x402-bazaar-mcp

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes every paid API in the x402 Bazaar catalog as a callable tool for AI agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor, custom agents, etc.).

Each tool call is backed by an x402 micro-payment in USDC on Base — no API keys, no subscriptions, no sign-up. The agent pays only for what it uses, typically fractions of a cent per call.


How it works

  1. On startup the server fetches the live catalog from https://402.com.tr/api/catalog and auto-registers one MCP tool per service.

  2. When an AI agent calls a tool the server builds the request URL, hits the endpoint, and transparently handles the x402 payment flow: HTTP 402 → pay USDC on Base → retry → return response.

  3. The agent wallet only needs USDC on Base. Gas is paid by the x402 facilitator — it is gasless for the payer.

First few calls per day per service may be served on the free tier at no cost; subsequent calls trigger micro-payments automatically.

Requirements

  • Node.js ≥ 20

  • A Base wallet private key whose address holds USDC on Base mainnet


Installation & running

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Run (set your private key in the environment)
AGENT_PRIVATE_KEY=0xYOUR_PRIVATE_KEY npx x402-bazaar-mcp

Or with npm start after cloning:

AGENT_PRIVATE_KEY=0xYOUR_PRIVATE_KEY npm start

Environment variables

Variable

Required

Default

Description

AGENT_PRIVATE_KEY

yes

Hex private key for a Base wallet holding USDC. 0x prefix is optional.

X402_BAZAAR_CATALOG

no

https://402.com.tr/api/catalog

Override the catalog URL (useful for local dev).


Claude Desktop configuration

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json (usually ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "x402-bazaar": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "x402-bazaar-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "AGENT_PRIVATE_KEY": "0xYOUR_PRIVATE_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

After saving, restart Claude Desktop. You should see the Bazaar tools appear in the tool list (hammer icon).


Cursor / other MCP clients

Any MCP-compatible client that supports stdio servers works the same way — just point it at npx x402-bazaar-mcp with AGENT_PRIVATE_KEY in the environment.


Why agents use this

Agents need fresh on-chain data and AI utilities but don't want to manage RPC endpoints, scrapers, security heuristics, or per-provider API keys. One MCP server plus a funded wallet gives them everything — contract safety checks, live DEX prices, gas estimates, transaction decoding, and Claude-powered text utilities — all pay-per-use, with no subscriptions or sign-up required.


What your agent can do (tools)

Tools are loaded live from the catalog, so the list stays current. At the time of writing it includes:

Tool

Price

What it does

token_risk

$0.02

Token safety score (honeypot, taxes, ownership, holders) for any Base token

address_intel

$0.01

EOA/contract, ETH+USDC balance, activity for any address

gas_oracle

$0.005

Live Base gas estimates (slow/normal/fast)

token_price

$0.01

DEX price + liquidity for a Base token

tx_decode

$0.01

Structural decode of a Base transaction

wallet_tokens

$0.01

Portfolio of major Base tokens + USD value

trending_tokens

$0.005

Currently boosted/trending Base tokens

ai_summarize / ai_extract / ai_translate

$0.02

Claude-powered text utilities

Example

Once installed, just ask your agent naturally — it picks the right tool and pays per call:

"Is 0x… a safe token to buy on Base? Check the risk and current price."

The agent calls token_risk and token_price, each settling a tiny USDC payment from your wallet, and answers with the on-chain data.

Security note

Your private key is only used locally inside this process to sign payment authorizations. It is never sent to the Bazaar server or any third party. Use a dedicated spending wallet (not your main wallet) and keep only a small USDC balance on it.
