# x402-mcp
MCP server bringing 100+ x402-paid APIs to AI agents (Claude, Cursor, MCP-aware clients). Auto-discovers tools from CDP Bazaar; handles USDC micropayments on Base.
## Features
- Auto-discovers x402 endpoints from CDP Bazaar (no hard-coded list)
- Reads metadata directly from Bazaar (description, schema, pricing)
- Refreshes every 5 min — new endpoints appear without restart
- Handles HTTP 402 + USDC payment automatically
- Multi-chain ready via x402 protocol (Base today; Solana, Polygon, BNB, EVM expansion)
## Install (Claude Desktop)
Add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"x402-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "x402node-mcp"],
"env": { "X402_PRIVATE_KEY": "0xYOUR_BASE_PRIVATE_KEY" }
}
}
}
```
Set `X402_PRIVATE_KEY` to a Base EOA private key (hex, 0x-prefixed) with USDC on Base mainnet. Restart Claude Desktop. The server auto-discovers ~117 tools on first run.
## Cost Safety
- Each tool call costs $0.0001-$0.10 USDC depending on endpoint
- Hard cap: `MAX_PRICE_USD` env var (default $0.10/call); calls above are blocked
- Use a fresh burner wallet, not your main wallet
## How it works
Agent calls tool -> HTTP 402 -> x402-fetch signs EIP-3009 -> CDP Facilitator settles on Base -> response returned. Buyer pays no gas.
## Development
```bash
git clone https://github.com/x402node/x402-mcp
cd x402-mcp
npm install
cp .env.example .env # edit X402_PRIVATE_KEY
node mcp-server.js
```
