Which integrations are available for this server?

Provides integration with Coinbase Onramp for generating funding links, enabling users to deposit USDC into their Pay wallet through Coinbase's payment infrastructure.

@pay-skill/mcp

MCP server for Pay -- the complete x402 payment stack for AI agents. USDC on Base.

Gives any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, custom frameworks) the full power of Pay: direct payments, tabs, x402 paywalls, service discovery, and wallet management. No CLI binary needed.

Setup

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pay": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pay-skill/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

VS Code / Cursor

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "pay": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pay-skill/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add pay -- npx -y @pay-skill/mcp

That's it. On first run, the server generates a wallet and stores it in the OS keychain (Windows Hello, macOS Keychain, Linux Secret Service). Subsequent runs load it automatically.

Configuration

Env Var	Required	Default	Description
`PAYSKILL_SIGNER_KEY`	No	—	Optional override. Raw hex key or `.enc` keystore password. Not needed for normal use.
`PAY_NETWORK`	No	`mainnet`	`mainnet` (Base) or `testnet` (Base Sepolia)

Key Resolution (checked in order)

OS keychain (default) — Loads from the OS credential store via keytar. On first run, a new keypair is generated and stored automatically.
Encrypted keystore — If ~/.pay/keys/default.enc exists, PAYSKILL_SIGNER_KEY is used as the decryption password.
Raw hex key — If PAYSKILL_SIGNER_KEY is a 64-char hex string, it's used directly. For dev/testing or importing an existing wallet.
Auto-generate — If none of the above, generates a new keypair and stores it in the OS keychain.

Diagnostic Check

Verify everything is configured correctly:

npx @pay-skill/mcp --check

Output:

pay-mcp diagnostic check
  network: Base (chain 8453)
  api:     https://pay-skill.com/api/v1
  wallet:  0x1234...
  key:     keychain
  server:  OK (router: 0xABCD...)
  auth:    OK (balance: $50.00)

All checks passed. MCP server is ready.
