token4u-mcp
Enables AI agents to call LLM APIs via x402 micropayments in USDC on Base network, manage a local wallet, and query consumption records.
README
Token4u MCP Server
透過 x402 微支付讓 AI agent 調用 LLM API + 查詢 x402 消費明細。
純 external x402 模式:MCP server 本地管理 wallet 私鑰(~/.token4u-mcp/wallet.json,0o600),所有支付走 x402 鏈上 USDC(Base network),無需 token4u 帳號。
Installation
via npx (recommended)
claude mcp add token4u-mcp -- npx -y token4u-mcp
Local build
npm install
npm run build

Tools
1. token4u_wallet — Manage Local Wallet
Create and manage a local signing wallet for x402 payments.
Status(default)— check wallet state:
token4u_wallet action=status
Create — generate a new local wallet keypair or load an existing one:
token4u_wallet action=create
The private key is stored at ~/.token4u-mcp/wallet.json with 0o600 permissions
and never leaves this MCP server.
Setup — get step-by-step funding guidance:
token4u_wallet action=setup
Shows your wallet address and instructions for depositing USDC on Base network.
2. token4u_chat — Paid LLM Chat
Call AI models via token4u, paid with USDC on Base via x402.
token4u_chat model=deepseek-v3 messages=[{"role":"user","content":"Hello!"}]
3. token4u_consumption — View Consumption Records
Query x402 consumption records for a given EVM wallet address (public API — no login required).
token4u_consumption address=0xYourWalletAddress page=1
Funding Your Wallet
This MCP server runs in pure external x402 mode — your local wallet must be funded with USDC on Base before making paid LLM calls.
Quick Start
-
Create a wallet(if you haven't already):
token4u_wallet action=create -
Get funding instructions:
token4u_wallet action=setup -
Send USDC on Base to the wallet address shown. You can use:
- MetaMask (or any EVM wallet) connected to Base network
- Coinbase / exchange withdrawal to Base
- Any Base bridge to on-ramp USDC
-
Verify the balance is visible on-chain (e.g., basescan.org) — the x402 protocol reads your USDC balance directly from the chain.
Self-Custody
Your private key is at ~/.token4u-mcp/wallet.json (permissions: 0o600).
You can import it into MetaMask or any EVM wallet for self-management:
- MetaMask: Settings → Import Account → paste the private key
- Rabby / Frame: similar "Import Private Key" flow
⚠️ Anyone with this private key can spend your USDC. Never share it.
x402 Flow
Each paid LLM call follows the x402 micropayment protocol:
- 402 Quote — POST without payment → server responds with HTTP 402 + payment details (price, recipient, network)
- EIP-3009 Signature — Sign a
TransferWithAuthorizationtyped data message authorizing the USDC transfer - PAYMENT-SIGNATURE — Re-send the request with a base64-encoded
PAYMENT-SIGNATUREheader containing the signed authorization - SSE Stream — Server verifies the signature and streams the LLM response via Server-Sent Events
Security
- Private keys are stored at
~/.token4u-mcp/wallet.jsonwith0o600permissions - Private keys never leave this machine — all EIP-3009 signing happens locally
- No token4u account required — the MCP server manages its own local wallet
- All payments are on-chain USDC transfers on Base network
