Purpose
This tool is an MCP server plugin for Claude Code designed to route AI compute-heavy workloads through distributed "MVM" nodes. Its stated goal is to reduce token usage and inference costs by leveraging cheaper, renewable energy sources.

Security Assessment
Overall risk: High. The plugin makes outbound network requests to external servers, which raises significant concerns since you are sending your compute tasks and potentially sensitive agent data to a third-party, little-known infrastructure. It also accesses environment variables (`MICA_API_KEY`) and has a warning for file system access. While no hardcoded secrets or dangerous broad permissions were found, the fundamental design requires you to trust an unknown external entity with your AI processing. Additionally, the payment structure relies entirely on cryptocurrency (USDC, ETH, SOL), which is often a red flag for unregulated or unverifiable services.

Quality Assessment
The project appears actively maintained, with its last push occurring today, and it uses a standard MIT license. However, community trust is extremely low; it has only 20 GitHub stars, indicating minimal public scrutiny. The "Compatible CLIs" are marked as unknown, and the documentation suggests users set API keys directly in chat, a practice that is generally discouraged due to local logging risks.

Verdict
Use with extreme caution (high risk due to unverified third-party network routing and low community trust).

What is mica?

LLM inference is expensive. Running agents 24/7 burns tokens and energy. Mica fixes this by routing your compute-heavy tasks through MVM (Mica Virtual Machine) nodes — distributed across regions with the cheapest renewable energy on the planet.

Instead of paying full price for cloud compute at $0.10+/kWh, MVM routes your workloads to nodes running on Nordic hydroelectric ($0.02/kWh), Icelandic geothermal ($0.01/kWh), and Canadian hydro ($0.04/kWh). Same results, ~40% lower cost.

Mica runs as an MCP server plugin for Claude Code. When your agent needs to run inference, batch processing, or long-running tasks, it routes through MVM instead of standard cloud — saving tokens and money automatically.

Install

Claude Code Plugin

/plugin marketplace add nhevers/mica-plugin

Then install:

/plugin install mica

Setup

  1. Get an API key at mica.energy/app
  2. Set your key:
export MICA_API_KEY=mica_your_key_here

Or paste your key in chat and the plugin will prompt you to set it via mica_set_api_key.

Tools

Tool What it does
mica_set_api_key Set your mica API key at runtime
mica_route_compute Route a compute job through MVM nodes
mica_estimate_savings Estimate token and cost savings vs standard cloud
mica_node_status Check MVM node clusters, energy costs, and load
mica_check_job Check the status of a submitted compute job

Example calls

mica_set_api_key({ key: "mica_abc123..." })
mica_route_compute({ task: "batch inference on 10k samples", priority: "normal" })
mica_estimate_savings({ tokens: 50000, model: "claude-3.5-sonnet" })
mica_node_status()
mica_check_job({ job_id: "mvm_abc123" })

Troubleshooting

API key not working
Make sure your subscription is active at mica.energy/app.

Tools not appearing
Rebuild the MCP server:

cd mcp-server && npm run build

Connection errors
Check that MICA_API_KEY is set in your environment and the API is reachable.
