Common questions

Is X402 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: X402_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 (1.0.4) 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?

x402-mcp

MCP server bringing hundreds of x402-paid APIs to AI agents (Claude, Cursor, MCP-aware clients). Auto-discovers tools from CDP Bazaar; handles USDC micropayments on Base + Solana.

Features

Auto-discovers x402 endpoints from CDP Bazaar (no hard-coded list)
Reads metadata directly from Bazaar (description, schema, pricing)
Refreshes every 5 min — new endpoints appear without restart
Handles HTTP 402 + USDC payment automatically
Multi-chain: Base + Solana mainnet live (USDC on both); Polygon/BNB/EVM expandable

Install (Claude Desktop)

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

"mcpServers": { "x402-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "x402node-mcp"], "env": { "X402_PRIVATE_KEY": "0xYOUR_BASE_PRIVATE_KEY" } } } }

Set X402_PRIVATE_KEY to a Base EOA private key (hex, 0x-prefixed) with USDC on Base mainnet (Solana payment via SPL USDC also supported). Restart Claude Desktop. The server auto-discovers ~117 tools on first run.

Cost Safety

Each tool call costs $0.0001-$0.10 USDC depending on endpoint
Hard cap: MAX_PRICE_USD env var (default $0.10/call); calls above are blocked
Use a fresh burner wallet, not your main wallet

How it works

Agent calls tool -> HTTP 402 -> x402-fetch signs EIP-3009 -> CDP Facilitator settles on Base or Solana -> response returned. Buyer pays no gas.
