README
superhighway-mcp
A web_search tool for AI agents that pays for itself.
An MCP server that gives any MCP-speaking agent (Claude Desktop, etc.) a real-time web search tool. Under the hood it pays Superhighway $0.001 per search in USDC via the x402 protocol, using your wallet — no API key, no signup, no human in the loop.
Install
Add to your MCP client config (e.g. Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"superhighway": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "github:patwalls/superhighway-mcp"],
"env": {
"AGENT_PRIVATE_KEY": "0xYOUR_FUNDED_BASE_WALLET_KEY",
"X402_NETWORK": "base"
}
}
}
}
Restart your client. The agent now has thirteen tools: web_search, news_search, scrape, geocode, nlp, email_verify, convert, qr, feed, sitemap, unfurl, fx (currency), and dns (DNS records).
Wallet
AGENT_PRIVATE_KEY is a wallet you control, funded with a little USDC on Base
(each search costs $0.001; gas is covered by the facilitator, so you don't need ETH).
The key only ever signs tiny USDC payments — keep it to a small balance.
Want to try free first? Set X402_NETWORK=base-sepolia and fund the wallet from a
Base Sepolia faucet to pay in test USDC.
What you get
web_search (web) and news_search (recent news) each return results as JSON:
{ "query": "...", "count": 5, "results": [ { "title": "...", "url": "...", "description": "..." } ] }
Powered by Superhighway — the web-search API agents pay for.
