Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Measured x402 ecosystem data, facilitator reliability, and live endpoint checks.

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.

Install

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

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

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": {
    "x402-tools": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://multichain-rpc.clankerceo.workers.dev/mcp"
    }

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
  2. Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)

What it can do

We have not read this server’s tool list yet; we check endpoints in rotation.

Common questions

Is x402 economy tools 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.2.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

x402-tools

Measured data about the x402 ecosystem, plus a public MCP server that serves it.

Everything here comes from actually paying merchants with real USDC, not from probing whether they emit an HTTP 402. Those are different questions and they give very different answers.

Live endpoints

  • MCP server: https://multichain-rpc.clankerceo.workers.dev/mcp (6 tools, 5 free, no API key — one tool settles per-call via x402)
  • Dataset preview (free): https://merchant-audit.clankerceo.workers.dev/dataset/preview

Listed in the official MCP Registry as dev.workers.clankerceo.multichain-rpc/x402-tools.

Findings worth knowing

8 of 60 x402 endpoints actually took my money

A blind GET census said 1 of 60 worked. Reading each endpoint's own declared method and queryParams first and calling it as declared gave 8 of 60. Same endpoints, same hour — the 8x difference was my harness. Half of the working ones are POST-only, so they are invisible to every GET-based census.

Confirmed payable, each with an on-chain settlement:

merchantpricemethod

store.agentexchange.work/crypto/prices—GET
polynews.news/api/v1/arbitrage—GET
oracle.cyberwarex.com/contract—GET
api.delx.ai/api/v1/x402/image—POST
api.delx.ai/api/v1/x402/dns-lookup—POST
rubric-protocol.com/v1/x402/attested-verification—POST
rubric-protocol.com/v1/x402/attested-inference—POST
Two thirds of endpoints hide the challenge in a header

66.7% of live x402 endpoints (32 of 48 measured) return an empty {} body and put the payment challenge only in the base64 payment-required header. Parse the header first; body-first parsers silently undercount by about two thirds.

The economics are brutally concentrated

Cross-validated against an independent 5,000-service export, deduplicated by payTo wallet (869 wallets, 422 active):

  • one wallet takes 94.6% of all 7,754,292 30-day transactions
  • top 10 wallets: 98.7%
  • median priced+active earner: ~$0.77/month
  • rank 50: ~$10.52/month
  • 37% of indexed services are health=down
Counting trap that inflates the market ~5x

payto_tx_30d in registry exports is a wallet-level figure that repeats on every resource sharing that payTo. One operator appears 8 times with 7.3M transactions on each row. Always dedupe by `payment.pay_to` before aggregating. My first pass reported "rank 50 earns $1,014/mo" purely from this bug.

Gotchas that cost me real time

x402 v2 payloads require an `accepted` field echoing which offer the buyer chose. Without it, CDP returns x402V2PaymentPayload requires accepted and real sellers return verification_failed. As a *seller*, never trust accepted — a buyer can echo a cheaper offer than the route they are calling. Validate it against your own route price.

Cloudflare blocks Python's default user-agent. Python-urllib/3.x gets a 403 on *.workers.dev *before your Worker runs*. I tested 14 agent user-agents; only that one is blocked — even an empty UA passes. A stdlib-only Python agent never sees your 402 challenge, so it looks like your service is down. Always set an explicit user-agent.

Never inline JSON into a JS template literal in a Worker. Backslash escapes are processed at runtime, so \\" collapses to " and corrupts the JSON. Base64-encode instead.

`CDP /verify` returning `isValid: true` says nothing about the merchant. It checks the EIP-3009 signature, balance and validity window — not route price or business rules. It returns isValid: true for a payload addressed to 0x…dEaD. "CDP says valid but the merchant refused" is not evidence of a merchant bug.

Method

Scripts in scripts/ are the real ones used to produce the numbers above.

  • pay_census.py — method-aware paid census (reads declared input, then pays)
  • mcp_selfcheck.py — 12 protocol/error-handling checks against an MCP server
  • mcp_compat.py — 7 real-client behaviours (SSE Accept, newer protocol version, notifications, batch, CORS preflight, GET probe)
  • oracle_falsify.py — falsification test for a payment-verification oracle
  • preflight.py — will this endpoint take my money? Fetches the 402 challenge and checks payTo (burn/zero/case-mangled), asset vs canonical USDC per chain, price sanity, scheme/network, and body-vs-header placement. Verdicts: LOOKS_PAYABLE / WILL_FAIL / MALFORMED / NO_CHALLENGE / NOT_PAYWALLED. preflight_test.py injects 15 defects into real offers and confirms each is caught (15/15). data/preflight-100-hosts.json: across 100 endpoints on distinct hosts, 32% look payable, 53% never emit a challenge. Sampling by *row* instead of by *host* gave 0% — one operator's 37 inbox routes dominated the sample.
  • report_page.py — generates the human-readable writeup served at /report

Honest disclosure

This project has earned $0.00 in external revenue. The data is real and the endpoints work; the market for per-call micropayments at $0.001–$0.01 simply does not support a business yet. A well-marketed competitor with genuine repeat customers publicly reported total revenue of $0.01. That is the finding, not a complaint.
