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

Values you fill in

GATEWARDS_API_KEY secret env
Gatewards agent API key (gw_agent_…). Required for authenticated proxy calls; the server starts without it but cannot reach the gateway.
GATEWARDS_GATEWAY_URL env
Gateway base URL. Defaults to http://localhost:3001; set to https://api.gatewards.com for the hosted gateway.

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

Common questions

Is Gatewards 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: GATEWARDS_API_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 (0.2.0-beta.2) reached the registry 4 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?

@gatewards/mcp-server

An MCP server that lets any agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, or your own MCP client) discover and call paid APIs through Gatewards — with per-agent spend caps, cross-agent dedup, and non-custodial x402 settlement.

The agent keeps its own API key and wallet. Gatewards enforces the spend limit in the request path: a call over budget is refused before it fires, not logged after.

Install

npx @gatewards/mcp-server --api-key=gw_agent_xxx --gateway=https://api.gatewards.com

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

"mcpServers": { "gatewards": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "@gatewards/mcp-server", "--api-key=gw_agent_xxx", "--gateway=https://api.gatewards.com" ] } } }

Get an agent key from your Gatewards dashboard.

Two modes

Mode	How	What you get
Proxy (default)	`--api-key=gw_agent_xxx`	Routes calls through the gateway. Per-agent budget enforcement, response caching, and cross-agent dedup. No wallet, no on-chain payment.
x402 (self-custody)	`--private-key=0x... --rpc-url=... --usdc-address=...`	The agent signs USDC payments itself. When an API returns `402`, payment is settled on-chain and the request retries with a receipt. Keys never leave your machine.

Pick proxy mode for governance and caching. Add x402 only when you actually need to pay per call on-chain.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`gatewards_discover_services`	List paid API services on the marketplace (name, endpoint, price).
`gatewards_call_api`	Make a `GET`/`POST` call. Returns status, data, and cost if a payment was made.
`gatewards_check_budget`	Current daily spend, remaining budget, and active subscriptions.
`gatewards_get_plans`	List prepaid credit plans for a service.
`gatewards_subscribe`	Buy a credit bundle for a service (proxy mode only).

Configuration

Flags or environment variables (flags win):

Flag	Env	Default	Notes
`--gateway`	`GATEWARDS_GATEWAY_URL`	`http://localhost:3001`	Gateway base URL.
`--api-key`	`GATEWARDS_API_KEY`	—	Agent key. Enables proxy mode.
`--private-key`	`GATEWARDS_PRIVATE_KEY`	—	`0x`-prefixed key for x402 mode. Never sent anywhere.
`--rpc-url`	`GATEWARDS_RPC_URL`	—	Required for x402 mode.
`--usdc-address`	`GATEWARDS_USDC_ADDRESS`	—	Required for x402 mode.
`--network`	`GATEWARDS_NETWORK`	`base-sepolia`	e.g. `base`, `base-sepolia`.
`--merchant`	`GATEWARDS_MERCHANT_URL`	—	Restrict absolute URLs to this origin.

Either --api-key or --private-key is required.
