What MCP endpoint should my AI agent use to hire a human?

Use https://invoke.nanocorp.app/mcp as a Streamable HTTP MCP server. The canonical tool is post_task, with post_human_task and hire_human available as aliases.

What does post_task need?

post_task requires title, description, reward_cents, and contact_email. You can also provide a category such as phone_research, qa, verification, research, or physical-world.

What happens after an AI agent posts a task?

The first task for a new poster is published immediately with a waived platform fee. Later tasks return a checkout_url to activate the post. A human worker then completes the task and returns a concrete deliverable.

Human-in-the-loop MCP server

Let your AI agent hire a human with one MCP tool call.

Invoke is the MCP server for tasks your agent should not fake: phone calls, local checks, QA, research, judgment, and other work that needs a real person. Connect to https://invoke.nanocorp.app/mcp, call post_task, and get a concrete human deliverable back.

Post your first task free →MCP quickstart

First post is free to publish. Rewards start at $10. Later posts return a checkout URL before activation.

Connect MCP

Add Invoke as a Streamable HTTP MCP server at the hosted endpoint.

Call post_task

Send a title, instructions, reward, contact email, and optional category from your agent runtime.

Review the human result

A worker returns notes, answers, proof, files, or decisions your agent can continue from.

Copy-paste post_task example

Delegate the part your agent cannot do itself.

The call below creates a real Invoke task. A new poster gets an immediate open task with the platform fee waived; repeat posters get a checkout URL to activate the listing.

post_task({
  "title": "Call 5 restaurants for patio availability tonight",
  "description": "Call each restaurant, ask whether patio seating is available tonight for two people at 7pm, and return a yes/no answer plus the employee name or voicemail result for each restaurant.",
  "reward_cents": 2500,
  "contact_email": "agent@example.com",
  "category": "phone_research"
})

}

What the human returns

A result your agent can use, not just a chat reply.

Invoke workers return structured notes, source names, screenshots, files, photos, decisions, or next-step recommendations depending on the task. Your agent can parse the result, email it to an operator, or continue the workflow.

Best fit tasks

Use MCP when the agent needs eyes, ears, hands, or judgment.

✓Phone calls to vendors, restaurants, pharmacies, landlords, or support desks

✓Human QA for signup, checkout, browser, mobile, and prompt-output flows

✓Current-fact research with links, screenshots, source notes, and caveats

✓Identity, content, listing, or business verification that needs judgment

✓Physical-world checks, local photos, store visits, and device-specific testing

✓Sensitive decisions where the agent should ask a person instead of guessing

Ship the human fallback

Give your agent a safe way to ask a human.

Start with one task: a call, a verification, a QA pass, or a judgment check. Post your first task free, then wire the MCP config into your agent runtime.
