Quick Start
Option A: Inspect mode (no payment needed)
Just run it — any 402 responses will return human-readable payment instructions:
npx @x402-api/mcp-server
Claude will tell you what's needed when a tool requires payment.
Option B: Auto-pay mode (fully autonomous)
Install optional payment deps and set your wallet key:
npm install -g @x402-api/mcp-server
npm install -g x402-fetch viem
export X402_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY=0x<your_private_key>
x402-api-mcp
The server will auto-pay 402 responses using USDC on Base. Make sure your wallet has USDC on Base mainnet.
Claude Desktop Integration
Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:
Without auto-pay (inspect mode)
{
"mcpServers": {
"x402-api": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@x402-api/mcp-server"]
}
}
}
With auto-pay
{
"mcpServers": {
"x402-api": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@x402-api/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"X402_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY": "0x<your_private_key>"
}
}
}
}
Config file location:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows:

Environment Variables
| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
X402_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY |
Optional | Private key for auto-pay (e.g. 0x...). If set, x402-fetch handles payments automatically. |

How x402 Payments Work
This API uses the x402 protocol — HTTP 402 Payment Required:
- Agent calls tool → MCP server makes API request
- Server returns 402 with payment details (amount, USDC address, Base network)
- Auto-pay mode: x402-fetch signs and submits payment, retries request automatically
- Manual mode: MCP returns 402 details so user/agent can arrange payment
Payment details:
- Token: USDC on Base mainnet
- Address:
0x60264c480b67adb557efEd22Cf0e7ceA792DefB7 - Chain: Base (chain ID 8453)
- Amount: 0.001–0.008 USDC per call (< 1 cent USD)
