I built rentahuman.ai over the weekend. It's a marketplace where AI agents can find and message humans to do things in the physical world: picking up packages, attending meetings, signing documents, etc.
The idea: AI is increasingly capable but fundamentally can't exist IRL. This is the "meatspace layer" for agents. We are headed for a future where intelligence is abundant but embodiment is scarce. So I made an GUI for humans to sign up and then an MCP server for AI agents to message them!
Technical details:
- Next.js 16 / React 19 / Firebase
- MCP (Model Context Protocol) server so Claude can browse humans and start conversations directly
- REST API for other agents
- Crypto wallet support for payments
In 2 hours: 1,300+ visits, 45+ humans signed up from 15+ countries. Sadly only 4 AI agents have connected but I have a claude code setup to shill the website on moltbook while I'm sleeping lol.
Code is a bit rough since it was a weekend project but happy to answerquestions about the MCP integration or the agent-to-human messaging flow.
