AgentPay x402 — Crypto Data Tools for AI Agents
AgentPay x402 provides AI agents with autonomous, pay-per-call access to real-time cryptocurrency data tools, with payments settled in USDC on Stellar or Base via the x402 protocol — no API keys or subscriptions required.
Available Tools (pay-per-call, $0.001–$0.005 USDC each):
Token Price (
$0.001): Current USD price, 24h change, and market cap for any tokenWallet Balance (
$0.002): Token holdings for Ethereum (0x...) or Stellar (G...) addressesDEX Liquidity (
$0.003): Volume, price, market cap, and ATH for DEX token pairsGas Tracker (
$0.001): Ethereum gas prices (slow/standard/fast), base fee, and confirmation timesDune Analytics (
$0.005): Run any Dune query by ID for live on-chain dataFear & Greed Index (
$0.001): Market sentiment score (0–100) with optional 30-day historyCrypto News (
$0.003): Headlines and sentiment (bullish/neutral/bearish) from r/CryptoCurrencyDeFi TVL (
$0.002): Total Value Locked for specific protocols or top 10 via DeFiLlamaWhale Activity (
$0.002): Large token transfers above a configurable USD thresholdToken Security Scan (
$0.002): Honeypot detection, buy/sell taxes, mintability, and ownership risks for ERC-20/BEP-20 contractsYield Scanner & Funding Rates: Additional DeFi and derivatives market data
Key Features:
Dual payment networks: Stellar (5-second settlement, ~$0.00001 fee) or Base (2-second settlement, ~$0.0001 fee)
Budget-aware sessions: Set spending caps to prevent overspending, with automatic fallback to cheaper tools
Developer-friendly: Python SDK handles payment flow automatically; raw HTTP works with any language
AI agent compatibility: Works with any x402-compatible agent and includes MCP server support for Claude Desktop
Data sources: CoinGecko, Etherscan, DeFiLlama, Dune Analytics, GoPlus, Binance, and more
Provides capabilities for monitoring Ethereum network activity, including gas price tracking, whale transaction monitoring, and account balance lookups.
Enables AI agents to retrieve and analyze cryptocurrency-related news headlines and sentiment data from Reddit.
Facilitates autonomous agent payments and settlements using USDC on the Stellar network, while providing tools to check Stellar wallet balances.
AgentPay — your agent is only as smart as its data.
AgentPay is an open x402 payment gateway that lets AI agents autonomously access real crypto data tools using USDC on Stellar or Base.
No subscriptions. No API keys. No human in the loop. Agents discover tools, pay per call ($0.001–$0.005), and get real data back — all within a hard budget cap.
→ 12 live tools: token prices, whale activity, gas tracker, DeFi TVL, Fear & Greed, yield scanner, funding rates, token security, Dune queries and more → Budget-aware Session: agents estimate costs, track spend, never exceed budget → x402 protocol: works with any x402-compatible agent → Stellar + Base: pay with USDC on either network — Stellar (5s, $0.00001 fee) or Base mainnet (2s, $0.0001 fee)
Try it in 60 seconds:
curl https://gateway-production-2cc2.up.railway.app/faucetOr open the browser faucet: https://gateway-production-2cc2.up.railway.app/faucet/ui
Live gateway: https://gateway-production-2cc2.up.railway.app
Quickstart — 3 steps
Step 1: Get a funded test wallet
One call gives you a ready-to-use Stellar testnet wallet with 5 USDC pre-loaded:
curl https://gateway-production-2cc2.up.railway.app/faucetOr use the browser faucet — click "Get Test Wallet", copy the snippet, run it.
Step 2: Create a Session with a budget
from agent.wallet import AgentWallet, Session, BudgetExceeded
wallet = AgentWallet(
secret_key="S...", # your Stellar secret key
network="testnet", # or "mainnet"
)
GATEWAY = "https://gateway-production-2cc2.up.railway.app"
with Session(wallet=wallet, gateway_url=GATEWAY, max_spend="0.05") as session:
print(f"Balance: {wallet.get_usdc_balance()} USDC")
print(f"Budget: {session.remaining()} remaining")The Session enforces a hard USDC cap across all calls. It raises BudgetExceeded before any payment goes out if a tool would push you over, and automatically falls back to the next-cheapest tool in the same category when the preferred one is too expensive.
Step 3: Call tools — payment is automatic
with Session(wallet=wallet, gateway_url=GATEWAY, max_spend="0.05") as session:
# Token price — $0.001
r = session.call("token_price", {"symbol": "ETH"})
print(f"ETH: ${r['price_usd']:,.2f} ({r['change_24h_pct']:+.2f}% 24h)")
# Fear & Greed Index — $0.001
r = session.call("fear_greed_index", {"limit": 1})
print(f"Sentiment: {r['value']}/100 — {r['value_classification']}")
# DeFi TVL — $0.002
r = session.call("defi_tvl", {"protocol": "aave"})
print(f"Aave TVL: ${r['tvl'] / 1e9:.1f}B ({r['change_1d']:+.1f}% 24h)")
# Crypto news — $0.003
r = session.call("crypto_news", {"currencies": "ETH", "filter": "hot"})
for h in r["headlines"][:3]:
print(f" [{h['sentiment']:>7}] {h['title'][:55]}")
print(f"\nTotal spent: {session.spent()}")
print(f"Remaining: {session.remaining()}")Each session.call() handles the full x402 flow internally:
Checks your remaining budget against the tool's price (pre-flight, no payment yet)
POSTs to the gateway, receives a
402with{payment_id, amount_usdc, pay_to}Sends USDC on Stellar — ~2–3 seconds on testnet
Retries the request with
X-Payment: tx_hash=<hash>,from=<addr>,id=<payment_id>Returns the data

AgentPay accepts USDC payments on two networks:
Stellar — $0.00001 per tx, 5-second settlement (recommended for agents using the Python SDK)
Base — $0.0001 per tx, 2-second settlement (EIP-3009
transferWithAuthorizationon Base mainnet)
The gateway's 402 response advertises both options simultaneously. Clients pick the network that suits them — no configuration required on the tool side.
{
"payment_options": {
"stellar": { "pay_to": "G...", "amount_usdc": "0.001", ... },
"base": { "network": "eip155:8453", "asset": "0x833589f...", "amount_usdc": "0.001", ... }
}
}Base payments use Mode B direct on-chain settlement: the client calls transferWithAuthorization on the USDC contract and sends the tx_hash in the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header. The gateway verifies the receipt via JSON-RPC.
MCP Server
AgentPay ships a Model Context Protocol server that gives Claude Desktop direct access to all 12 tools. Payments happen automatically in the background using Stellar USDC.
See README_MCP.md for setup instructions.
Quick config (claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"agentpay": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["/path/to/agentpay/gateway/mcp_server.py"],
"env": {
"STELLAR_SECRET_KEY": "S...",
"AGENTPAY_GATEWAY_URL": "https://gateway-production-2cc2.up.railway.app"
}
}
}
}Without the SDK — raw HTTP
The x402 flow works with any HTTP client in any language.
