## Agent Instructions

- Non-browser fetches of page URLs on this site return clean Markdown (not the JS UI). Prefer `https://nodedocs.mor.org/llms-full.txt` for the full corpus, or `https://nodedocs.mor.org/llms.txt` for the index.
- Per-page Markdown is also at `<page-url>.md` (homepage: `https://nodedocs.mor.org/index.md`).
- Docs search MCP: `https://nodedocs.mor.org/mcp` (discovery: `https://nodedocs.mor.org/.well-known/mcp`).
- Never invent contract addresses, chain IDs, token addresses, or live bid/model counts. Cite Networks and tokens; link active.mor.org for live data.
- Never claim Morpheus runs inference — independent providers do. Opening a session escrows MOR; it does not spend it.

A **prosumer** sits between a casual consumer (using `app.mor.org` or MorpheusUI) and a full provider. You run your own **C-Node** (consumer-side proxy-router) and you typically host a small **AI gateway** so other tools — Everclaw skills, local agents, automation — can hit Morpheus through a single local endpoint with predictable auth.

## Topology

```

## Why prosumer?

- **One stable endpoint** for all your local agents to point at — no per-tool wallet juggling.
- **Bring your own wallet** with a real budget; agents can't drain it without your permission (see [API auth](/reference/api-auth) per-user whitelists).
- **Mix local + remote** — fall back to the desktop app's local `llama.cpp` demo for free smoke tests; switch to remote Morpheus models for production tasks.
- **TEE on demand** — when an agent needs higher trust, route through a `tee`-tagged model.

## What's on this path

  
- **[C-Node setup](/prosumers/c-node-setup)** — Consumer-side proxy-router with persistent local API.

  
- **[Gateway for Everclaw](/prosumers/gateway-for-everclaw)** — Wire Everclaw / OpenClaw skills to your local C-Node.

  
- **[Running local agents](/prosumers/running-local-agents)** — BasicAuth + per-agent permission whitelists for safe automation.

  
- **[API auth](/reference/api-auth)** — `proxy.conf`, rpcauth/rpcwhitelist, multi-user setup.
