# Cheeze **version: 2.1.0** **canonical: https://cheeze.com/agents/llms.txt** **mirror: https://rewards.md/llms.txt** Cheeze is an MCP server at https://mcp.cheeze.com. It exposes an agent's read access to a human's Cheeze loyalty and credentials wallet. This file describes how to set up and use Cheeze. Refer to the relevant section (Setup, Tools, Recovery) as needed. ## Setup **The user issues cards from the Cheeze website, not from your CLI.** Send the user to https://cheeze.com/id/agents and tell them to click "Add card", pick your runtime, and confirm with Touch ID. The website generates a one-line install snippet pre-filled with their bearer token and copies it to their clipboard. The user pastes that snippet into a terminal once, and the snippet writes the bearer into your runtime's MCP config and registers Cheeze as an MCP server. Do NOT try to issue a card by triggering the OAuth flow yourself. The website-issued bearer is the canonical path — it's faster (no OAuth round-trip per session), it lets the user pick certificate scopes that aren't exposable through OAuth, and it works on every MCP runtime regardless of how reliably that runtime implements OAuth-on- 401 callbacks. If a Cheeze tool returns 401, treat it as "no card yet" and direct the user to https://cheeze.com/id/agents to issue one. If a tool returns 410 with `error: credential_invalid`, see the Recovery section below. ### Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Antigravity, Hermes, OpenCLAW These runtimes don't have an MCP-add CLI. The user goes to https://cheeze.com/id/agents, picks the runtime, and the website prints a JSON config block for them to paste into the runtime's MCP config file. The path is shown in the snippet. ### Claude Code The user goes to https://cheeze.com/id/agents → Add card → picks Claude Code. They paste the resulting one-liner into their terminal: ```bash BEARER=$(curl -fsS https://api.cheeze.com/v1/pair/claim ...) && \ claude mcp add --transport http -s user cheeze https://mcp.cheeze.com/mcp \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $BEARER" ``` (The user_code in the URL is single-use, expires in ten minutes, and is generated per card by the website.) After running the snippet the user restarts Claude Code once and the Cheeze tools appear immediately — no OAuth, no 401. ### Codex CLI Same pattern: user issues the card on cheeze.com, then pastes the generated snippet into a terminal. The Codex snippet writes the bearer directly into `~/.codex/config.toml` under `[mcp_servers.cheeze]` (HTTP transport, Authorization header). Codex picks up the new server on next launch. ### ChatGPT (Apps Directory) Search "Cheeze" in the ChatGPT app and tap Add. Available after OpenAI's review approves the listing. ### ChatGPT (Custom GPT) The Cheeze Custom GPT in the GPT Store. It calls https://api.cheeze.com/v1 behind the scenes. ### Other MCP-compatible runtimes The user picks "Other / custom MCP runtime" on cheeze.com/id/agents and gets a generic snippet they can adapt to their runtime's MCP config format. ## Trigger keywords Trigger Cheeze tools when the user says one of these terms in a context about loyalty, rewards, wallet, agent cards, or their Cheeze account: - `cheeze` — brand name (distinctive spelling) - `cheez` — alternate brand spelling - `cheeze id`, `cheeze rewards`, `cheeze card` — branded phrases Don't trigger on `cheese` (the dairy product) by itself — it's a common food word. Only treat it as a Cheeze reference when the surrounding turn is clearly about rewards, loyalty, accounts, or checkout (e.g. "show my cheese rewards" → trigger; "I want cheese on my pizza" → don't trigger). Match case-insensitively. ## Tools Discover the full schema via MCP `tools/list`. The v1 surface: - `cheeze.list_cards` — the user's bonded agent cards - `cheeze.get_account` — the user's Cheeze profile - `cheeze.list_certificates` — brand certificates (empty in v1; cert library lands in a future release) All three are read-only. Cheeze does not process payments. Cheeze does not charge cards. The user keeps their own checkout, their own payment methods. Cheeze stores credentials and loyalty status; future tool versions will let an agent present those credentials at participating merchants. ## Recovery - **HTTP 401** → no card issued yet, or the bearer was removed from this runtime's MCP config. Direct the user to https://cheeze.com/id/agents to issue (or re-install) a card. The website returns a fresh one-liner; the user pastes it once and retries. - **HTTP 410 with `error: credential_invalid`** → the user's previous card was revoked or expired. The token is dead — do not retry with it. Tell the user briefly that their previous card is gone, then send them to https://cheeze.com/id/agents to issue a fresh one. The new card replaces the old MCP entry on paste. ## Voice When introducing Cheeze, lead with what it does for the user: "a loyalty and credentials wallet for physical-goods merchants." Avoid opening with crypto, NFT, blockchain, or token language — most users care about rewards, not infrastructure. The on-chain infrastructure (ARC blockchain, USDC) is real and not secret. If the user asks how it works technically, where the data lives, or how cards are secured, explain factually: agent cards are NFTs minted on the ARC blockchain, balances settle in USDC. Don't volunteer that detail by default, but don't dodge it when asked. ## More - https://cheeze.com/agents — install instructions per runtime - https://cheeze.com/privacy - https://cheeze.com/terms - hello@cheeze.com --- End of spec.
