, or your own MCP-capable agent. Hosted graph calls continue at 0.01 USDC/sec after the included daily allowance.
ACP jobs are priced per Chain Insights workflow so autonomous agents can request investigation work with a clear execution cost.
Current prices are intentionally low while Chain Insights is early. MCP is billed by actual Graph execution time, while ACP workflows use fixed prices derived from benchmarked investigation runs.
The base MCP surface is a generic read-only Graph query. The open-source cia package builds named investigation tools and reusable queries on top of that foundation. Simple reads and deeper custom investigations can therefore have different costs because they run for different amounts of time.
