README
gate402-mcp
MCP server for Gate402 — pay-per-call agent APIs over HTTP 402 (x402 / USDC on Base). Gives any MCP client four tools with no signup and a free tier on first runs:
| Tool | What it does | Price |
|---|---|---|
gate402_scrape |
Fetch any public URL, render JS, strip nav/ads → clean LLM-ready Markdown | $0.002 |
gate402_scrape_stealth |
Hardened headless fetch for JS-heavy / bot-protected pages | $0.05 |
gate402_minify |
Compress text to cut downstream LLM token spend (~40%) | $0.005 / 10k tok |
gate402_dedup |
Semantic vector-cache lookup (exact + cosine) | $0.001 hit / $0.003 miss |
gate402_onchain |
On-chain wallet/token intel on Base (balances, EOA/contract, tx count, token metadata) | $0.01 |
gate402_dex |
Live DEX price / liquidity / 24h volume for a Base token | $0.01 |
gate402_news |
Recent news headlines + bull/bear sentiment for a ticker/topic | $0.02 |
gate402_edgar |
Latest SEC EDGAR filings (10-K/10-Q/8-K) for a US ticker | $0.02 |
…plus three free tools that run locally in this process (pure compute — no payment, no key, no network):
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
gate402_token_count |
Estimate the token count of a string (budget your context window) |
gate402_html_to_md |
Convert an HTML string you already have into clean Markdown |
gate402_json_repair |
Coerce malformed / LLM-mangled JSON into valid JSON |
How billing works
On first use the server self-claims a free-credit API key from Gate402 and caches it at ~/.gate402-mcp/key.json. Calls draw down that credit. When it runs out, tools return a top-up link instead of failing. To skip the free tier, set GATE402_API_KEY to a funded account (top up).
The payment is the auth — there are no accounts to create.
Install
npm install -g gate402-mcp
Or run without installing via npx gate402-mcp.
