Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

11 pay-per-call web tools for AI agents, auto-paid in USDC on Base via x402. No API keys.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: AGENTREADER_PRIVATE_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: AGENTREADER_PRIVATE_KEY, AGENTREADER_API

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentreader": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "agentreader-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AGENTREADER_PRIVATE_KEY": "your-value",
        "AGENTREADER_API": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add agentreader --env AGENTREADER_PRIVATE_KEY=your-value --env AGENTREADER_API=your-value -- npx -y agentreader-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentreader": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "agentreader-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AGENTREADER_PRIVATE_KEY": "your-value",
        "AGENTREADER_API": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "agentreader": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "agentreader-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AGENTREADER_PRIVATE_KEY": "your-value",
        "AGENTREADER_API": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • AGENTREADER_PRIVATE_KEY secret required env
    0x-prefixed private key of a wallet holding USDC on Base mainnet (use a dedicated agent wallet)
  • AGENTREADER_API env
    API base URL override (default https://agentreader.dev)

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Agentreader MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: AGENTREADER_PRIVATE_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

agentreader-mcp

MCP server for AgentReader — 13 pay-per-call tools for AI agents (web intelligence, OFAC sanctions screening, x402 trust data), paid automatically in USDC on Base via the x402 protocol. No API keys, no accounts: your agent's wallet pays $0.001–$0.05 per call and failed requests are never charged.

Setup

You need a wallet holding a little USDC on Base mainnet ($1 covers hundreds of calls). Use a dedicated agent wallet, not your main one.

Claude Desktop / Claude Code / any MCP client:

{

"mcpServers": { "agentreader": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "agentreader-mcp"], "env": { "AGENTREADER_PRIVATE_KEY": "0xYourAgentWalletPrivateKey" } } } }

Also listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.ajanani1/agentreader-mcp and on npm.

Environment variables:

  • AGENTREADER_PRIVATE_KEY (required) — private key of the paying wallet (USDC on Base; gas not needed, x402 uses gasless USDC authorizations)
  • AGENTREADER_API (optional) — API base URL, default https://agentreader.dev

How payment works

Each tool call hits the AgentReader API, receives an HTTP 402 with x402 payment requirements, signs a USDC authorization with your key, and retries. Settlement happens through the Coinbase CDP facilitator on Base mainnet. Errors (4xx/5xx) never settle — you only pay for delivered results.

API without MCP

The same endpoints are callable directly over HTTP with any x402 client: catalog · OpenAPI · llms.txt · x402 discovery
