Guarded CLI and MCP client for JustHandled's x402 utility gateway
A guarded CLI, JavaScript client, and local MCP server for the JustHandled Agent Utility Gateway. The package exposes twenty-six deterministic preflights, maintained-data lookups, and evidence products. Twenty-two products cost $0.05 USDC; four evidence-heavy products cost $0.25, including the Agent Distribution Readiness Pack. Every paid call returns a versioned evidence receipt.
The client fails closed before signing. It accepts only the pinned JustHandled gateway, Base mainnet, canonical Base USDC, the exact per-product price, and the published merchant receiver. Customer inputs are not persisted by the gateway.
npx --package @justhandledlabs/agent-client justhandled-agent catalog
npx --package @justhandledlabs/agent-client justhandled-agent preview filename-portability-preflight --json '{"paths":["CON.txt"]}'
npx --package @justhandledlabs/agent-client justhandled-agent preview agent-run-evidence-pack --file agent-run-evidence-pack.sample.json
npx --package @justhandledlabs/agent-client justhandled-agent preview agent-distribution-readiness-pack --file agent-distribution-readiness-pack.sample.json
Preview performs an unpaid request and validates the returned x402 terms. It does not sign or spend.
The catalog includes API-response contract drift, webhook contract and replay, and policy-change evidence products. Packaged example inputs are available in examples/.
Machine-readable products, exact payment terms, and free deterministic fixtures are available from the gateway's product catalog, OpenAPI document, and sandbox index.
Use a dedicated low-balance Base wallet. Never provide a primary wallet key.
export JH_EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=0x...
npx --package @justhandledlabs/agent-client justhandled-agent call filename-portability-preflight --json '{"paths":["CON.txt"]}'
PowerShell:
$env:JH_EVM_PRIVATE_KEY = "0x..."
npx.cmd --package @justhandledlabs/agent-client justhandled-agent call filename-portability-preflight --json '{"paths":["CON.txt"]}'

}
}
}
}
The MCP server exposes a free catalog tool plus one paid tool per gateway utility. Missing wallet configuration produces an error instead of a payment attempt.
The package declares the official MCP Registry identity io.github.justhandledlabs/agent-gateway. Registry identity is discovery metadata only: installing or listing the server does not spend funds, and paid execution still requires a dedicated wallet plus the client's exact-term checks.
npm install
npm run check
The gateway implementation is intentionally not included in this client repository.
