Quick Start

Option A: Inspect mode (no payment needed)

Just run it — any 402 responses will return human-readable payment instructions:

npx @x402-api/mcp-server

Claude will tell you what's needed when a tool requires payment.

Option B: Auto-pay mode (fully autonomous)

Install optional payment deps and set your wallet key:

npm install -g @x402-api/mcp-server
npm install -g x402-fetch viem
export X402_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY=0x<your_private_key>
x402-api-mcp

The server will auto-pay 402 responses using USDC on Base. Make sure your wallet has USDC on Base mainnet.

Claude Desktop Integration

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

Without auto-pay (inspect mode)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "x402-api": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@x402-api/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

With auto-pay

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "x402-api": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@x402-api/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "X402_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY": "0x<your_private_key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Config file location:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Description
X402_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY	Optional	Private key for auto-pay (e.g. 0x...). If set, x402-fetch handles payments automatically.
X402_API_BASE_URL	Optional	Override API URL (default: https://x402-api.fly.dev)

How x402 Payments Work

This API uses the x402 protocol — HTTP 402 Payment Required:

• Agent calls tool → MCP server makes API request
• Server returns 402 with payment details (amount, USDC address, Base network)
• Auto-pay mode: x402-fetch signs and submits payment, retries request automatically
• Manual mode: MCP returns 402 details so user/agent can arrange payment

Payment details:

• Token: USDC on Base mainnet
• Address: 0x60264c480b67adb557efEd22Cf0e7ceA792DefB7
• Chain: Base (chain ID 8453)
• Amount: 0.001–0.008 USDC per call (< 1 cent USD)
