x402-agent-mcp

Universal x402 MCP for AI agents — discover and pay for any x402 endpoint on Base or Solana.

Agents discover services, pay per call in USDC, and consume data — all autonomously. No API keys, no subscriptions, no signup. Just a wallet.

What It Does

Agent: "I need news data"
  → x402_search("news") → finds 2s.io
  → x402_describe("2s.io") → gets endpoint schema + price
  → x402_fetch("https://2s.io/api/news/search?q=x402&limit=3") → pays $0.003 USDC → gets results

The agent never sees wallets, private keys, or x402 protocol details. Just search, discover, fetch.

PAYMENT_LOG_PATH

./x402-payments.jsonl

Path to payment log file (gitignored)

Payments are logged to x402-payments.jsonl with timestamp, URL, chain, amount, tx hash, and status. Daily spend resets at UTC midnight.

Quick Start

1. Install

git clone https://github.com/dchu3/x402-agent-mcp.git
cd x402-agent-mcp
npm install
npm run build

2. Configure

# .env
SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY=your-base58-solana-key
EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=your-hex-base-key
SOLANA_RPC_URL=https://mainnet.helius-rpc.com/?api-key=your-key
BASE_RPC_URL=https://mainnet.base.org
MAX_PAYMENT_PER_CALL=0.50
MAX_DAILY_SPEND=10.00

You only need the key for chains you want to pay on. Solana-only? Just set SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY.

3. Connect to Your Agent

Hermes Agent

hermes config set mcp_servers.x402.command "node"
hermes config set mcp_servers.x402.args '["/path/to/x402-agent-mcp/dist/index.js"]'

Usage Examples

Search for endpoints

x402_search({ query: "news" })
x402_search({ category: "social" })
x402_search({ chain: "solana" })

Discover a service by URL

x402_discover_url({ url: "https://svm402.com" })

Batch discover multiple URLs

x402_discover_urls({ urls: ["https://svm402.com", "https://2s.io"] })

Crawl x402scan for new services

x402_crawl_directory({ max_results: 20 })

Check if a service is live

x402_health({ name: "svm402" })
x402_health({ url: "https://svm402.com" })

Fetch an x402 endpoint

x402_fetch({
  url: "https://svm402.com/analyze",
  method: "POST",
  body: '{"address": "DezXAZ8z7PnrnRJjz3wXBoRgixCa6xjnB7YaB1pPB263"}'
})
x402_fetch({
  url: "https://2s.io/api/news/search?q=x402&limit=3",
  chain: "solana"
})

Endpoint Directory

The endpoints.json file contains known x402 endpoints. It is gitignored — each installation builds its own directory.

  • endpoints.example.json is shipped as a template (empty, with categories)

  • On first run, the MCP loads the template and populates from there

  • x402_discover_url auto-adds new services when discovered

  • x402_crawl_directory scrapes x402scan.com for new services

  • Only true x402 endpoints (no API keys) are included

To bootstrap a fresh install:

cp endpoints.example.json endpoints.json
# Then run x402_crawl_directory to populate

Automated Directory Refresh

The endpoint directory stays fresh by running x402_crawl_directory on a schedule. Here's how to set it up in popular agent frameworks:

Hermes Agent (cron job)

Hermes supports scheduled cron jobs that can run the crawler automatically:

# Create a weekly cron job (every Monday at 03:00 UTC)
hermes cron create \
  --name "x402 Crawl Directory" \
  --schedule "0 3 * * 1" \
  --toolsets terminal \
  --deliver local \
  --prompt 'Run the x402-agent-mcp crawler to discover new endpoints from x402scan.com:

cd /path/to/x402-agent-mcp && echo "{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"id\":1,\"method\":\"initialize\",\"params\":{\"protocolVersion\":\"2024-11-05\",\"capabilities\":{},\"clientInfo\":{\"name\":\"hermes-cron\",\"version\":\"1.0\"}}}
{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"method\":\"notifications/initialized\"}
{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"id\":2,\"method\":\"tools/call\",\"params\":{\"name\":\"x402_crawl_directory\",\"arguments\":{\"max_results\":20}}}" | timeout 120 node dist/index.js 2>/dev/null | tail -1

Parse the JSON response and report how many new services were added. If none found, say "No new x402 endpoints discovered this week."'

The --deliver local flag keeps the cron job silent (no chat messages) — it just updates endpoints.json in the background.

Other Agents (crontab)

For agents without built-in scheduling, use system crontab:

# Add to crontab — runs every Monday at 03:00
crontab -e

# Add this line:
0 3 * * 1 cd /path/to/x402-agent-mcp && echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"cron","version":"1.0"}}}
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"notifications/initialized"}
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"x402_crawl_directory","arguments":{"max_results":20}}}' | timeout 120 node dist/index.js >> /var/log/x402-crawl.log 2>&1

Custom Scripts

The crawler can also be called programmatically:

import { registerCrawlX402ScanTool } from "./tools/crawl-directory.js";
// Or call the MCP via stdio — see usage examples above
